All Nippon Airways is being accused of racism after it released a commercial featuring the classic “gaijin” of Japanese imagination – a Caucasian with a gigantic proboscis and mop of blonde hair.
The ad was supposed to to highlight the handy addition of new international flights at Tokyo’s mostly domestic Haneda Airport, but a blonde wig and oversize nose put paid to that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jgzAOCmWA0
Barbarians living in the capital remarked that “how does Japan expect to persuade foreigners to come to Japan when carriers like ANA feel free to put out openly racist ads like this?”
AFP got wind of the story and pressed ANA further, after which they admitted the CM had generated a number of complaints amongst non-Yamato and apologised for any discomfort it may have caused.
They did not however go so far as to say they would can the CM over the accusations, however.
Online the issue has been the subject of much discussion:
“So whites have a complex about their huge noses!”
“The template for a Japanese is a bespactacled little buck-toothed camera-wielder so I don’t know what they are complaining about.”
“I thought this would cause complaints as soon as I saw it…”
“What kind of moron at the advertising agency let this one through.”
“Talk about behind the times.”
“Isn’t it really making fun of the Japanese though?”
“This is actually an expression of an inferiority complex on the part of the Japanese.”
“Japanese are basically envious of their high noses.”
“I thought it was more masochistic than anything else. Though it pretty much illustrates their level of international awareness that they never cottoned on to the fact it might cause problems internally.”
“The typical image of Japanese you see in their TV is less than flattering as well though.”
“I suppose the foreigners are OK with the samurai-ninja stereotype of Japanese and that isn’t discriminatory at all?”
“These whites and their victim complex, they are worse than blacks!”
“This about the only way you can tell a foreigner from Japanese in manga. Not that they are making fun of their huge noses or anything.”
“Many whites are sensitive about the ridiculous sizes of their huge noses. That emphasising this is likely to be considered discriminatory is common knowledge now. Especially amongst TV broadcasters. So what kind of idiot does it take to put out a CM like this!?”
“Do they think we are making fun of them? But we all think their noses are marvellous…”
“Whites are so easily goaded despite them all hating yellow monkeys and blacks.”
“Foreigners are easy on themselves and harsh on everyone else.”
“Are Pinocchio and Tengu discrimination against you? Stop calling everything discriminatory you dumb foreigners.”
“Their English conversation was even more stupid than the fake nose and wig…”
“Just what the hell is this commercial trying to say anyway?”
Black noses having flailing nostrils and bigger in my opinion. Only big noses I see are on jewish people.
All these comments about 5 and 6in dicks being average make me feel good about myself XD
Maybe I should do porn!
I guess it’s easy to brush off racism in a mono-cultural, mono-racial society. Like they’re forever wondering, “what’s the big deal?”
Why are you guys talking about dick sizes when you are never going to use it on a woman?
Whites have made fun of all other races for centuries. Now that someone is finally turning the table on them, suddenly this is racism? I call it pure justice.
For the record, I am white.
Remembered this guy when i saw the clip.

I think it’s a funny Stereotype.
Like the Moustache bearing Pizza baker italian or something like this
Now that I know what the child would look like if Donald Trump and Jughead mated, what’s next?
You know what they say about men with big noses. They got big nostrils as well.
Ladies and Gentlmen. That would be a JEW in the picture with the big nose. Given that Jewish people tend to have massive honkers.
An insular isolation mentality results in a society overall being rather uneducated about other people/cultures in the world, and looking rather foolish to the rest of the modern world with global communications as in the current state of our reality.
It is not even racist. Those filthy americans really do look like that.
Fuck you filthy anti american bullshiter
I think the Japanese don’t have a firm grasp on the concept of racism or how negatively this portrays them to the rest of the world..
Looks like a blonde Jackie Chan with an even larger nose? The large nose is synonymous with large dick, so they essentially got the gist right.
I laughed a little about the “On the internet” section of this article. It’s pretty funny to hear other people complain about racism. Especially since I’m your stereotypical gun carrying white cowboy male who drinks beer and blows shit up with a ‘Murica afterwards, however even I am not racist. In fact I’ve dated more “asians” (Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Japanese) than I ever have “white girls” (European descent). What can I say? Busty asians are awesome! 😉
I think this whole thing is a giant joke imo. Even bad publicity is good publicity. If negative reactions make them more memorable to western audiences, at least they are being noticed! I can’t name more than two airlines from japan… But I know one more now! XD
Boyacky, is that you?
http://media.cineblog.it/p/pos/poster_yatterman_boyacky.jpg
Well, they weren’t actually talking about the Nose on the Face, they were talking about that 9 to 15 inch long penus’s which of course, no Japanese man has so naturally yes, they are Despised as ungodly fuck demons the Japanese cannot ever expect to compete against males who will take all their young women to fuck.
