So I was crusing around on Fark the other day and I came accross this link:
http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46494
Yep, Japan turned Ronald McDonald into a "sexy caucasian woman".
Bad advertising? Good advertising?
Personally, even though they've ruined my image of the happy McClown, I think it will do good for the sales. Sex sells, and hell, she is caucasian.
But what made me laugh most about the article was this:
According to the Times, when faced with accusations that hamburgers were inimical to the country's diet, Den Fujita, the first McDonald's Japan president, declared: "The reason Japanese people are so short and have yellow skins is because they have eaten nothing but fish and rice for 2,000 years. If we eat McDonald’s hamburgers and potatoes for a thousand years we will become taller, our skin become white and our hair blond."
HIS LOGIC IS ASTOUNDING!
Yes, create the ultimate race: super aryan japanese children!
Edit: Apparently someone posted a thread like this in General Discussion already, which I didn't notice. But mine is slightly different, due to the fact I posted an article which contains photographs. D:
