Hi Debito, <\/em>Hope all is well. Not sure if I’ve told you this before but I own a Slingbox in Fukuoka which allows me to watch live Japanese television from home here in the USA. This evening I was watching \u798f\u5ca1\u653e\u9001 (FBS) and saw a commercial that was apparently trying to depict two Japanese people feeling like they were in a foreign country while on vacation. To make them look “foreign” they placed large noses and blonde hair on them and made them speak Japanese with a distinct foreign accent. It kind of reminded me of the whole McDonald’s Mr. James deal<\/a><\/em> (not as blatant but still made me think, “What the heck?!”). I was attempting to put together screen shots, etc. for you (as my Slingbox allows me to pause and back up) but I found the commercial on YouTube. The company is<\/em> \u306a\u304c\u3055\u304d\u65c5\u30cd\u30c3\u30c8<\/em><\/a> [which links to an English site sponsored by the “Nagasaki Prefecture Convention and Visitors Bureau<\/a><\/em>“].