Japan! How am I supposed to be able to tell that he’s supposed to be an American? He’s not wearing an American flag design on any article of clothing, and he’s not wearing a cowboy hat either. He doesn’t even have a gun, real or fake.
Come on, get your stereotypes in order.
GO Back to the KKK you white trash!
whoever complained must be a fucking moron, what’s wrong with that ad seriously? can’t we make fun of others without having to face the hateful comments all the time? we make fun, they make fun back who cares it’s nice, let it fucking slide..
bow before the master race!
OMG, Japanese are “racist” against whites, who are racist against anyone who is not a white person? Get over it, butthurt hairy barbarians. 😉
“This about the only way you can tell a foreigner from Japanese in manga. Not that they are making fun of their huge noses or anything.”
That might be because from facial structure and body-build the average manga character is more caucassian then assian in the first place. It’s kind of funny how they never semm to noticed though . . .
Stereotyping in commercials? FOR SHAME! That never happens anymore, because it is not PC!
/sarcasm
I’m a white, gun toting American and a military Vet. Let me just say HAHAHAHA! This shit is fucking hilarious. I’m a really hard person to offend though and maybe I am just missing the point but who cares. Its a big part of American comedy to make fun of ourselves and everybody else. We need not bitch when others do the same. Especially Asians, who do take a lot of racist jokes and other shit from us.
I´m european mix and i have a big fucking and masculine nose, even for caucasian standards, and i´m proud of it.
I dont care if i have a big nose.. i have a big dick 2 but u dont see me bitchin about it
hey whiteys,
give us the 60%, and we’ll give you a race card.
coming from a white guy w/ blonde hair I have to say this looks more like japanese Pinocchio than me,lol
….and personally I’d rather be stereotyped as having a big nose than a little @#$# too,lol
I didn’t even know this stereotype existed and I’m white, and I have the nose to prove it. So does that mean that my level of awareness is just shit? Or is it one of those lesser known stereotypes?
They’re just pissed because us white guys are going over there and banging their chicks.
While more than 58% of them have never had a date, much less been laid.
Sucks to be them.
As least the assholes committing statutory are getting some.
LOL ugly americans
go suck a dick
Most whites I know have small noses besides the jews. What are asians on about?
“This about the only way you can tell a foreigner from Japanese in manga. Not that they are making fun of their huge noses or anything.”
What is he talking about? Most characters in manga look white considering they don’t have slanty eyes.
The Obama monkey commercial was better:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si-lSLv9b4E
“Let’s change the image of Japan…. to one that’s really racist!”
hehehe
blond people.
oh wait, that’s an American joke?
Curse you white people and you’re hogging of all the international spotlight! America is retartedly racially diverse afterall. We even have a black president and you STILL think only Blond people live here?
Big nose jokes aren’t complete without Ashkenazi Jews thrown in the mix.
Hurts when whites are on the receving end of the racist jokes.
Wow I cant believe Japs don’t know what white look like.
Freaking island monkeys.
there are 2 different kinds of people that will react to this.
people who laugh and think this is no more than a racist joke (its not like other comedians make racist jokes much worst towards the asian/japanese) and the people who don’t give a fuck.
i feel like these news are taking some shit way to seriously. this commercial is suppose to be a JOKE towards the “gaijin” as they call it.
in the end everybody laughed or did that breath out of your nose sign of entertainment.
After seeing the fake nose, I couldn’t stop thinking about the witch scene from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”.
Personally I think of the pedophile from Otaku no Musume-san.
Who actually cares? Since when whites started bitching about “racism”?
They can’t even get steretypes right in Japan? Japan, you dissapoint. Again. It’s supposed to be a mop of blonde hair, a great big bulge in the pants, big blue eyes, and extremely popular with everyone.
And big noses? I admit, the Japanese people I met have less pronounced noses than non-Japanese, but I’ve seen just as many “flat” and “squished” noses on non-Japanese as regular and pronounced noses.
Racist? Nah.
Just weird. Just japan.
No point in crying internet.
Thank you.
I mean, the mop of blonde hair is kinda self-explanatory, but the big noses? I didn’t even know that was a stereotype.
Even if this was racist, I can’t really see how anyone can really be offended by it.
It’s kinda like portraying black people as rich and famous basketball stars or asians as highly intelligent researchers.
Stereotypes? Sure.
Racist? I guess?
Offending? No sir
Japan is racist as hell who are you kidding?
Any White person who takes offense to this is either crazy or lying about it. I’m as White as they come, and I think it’s a scream. I’ve reblogged this here:
Japanese stereotypes about Whites
So many butthurt beta white males in here.
The commercial was funny.
So all blacks are beta and butthurt? Because they complain around racism daily.
I always see Black women as the alpha in most Black relationships, so I suppose. Personally I’m not offended at all. Acknowledging racial differences and exaggerating them is not racist unless you portray the race as inferior because of it.
