A commercial--no longer being aired--showed the Democratic Party of Japan (DJP/Minshuto) leaders Hatoyama, Kan, and Ozawa as cartoons of themselves cavorting in the rigging and at the helm of a pirate ship. It was hard to figure out what, exactly, the message was supposed to be.
Could it be the commercial was withdrawn because people figured out what it is that pirates really do? Hijack what someone else built and paid for, use it for their own profit, wreck it, and then abandon it.
I sure hope the ship in question isn't Japan.
Okinawa Looks Like This
Peaceful: a beautiful place for a walk
自己紹介
- Chura
- Born and raised in the USA (NJ), I’ve spent most of my adult life in Japan. One of my favorite places in Japan is Okinawa. To me, Okinawa is a land of stories and an island of music, magic and mystery. The music is shima-uta, songs sung to the rhythm of a three-stringed lute called a sanshin. The magic is in the colors of land, sea and sky. The mystery? Mystery begins where the line between legend and verifiable human memories begins to blur. I am a member of the Archaeological Institute of America, chapter chief of a sanshin study society, and a founding member of the Marine Culture Research Association of Okinawa.
