YouTube - Japan's Mr. James McDonalds TV Commercial
This one's actually really funny. It's not bad. I haven't seen this one yet (as it's not being aired). The Japanese speakers will see why it's funny. Especially when he starts doing Japanese tongue twisters.
The one's being aired now aren't on youtube yet. They just started not too long ago. When I get some links I'll post them. However, they're pretty bad. THey have him running around Japan screaming about how much he loves it in Japanese (NIPPON DAI SUKI!!!!!!!) in peoples' faces, and generally being a "baka gaijin". It basically promotes stereotypes to a population that is generally ignorant of foreigners to begin with. I can imagine being confronted with a Japanese person in the near future who, after talking to me for two minutes, says, "oh wow you're not like Mr. James at all. That's so crazy".