Annnnnd the perpetually asspained and butthurt asian kid mouths off again 🙂
Of course, beta-epsilon asian kids like you always bitch like a whore in heat so you won’t even recognize normal behavior if you saw one lol
haha this one’s bitin’ the bait lol
I couldn’t give less of a fuck that they are stereotyping white people. Americans rip the fuck out of every other nation on a daily basis.
I really don’t think white Americans are offended by this. I’m not. I’m very white and thought it was funny.
I am White, and I see nothing wrong with this.
Who cares? Tampon commercials offend me but I don’t burst into salty tears just cause I don’t like thinking about period blood.
The irony here is that both dudes actually have noses on par with the average white male. Dude on the left looks like a Japanese Leonard Nimoy. Wouldn’t be surprised if his mother had her insides painted by the Spocker.
Japanese people making fun of the size of other people’s noses is pretty darn good comedy.
This was also reported in the Daily Star UK newspaper today. That said English nationals living in the country complained about it too.
i found it quite funny Lol Sure they were mocking foreigners but still, our countries image from japan is the same.
“closed eyes” “small penis” “stealer of jobs” “biscuit face”
Whatever, who is wrong here lol everyone i guess
They’re a bunch of liars.
>>Caucasian blond

*sees pic*
Julian Assange must be doing well, eh…
typical image of japanese on our tv? they look like asians… because we can just hire any asian looking person in the streets due to the high immigration rate.
Seriously… I wish the Japanese would tone down the racist undertones.
How many months did they partice those lines ? Oh wait, is that racism too ?
marvellous noses
As a White American: 0 fucks given. Why is everyone so touchy and butthurt about everything all the time? Leave that race sensitivity crap to the blacks.
There’s a lot of stealth Japanese haters on this site. They try to do their propaganda hate on Japan every chance they can get.
it’s chinks or gooks pretending to be “white” or “American” it’s pretty retarded but also quite lulzy.
” Leave that race sensitivity crap to the blacks.”
you do know you’re the reason why sankaku calls Westerners barbarians right? You state that youre not offended …by offending another race that had nothing to do with it.
PSA TO Japan:
I apologize for his dumbass remarks. He is not racist; just ignorant and backwards. His thoughts does not reflect any of the Western countries or the people that live in it. Thanks
how is pointing out that blacks are continually complaining about racism and racial animosity? That’s like saying its racist to say Arizona is hot.
japanese americans need affirmative action! otherwise dat be raciss!
thats because blacks are not always complaining. Probably proportional to all other races (including whits that say that they are being discriminated against). Unfortunately its media that hype it just like it was Asians during the 30’s and 40’s and Native American before. Dont make blanket statement about a race and dont make comments if you dont have an education
Reminds me of the characters in Escaflowne.
http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhzyIV1Ujd4
Yep, it’s racist. A lot of people in japan are, they don’t see anything wrong with it. Keep complaining about dirty foreigners being too sensitive that will you out a lot.
Wanna try that again, this time in legible english?
No one cares what the dumb fuck gaijins who live in Tokyo think. Can any of them even speak Japanese? Nope.
If they’d actually attempted to make him look like a white guy, I’d be OK with it. But I don’t know what they were thinking with that ridiculous Pinocchio-like thing on his face. No human being has a nose like that.
Lol, ok, obviously too many people either read into things too much, or don’t know how to laugh at an obvious joke. I’ve never really like my own nose cause it’s on the larger side and a little crooked; but I thought the commercial was pretty funny.
Course, it makes me wonder what they think of most Africans’ noses… It’s not racism if it’s a fact!
Well there’s no question that the Japanese as a culture are incredibly racist, but that comes as no shock to anyone but a leftist twit who never left the college campus.
…Have you even stepped on college grounds?
I’m snow white and I don’t give a fuck about the noses, made me smirk actually. Not laugh because… well, it’s not the most original joke imaginable to say the least.
But I don’t really see how that’s supposed to encourage international tourism if that was the idea…
it’s just a comercial, it’s a little bit funny, stop crying “oh my god it’s so racist, i’m going to complain because i don’t have any sense of humour”
Odd, I don’t even care.
Sankom trolls you into making racists comments to see how racists it’s demographic happens to be, really racist. Don’t take anything at face value…think for yourselves after you’ve researched it.
“Sit on my face and tell me that you love me”
-Monty Python
Best song ever ^_^
Humans sure are stupid.
“Humans sure are stupid.”
You should say “some” and then you could have excluded yourself from that sweeping all encompassing generalisation which also includes you. Yes, you’re stupid by your own admission, but then can we trust what you said? Philosophy biatches. 🙂
You only realized that just now?
it’s balanced. they make fun of japanes in the very same ad: “Wanna hug?” …. “such an japanese reaction”.
