Lucky Star has finally had the unwelcome honour of being ripped off for use on a Chinese public service advertisement.
Admittedly, about the only surprising thing about this is that it took so long.
Chinese otaku are apparently disgusted, but it seems no amount of disgust, internal or external, will discourage China from doing what it apparently does best.

Why am I not surprised?
Yeah....China....again
The background in all the image looks like something taken from a children`s book.
Can't blame them Lucky Star is famous LOL...
For all that "fame" I don't see anyone else ripping off characters for commercials. So, your damn right I'm blaming them. It's pathetic.
They took my job
Given the obvious resemblance, it's beyond pathetic...
agreeing with Evofoo, its more the backgrounds that are beyong pathetic. the act of ripping off Lucky Star itself is China's apparent way of marketing.
I still can't see how they can get away with it, can't Japane file complaints of copyright, surely they have patents in their anime concepts.
So not only are you laboring under the painfully asinine notion that regional copyright law applies internationally, but you also ascribe "patents" to "anime concepts" in some sort of fictionalized conception of the intellectual property infrastructure as being broadly protected by "patents."
Moreover, not only does "Japane" not hold the IP rights to these characters, but it isn't anything in any pertinent sense.
To sum up: *Japan* has no legal recourse because it isn't the IP holder of these characters. Furthermore, the legal owner of these concepts has no legal remedy because of the lack of any supportable framework for protecting intellectual property internationally.
So that's pretty much chinese philosophy @ anon 10:39 if it's not chained or protected its okay to be a lazy ass and steal someone else's work ,niiiice, no wonder chinese are such a fucked up people. but that's okay after all you are meant to build cheap crap of dubious quality not to actually think and invent.
10:39 anon, of course they should have legal copyrights of the animes. Anything invented for the most part has a copyright and or patent of sorts, even then famous people are still renowned for their work otherwise we could all claim Einsteins or Newtons theories and work was all 'our' (anons) idea.
Fucking naive thinking you have imo, why don't we all just copy each other and lose totally everything that makes us actually think.
China ripped off stupid amount of things, i mean 5cm per second is a movie as well, an anime movie, but still a movie, and they have fuckall right to copy anything.
I think it has something to do with Japan's and China's relationship. It's always been a bit edgy, and i don't think Japan wants to start anything serious over it because they don't want any confilcts. Fucking communists, think everything belongs to them. 'Yeh we all share stuff and are a happy government, except we actually control everything and nobodies equal'.
No legal rights to hold the characters? Then how come certain anime videos get takin off of youtube? Must have Legal rights to the characters somehow.
It fits better with the character designs
why am i not surprised..... >.<
China rips off everything.
China builds bridges out of trash.
China makes jewelry out of toxic waste.
China sells organs from executed "gangsters".
In short: China needs to be destroyed.
I swear, everytime I read your comments schrobby, you seem to manage to do yourself one better in making yourself look stupid.
i lol'd.
I must disagree, his supporting points are perfectly serviceable.
However, I'm troubled by the lack of context for
"China must be destroyed".
Should it be split into little citystates like renaissance Italy?
Or can it be left whole, if it changes its name (Han-istan?)?
Failing that, are you suggesting rendering the entire chinese landmass
totally uninhabitable?
China after all these years isolated from god knows what.I guess creativity in China is lacking In the Advertisement Industry.
China must be destroyed.
For peace and love and world safety.
Remember safety always first.
And yeah China should lose some not han territory and rest should be divided.
BTW Russia Germany and USA should be divided too.
For the sake of peace and love.
And India need to be nuked for bolllywood films.
china must be destroyed to protect the puppies and whatever else they eat, and our children from their toxi crap that they try to pass as either toys or jewels
I don't think it should be destroyed, just needs a reform within itself. Better government, better housing, and better paying jobs. That way they don't have to resort to being the nation with the highest piracy rate.
china needs a revolution cast off the old corrupt ways and welcome the new corrupt ways!
@Sarissofoi: Germany still is divided, it's called Eastern Prussian and it was stolen by the Polish.
i stormy agree with 1st anon
"I swear, everytime I read your comments schrobby, you seem to manage to do yourself one better in making yourself look stupid.",i agree 100% with that
In short: China is win.
Winning for sure, but not alot of credit there in this case...
China makes the vast majority of everyday goods in developed countries
i dont know how they do it, but it appears that the whole friggin 1.3 billion nation is populated by bond villains
seriosly, if i read about such a country in fiction id say the author watched too much escaflowne and read too much tolkien
whatever they do, its just wrong in the purest sense of the word
i demand they be called the "Evil People's Republic of Wrong"
china doesnt need to be destroyed, but the government.
The government isn't (usually) the one making all these products.
Hey, hey. Chinese must be destroyed, just because they're stupid? Face it, if all stupid people dies, noone remains on this Earth.
@anon 5:24 the 1.3 billion people nation is like that because of their financial state.
the country is big and industry is booming, but labor there is cheap and the nature of an industrial intensive economy backfires on them.
Damn right.
If the people see they get gifts from China they'd instantly toss it back to them telling them they don't want fake [insert anything here].
So go back to that thing you call China and rebuild that wall so it's unbreachable so that we never see or hear from you again.
Lol Schrobby is absolutely right, why the fuck do you rate his comment down you stupids shitheads ? O.o
Ripping off? Why, It MUST BE China!
Rape is legal? Why, It MUST BE Middle East!
wow. the news are catergorizing countries already.
Ridiculous bans? It MUST BE Australia.
Female domination? It MUST BE Soviet Russia.
Bizarre conviction? It MUST BE USA.
Bizarre chikan cases? It MUST BE Japan...
Hei friend, did you have one for Brazil to? I'm a litle curious...
All of the above? It MUST BE Brazil...
Wow.... Why can't they at least make it look like the characters are different?
Oh well, what took them so long?!
Jokes aside, that's pretty disgusting :[
It's China.
china, LAS PELOTAS, ripean hasta sus culos
I demand blood... well... I demand blood at least 3 times a day on a slow day... I STILL DEMAND IT!!!
Oh... China.. Miko ill rage.
Get off it artefact. The japanese in the 70s did the same thing. You damn hypocrite.
was he alive in the 70s? was the internet invented in the 70s so he coould blog about it? your argument cannot stand on its own two feet.
What are they advertising?
looks like a car alarm
It's advertising:
"Civilized living starts from me"
Probably the funniest part of the public service announcement. It advises viewers to not raise loud ruckuses or wantonly honk as a part of living a civilized life.
Oh CHINA.
The irony of that statement is lost on them, I guess.
