Anybody else apalled by the recent McDonald's commercials featuring "Mr. James"? They're wrong on so many levels, but I won't even waste the energy typing. This article sums it up nicely. I normally hate this guy, but he makes good points and brings all the info together.
Meet Mr. James, gaijin clown | The Japan Times Online
One thing not discussed in the article that I was wondering is, what the hell is going through the actor's head? The only thing I can justify is that he doesn't care and is just making a quick buck. This wouldn't be outsourced, would it? It's all taken care of by a Japanese ad agency so I can't see why a foreigner in Japan wouldn't be used. Has this fool no self respect or respect for the community of not-Japanese people (98% of the world population) to which he belongs?