Also if you go that far to call this racist. please include every novel/mange/anime in a fantasy setting it potraits for most of them allways western white caucasian barbarians. And in every daily slice of life with blond blue eyed characters it is the same. simple western view from the true nationalist japanese hivemind.
from their pov we still look like the very dutch/english barbarians on gigantic sailers several hundred years ago.
Japan was and will be UBER super proud of their cultur and heritage. and will make sure to let everybody know and exclude everyone else.
This is common knowledge. no need to go apeshit. I thought that this is the very thing people (not japanese) love them so much for.
Just keep that man away from my Cocaine.
Snort a line? Pfft, that’s for lightweights with tiny noses. Real men snort a plane.
That’s right folks, geometry is good for something. Drug jokes.
Damn! that was a good one too
You sir have won the internet
I live in the UK, a country which brands all Muslims as terrorists.
Don’t like it when someone insults them, though, do they?
Actually you’re wrong. The only people who would brand the Muslims as terrorists is the BNP. The UK population has just sat back and watched the country fill with millions of immigrants over the years, most of which claim welfare. Though a good portion of them have jobs. The general public don’t view Muslims as terrorists, though rightfully most people just want them to integrate into society. Oh and yeah we have a few crazy muslims in the UK but largely some seem to just live their life in a way that doesn’t draw attention to them.
*gasp* A person with a brain! I thought they were extinct in sankaku. You are an endangered species here, please do not get corrupted by the xenophobes that live here
By “UK” do you mean “unknown kountry” or something?
Oh great another, “Oh look how assholish the gaijins were, to insult our culture!” VS “Just how self-centered those sex-crazed yellow monkeys are?” argument.
When you let idiots argue with idiots, you’re just going to get a childish squabble of throwing insults at each other without listening.
“I thought it was more masochistic than anything else. Though it pretty much illustrates their level of international awareness that they never cottoned on to the fact it might cause problems internally.”
The more Japan refuses to deal with the rest of the world, the worse that will become. As it stands, Japanese businessmen do not want to work abroad anymore. It’s actually a bit of a paradox, as the reason for not wanting to is due to culture shock. Which only worsens when no one leaves Japan to learn of the differences and pass on what was learned, so that Japan can adapt to those changes.
“This about the only way you can tell a foreigner from Japanese in manga. Not that they are making fun of their huge noses or anything.”
Then stop drawing Japanese that look white.
It’s funny how people saying it’s bad press due to it being subjectively borderline racism. It’s exactly because of this, the advert is getting a lot more attention than it deserves, because the advert is cheesy at best. It’s purely intentional marketing genius.
All press is good press.
I’m not offended by this commercial, but I am confused. Is it meant to target Japanese travelers or foreign travelers? If it’s meant for foreigners, shouldn’t they have foreign actors to convey a sense of “now it’s easy for us to travel to/from Japan”? Or perhaps, a foreign actor and a Japanese actor having a friendly conversation to make travel through Japan seem more welcoming?
That was supposed to be a self-jabbed punchline at the end, but people don’t get it I guess.
all they had to do was add elf ears as well.
you can’t offend a race that doesn’t exist.
everyone should just try to relax a bit…..it seems being offended is some sort of new hobby…..what ever happened to a sense of humor..???
there is no humor at work for me…?
Even after rewinding a few times to make out what they are saying, I didn’t really understand why they were saying those things beyond “exciting, isn’t it?”…
people still use the word “rewinding”?
that was for video TAPES you know…
To be fair it was the first time for a decade that I’ve used that word.
Meh, we can be known as big nosed people. They can be known as flat face people.
If it wasn’t for your big nose, you’d have a flat face too.
You probably never saw the difference between asian and caucasian skulls, even without a huge nose the caucasian one is still far away from flat due to the deep-set eyes, high cheekbones, pointy jaw, etc.
This is hilarious no need to make a big deal out of it
The only person who looks like that anywhere is Donald Trump.
Speaking as a white guy, DON’T CARE!
Fuck white people, That shit was funny. ^_^
I don’t see what the big issue is here? we always show japanese with either a camera or a suit.
big noses, big dicks, something the japanese will never have
Oh it’s totally comical “wanna hug?”, dude if a comedian did that over here everybody would be laughing n shit.
“These whites and their victim complex, they are worse than blacks!”
I almost lost it hahaha.
I didn’t see anything overly racist or bad in the commercial. It’s just hilariously cheesy and terrible.
The assholes commenting over the commercial were incredibly so, on the other hand.
Yup. I see it more funny than racist, since the tall guy say: “lets change the image of Japanese people” and BAM!! the short guy take it the wrong way and change his appearance into western people.
I laughed. I just, wow. That was fucking awesome.
“Barbarians living in the capital remarked”
Seriously? you let fly with that?
Talk about hypocrisy.
It’s typical tabloid style reporting. With such people you never know.
“Barbarians living in the capital remarked”
Seriously? you let fly with that?
Talk about hypocrisy.
One idiot complained (maybe half-jokingly) and everyone seems to think that all gaijin have an inferiority complex? Really?
HAHAHAHAHA wapanese fools are going to cry at this HAHAHAHA!
In these comments, people who don’t understand that just because they don’t know racial stereotypes, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. This is how “foreigners” are portrayed in Japan. If you went to some small Japanese village and start calling them dirty slanty little ching-chongs, and they had no idea what that meant, would you still be saying something offensive?
i am really wondering exactly where do white people have nose that big?
It is mostly that the japanese tipical nose (and mostly asians too) is pretty short and flat so the opposite of it is the bigger nose. The same way blonde hair is something unlikely to be found naturally in a Japanese with almost 100% of them being born black haired the blonde hair is the extreme opposite of Asian so both are considered western traits. He could be 2.30 meters tall since Asians are shorter too but them they would have to put the guy in stilts.
lol if asian do this stereotypes to whites it’s racist but when whites do these “samurai” “ninja” “eyes that are too small to see” things it’s not racist? so it’s only racist when other races do these to them and thinks it’s just a joke when they make fun of asian eyes … not even funny.
Is that a joke? IF anything blacks play that card more than whites. You can only be racist against black people. Blacks can’t be racist.
You’re an incredible idiot anon. Even if there is the occasional “ninja” or “asian eye” reference, it wouldn’t be done by a major corporation in a commercial directed at increasing their Asian market abroad.
Owh. Really? I remember this one kfc ads where black people were too loud at football match.Then come this one white savior giving them fried chickens and all the the black people quiet down.Racist?
LOL that advert was PROPER funny ! So true.
I did not realize this was a ‘thing to get offended over’ until today. Is this seriously considered ‘racist’? Never before have I realized my nose is this big and such a sensitive point.
Apparently the proper defense when being accuse of racism, is to call the accusing party racists.
To call this commercial racism should be a criminal offence. It’s completely innocent.
The Jews who originally complained about this commercial, complained because it stereotypes Westerners “as Whites”, implying that Whites are the only true Westerners, when Westerners can be of any race. OR something to that effect.
There are Jews in every country. I’m sure this must be pointed towards Israeli people.
haha pointed. long nose.
this ad doesn’t make any sense at all
To be strictly racist they should have mention our dick sizes. No, wait…
we americans don’t really top the chart with big dick sizes u know. most ppl are just average.
Lose weight then, fatties. For every 35 pounds overweight you are, you lose an inch.
Most people are average. – Truer words were never spoken.
what’s next? some rapper gangster thug black guy in an ad advertising for flights to africa?
then again…. that’d work for america too come to think of it..
Been there, done that. It’s not a commercial, but look up the “Japanese Niggas” skit…
So what, now ? Caricatures are to be censored in democracies ?
As blonde, white, amply-nosed european, i’m okay with this. Whining about racist jokes is for the humorless inferior races.
I can’t see any racism. Western noses are big and japanese noses are small. And the same goes for dicks and boobs.
I wonder how it would’ve turned out if the CM emphasized those other body parts.
Just wait for the porn version of the cm.
I’m a Westerner, and I have a 4.5″ dick.
speaking as a japanese gay, i have to say i couldnt care less about how long your penis is as long as your still have your foreskin. Hate sucking yankee dick with all thier stupid jew infested open topped cocks. Nothing better than getting your tongue inside a foreskin and moving it around the mouth and then clamping gently down as he cums, trapping his hot man milk inside both his foreskin and my mouth, as it belches forth in hot silken streams of delicious, delicious fluids.
Small Jap and the usual tiny English/British dicks are gorgeous, but rancid jew yankee circumcised cock is a big no-no. eww !
trololololol
Must be of Irish descent. I swear you Irish have some of the smallest peckers imaginable. But in exchange, you women let you fuck them in the ass. So there is that perk. Irish women love anal [with small Irish penises].
u kidding? western dicks are huge. I’ve taken plenty of 8 inch and above white and black dicks. they’re awesome. on the contrary, the smallest I’ve had was an Asian 4 inch loser who couldn’t make me cum. so don’t feel bad, at least u’re half an inch bigger.
Well I’m 7.5 inches and I’ve fucked women who’d admitted to taking 10+ inchers, the funny thing is they usually try telling me that I’m bigger than them and their reasoning is that I’ve hit places inside them, that they never even knew existed. The secret? I go all the way in, striking everything they’ve got and these dudes with horse cocks only go halfway in. So their 10+ incher simply becomes a bellow average 5 incher. Also it helps that I’ve got nice girth, haven’t met an entrance yet I would not describe as “tight”.
yea, cavernous cunt on that whore above. Must be like throwing a sausage down an alleyway.
Wow your vagina must be huge. Slut more?
Poor Boy. But Exceptions prove the rule.
9 inches ? I would like to suck that. Do you let boys suck yo penis dawg ?
Haha I’m from Thailand and I have a 9 inch monster.
actually most westerners have average dick size 5-7 inches. Asians are around that size too. I’m an American and I’m just around 6.
still, japanese girl crazy about marrying Caucasian
It depends on how much money he has.
>marrying
Only if she wants to be cast out of her family. Most Japs love fucking big dick foreigners, but they bulk at marriage because their family expects them to keep the bloodline pure. So onto 1st cousins they do.
My uncle is shacked up with japanese woman, but from what people told me he is packing.
At this point Japanese girl crazy about inserting penis in female that isn’t dead.
Only super ugly ones, yes.
Why is it only super ugly ones? I mean I see blacks with fat white girls, but I have seen white guys with cute asians. Miss Singapore married a white guy.
keep dreaming virgin
That’s not really what racism means.
Though it may raise a couple of concerns because the Japanese are naturally xenophobic against pretty much everyone else, not just whites.
Maybe not originally, but if it was a black person in that clip, portraying stereotypes typical for black people, then everyone would be all up in arms about it.
you mean humans are naturally xenophobic
Yeah whites are totally xenophobic with millions of arabs mexicans blacks pouring into their countries no wait what is opposite of xenophobic?
No, mostly just Japanese. Xenophobia is what happens when you live in an isolationist society, where less than 1% of your population are different.
Shows how behind the times the ad agency responsible for this ad is.
Besides, there are plenty of Caucasians in Japan, and probably more than half of them are fluent in Japanese. Just what the fuck were they thinking…?
If being ignorant of modern pc bullshit is behind the times, then sign me up as a caveman.
“whites are worse than black people”
Yeah totally NOT racist.
That’s the definition of “behind the times”, actually.
That nose is bigger than japan dick size.
Sorry for bad joke
If I had a nose like that, I would get girls all the time… to ride it… ah.. the sweet smell of wet pussy.
LOL!!!! I was going to say something about the nose but you sir took the cake
Is that Nishijima Hidetoshi in that advert ? he’s fucking awesome, one of my fave actors of japan !
Plus, every last one of you on this comments thread is gorgeous and awesome. xxx
I believe that this myth was constructed due to the japanese porn directors pick guys with normal sized penises while westerners pick the guys with monstruous huge dicks.
Japanese people are short as hell, why would their dicks be larger proportioned than other races? Its not a myth.
You’re living proof that tall people can small penises.
the size of the penis has nothing to do with how tall you are, most people aren’t “proportionate”
As an asian and as an not that tall guy i have to agree with the logic. The penis is a body part and the size of the person should have relation with penis size the same way that it have relation with the head size, hand size, feet size, leg size, etc. of course there are tall people with small heads or short people with big feet but in average taller people should have bigger body parts than shorter people.
But the differences shouldn’t be as big as people joke around. By searching scientific data around the internet the difference is small and considering that the average height of different human population aren’t that different it all makes sense.
No one cares what size the guys dick is in porn. Who picks out a porn and says “Well, this guy has a small dick, so I am not gonna get this one”
I’m guessing you’ve no experience with a real live vagina, then, if you’ve got to google about their elastic properties.
Sorry to break it to you, virgin boy, but penis size DOES matter to women.* And, no, our vaginas aren’t gonna get all stretched out by a kielbasa sized cock. Vaginas are like steel traps – they snap back to size, ready to take the next victim. No one wants a sad prepubescent cocktail wiener. No one.
(*Average sized gentlemen sausages are preferred by most.)
Why would gay men or women care about dick size? Bigger = looser ass or pussy so bigger would be bad wouldn’t it? You ever hear of a woman who is glad her man is well hung and that her snatch is now a gaping maw? If dick size matters, then smaller is the way to go, unless you’re sure you’ll never need to attract another mate again and in today’s world no one is sure of that.
Bullshit. I cannot self-insert in a porn staring some needle dick.
I might be wrong but I think gay men care about dick size.
You both have no idea what you’re talking about. Go look up facts about biology and visual cues for (straight) male arousal.
Well they did try to get a woman with 2 vagina to do porn for 1 million. how does that work anyway.
If you’re talking about that Spanish guy, he isn’t actually very good looking though.
get the guy with to dicks (he did a reddit ama) to play in it aswell
Dunno where you got the idea that 5 inches and below is normal size
5 inches is pathetically small
I’m fucking bigger than this when I’m not even fully erect and my dick is super average at 6.5 inches :/
Some sad faggot with a small cock downvoted this lol
Intended message of Commercial:
“HAHAHHAHAHA……yes, we Japanese must try to become more American by becoming bigger nosed liars. “L-O-L”—-hahahaha…you see??? WE Japanese can master American IRONY!!!! BANZAIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Sadly, the hapless Japanese ad agency subliminally betrays their massive PENIS-ENVY by making it all so fucking phallic in the end.
Final message: “We Japanese wish we had bigger penises like the Americans. Oh well. At least we can make our Anime characters blond. Shimatta…”
ONLY a … No .. No I wont say it .. Just Face Palm Hard .. because uneducated people only see Their country and america as if the rest of the world does not exist… uhmm..
Hi there we are the rest of the world we have the colors white , brown , pink , black and yellow ..
And we are the other 90% of the world populace..
Maybe in the near future there will be another color.. neon green, hint hint.. oh yeah thanks for that by the way.
why so much butthurt?
“murican” isnt mentioned anywhere in the ad.
and those actors arent even fat.
Someone call the paramedics, this man is suffering from severe butthurt!
There was nothing remotely phallic about the commercial. I think someone must have a serious complex to drift to that conclusion.
Whether intended or just a sign of what goes on in the mind of the ad creator(who knows, and I don’t really care). But there is some psychological merit to this large fake nose being seen as a phallic symbol.
Just a bit curious why are white peoplee calling arabs “sand nigger”. where does that expression comes from.
And about the “yellow monkey ” one. If i’m not wrong there is a real monkey called white faced monkey in Panama right?
Yep this guy is definitely butthurt.
LOL, it seems to me you are one of the big nose, small penis guys.
You are absolutely right.
Ive been in a few navy locker rooms in my day. The myth stands true. Asian guys got the short end of the stick, hell even my asian friends girlfriends laugh when theyre not around. On the othe rhand, Ran across this black dude from the islands in training and he was no joke dangling at least 8 inches soft.
Not to be racist but I typically relate big noses to Jews
There’s huge variation in sizes across Asia, from north to south in a consistent gradient with the exception of Japan.
Mongolians have Khan sized sausages larger than Europeans. Northern Chinese often double the length of southern Chinese. With Southeast Asian countries getting short end of the stick. Japan is an anomaly – it’s fairly far north, but tinier than Vietnamese.
I remember reading a study about the whole “penis size myth” and actually the results were that SOUTH Asian men have the smallest penis sizes comparatively.
Who cares, by the time women find out about your dick size, they usually aren’t in a situation to laugh and leave you hanging.
Then you can be rubbish at sex AND with a small penis, but again, who cares? As long as you cum, you can leave her hanging.
Then she leave your ass.
Then you find a new girl.
“Is it normal for men to have erections in navy locker rooms?”
Haven’t you heard “In the Navy” by the Village People?
The Rear Admiral is waiting for you on the poop deck.
probably
Masters and Johnson compared penis sizes across the various genomes. In the flaccid state, Africans are longest, Asians shortest. Thus the locker-room perception that black men have the largest schlongs.
However, in the erect state there is little difference – on the average. Asians do have the least variation in erection size, Africans have the greatest variation. So one will find both the smallest and largest erections among Africans even though the typical size is typical of all males. Public perception is skewed by reporting bias – i.e. what guy is going to brag about a small erectin?
Is it normal for men to have erections in navy locker rooms?
lol white trash getting offended? who fucken knew…go back to the KKK
LOL no. Most “White trash” aren’t in the KKK and love racial stereotype humor. Only white people upset about this are White supremacists and their ilk who think everybody’s out to “get Whitey”, and bleeding heart libs with no sense of humor who think they have to “save” the other races. Everybody else would think this is hilarious.
One of the dirty little secrets of this world is that normal people (of all races, nationalities, etc.) don’t easily get “offended”.
Someone is a delusional white supremacist…
Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.
I would love to combat your statement but I can tell by your ignorance you’re beyond saving.
There is no such a thing as a white supremacist. That’s a myth perpetuated by jewish television to induce racial hatred by activating a ‘race inferiority complex’ in the non white viewer.
KKK only wanted to maintain a home, culture and children’s upbringing in the foundations of their forefathers, they eventually went militant because of the ‘white supremacist’ lies against them.
People that use the ‘white supremacist’ line are fake or have zero knowledge of reality.
From Futari H, Jap sex edu(?) manga, Jap dick size is 10.5 cm. average when erect.
Only if you’re measuring from the anus.
“Only if you’re measuring from the anus.”
But then it’s your boyfriend’s dick.
Yeah, the penis size thing is a myth actually, the average variation in penis size across all races goes around 2 to 3 cm.
It’s a perception issue, jap porn has mostly guys with average sized dicks while western porn casts guys with way bigger than average sized dicks.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/6161691.stm
Indians(from India) have the smallest dicks they had to have specialty made condoms for that country,don’t believe me google that shit.
@00:26
14 inches and the guy won’t do porn, thou he’ll whip it out for record keepers.
the funny part about that is that the guy with the biggest penis is gay
Myth? Ha! The condom industry disagrees. The REGULAR condom size for most Asian countries is smaller than that of European and American countries. This is because condom sizes are catered to different population averages.
In fact in places in Thailand they interviewed PROSTITUTES to discover the correct size necessary for the their people because Thais refused to wear them due, to them sliding off.
Which was a serious problem, to the global health board, due to the rampant spread of AIDS throughout Asia. And since changing to a smaller condom, which reflects the Thai people, condom use has gone up.
13.5 inch* corrected
I thought the world record is this white guy with 13.5 cm penis. I wonder what would it fells like to a woman to take that monstrosity in their vagina.
How is it a myth that the average penis size is much smaller in Japan than in Europe? And smaller in Europe than in Africa.
I have no problems with this commercial – surprise: I’m european non-fully-white man, and have a not quite little nose, with black hair.
I’m a European, white man with an average nose size (I suppose, not having ever seen any statistics), and I’m not offended in the least by the commercial. The real problem is that the ad is super cheap and is too poorly written and acted to be produced by a major airlines corporation. They should be ashamed of themselves and apologise to the stock owners. We aren’t living the 80’s or 90’s anymore. Today companies need to take care of their image.
I have to agree with that.
I’m a blond white european man, but i don’t have any problems with it either… Could be because i don’t have a giant nose…
I don’t see it as racism, i wish commercials were more like that over here.
Lol. Why everyone getting racism butthurt on an empty place? I don’t see nothing wrong with this commercial, just a little joke.
I suppose this is racist… but I try to avoid the word as I see it as a buzz word.
At any rate I’m not offended as a white I don’t see why someone would be. It’s clearly meant in jest. Some people just need something to bitch about.
The real test would be if Japanese would be offended if a Western country made a commercial that had a white guy with forced, over-the-top Japanese features.
You know, pulled eyes, flat nose, and a black hair bowl cut. If they bitch about it, then we know it’s a double standard. If not, then everyone should stop bitching.
Oh no they did a white-face
The commercial, while not really racist, is certainly racial. It’s not meant to insult, harm, or belittle.
People the world over need to understand that making reference (whether vocally, visually, or otherwise) to a person’s race is -not- the same as racism. It’s a shame that this commercial’s getting the hate it is.
Shit, Im mostly Swedish, Blonde and not the smallest nose in the world but not massive. The nose they used seemed stupidly massive.
Still not offended.
I am Swedish, my nose is bigger than medium, but i find that CM as funny. No prob.
Pretty much the same here and I thought it was rather funny personally
Yep. Some must have a huge nose AND a huge inferiority complex about it to see that as rascism.
Why would people with nose have inferiority complex toward those who are without nose?
I agree.
There seems to be a lot of racism (in all directions) going on here on Sankom.
Rather childish, imho.
Couldn’t even hire a white guy.
At least the bespectacled buck tooth guy is Asian, possibly Chinese or Korean.
The idea is that he is Japanese
“…such a japanese reaction”
“But I am japanese”
“I see. Let’s change that…”
The idea is that they are changing to be more western so having an already white guy would n’t make sense. The company is a japanese company becoming more westernized, not a japanese company being replaced by a western company.
To be honest I laughed at this one. I don’t see a problem with it 😛
Just what the hell is this commercial trying to say anyway?
That they’re expanding internationally, so they should try to become foreign stereotypes instead of japanese stereotypes
That japanese people are nationalistic yellow monkeys, as usual.
That ad looks accurate. Those filthy americans look just like that.
America has bigger nose and bigger dick. Japan has bigger influence in The world and bigger brain than America…
White people would not racism if itbite them in the ass. Dont why thier offended, know how many racial sterotypes commercials and ideals that are still portrayed in america for anyone who is not white? ALOT. Idk how it is on other countries but eveybody sterotypes one another. Also dont black or darkbrown skin males have the biggest penis racialy. Theey should higher more of them in porn then adverge whites.
America has a very diverse amount of people and portrays them in commercials and media. Whites donate more money than anyone else to places like Haiti and relief effort to Japan. Where is asians helping people of other races again?
To be fair, we did Nuke them… twice…
white guilt much?
I dunno, were you born at that time? I wasn’t and I wasn’t part of the nation nuking them. Neither were my grandparents.
White=/=american.
Those filthy americans
Oh look another American that thinks the US is the whole world.
Well, we are everywhere after all.
i also want to offer nose sex… but how should a foreigner be able to get into japan?
its all kanji right from the start….
Japanese people get turned on by big noses because they want nose sex
It’s fun to see JAP sink lower and lower everyday.
Sink lower? from when japanese people are not fascists?! telling this from the country were fascism is born..
