Bush's Newest Campaign Ad...... has anime in it?!?!
 
uhhhh.... did anyone just have Faux News on? They just showed the latest campaign ads, and Bush's newest one has Nicholas D. Wolfwood (a character from the Trigun anime/manga) in it! It shows a still frame of him with very large eyes as the narrarator announces that Kerry's plan for the War on Terror only dealt with Japanese Yakuzas!

As an anime fan, I was laughing my ass off as his picture flashed on the screen!

You can see the ad in it's entirety at www.georgewbush.com

There is only one way to answer this... WHAT?! Iam confused here...First of thats Japanese Animation (Bush is running for president of the united states of america, right?) Secondly is Yakuzas are japanese gangs, did Japan come to us during the L.A. riots? Whats going on here? Did I miss something here or does this make about as much sense as the "Chewbacca Defense?" Are your sure this was a Bush add? I did not see it on t.v...

Not all ads make it to television.
That... altered image of Wolfwood was put there to represent the Japanese Yakuza. Their point was to emphasize the ridiculousness of Kerry's intent on stopping global crime.

It was a poor choice of imagery, that's all.

If by poor you mean ineffably bad and just plain stupid. I think that there is nothing wrong with trigun but its like Brittney Spears singing Rock and Roll (the song) followed shortly by Busta Rhymes singing Wonderwall. Yes its that crazy in my opinion.

Bush + Anything I Like = R.A.G.E.(Really Angry General Entity)

What's this "Chwbacca Defense," anyway?

TheSpiritOfVengance 07-03-2004 10:18 PM

Its from the Chef Aid Episode of South Park. According to that its what got O.J. Free...

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca.

Now think about that for one minute. That does not make sense. Why am I talking about Chewbacca when a man's life is on the line? Why? I'll tell you why. I don't know. It doesn't make sense! If Chewbacca does not make sense you must acquit. Here look at the monkey, look at the silly monkey.

The defense rests.

Okay. I thought it was that space defense program GW was planning.

TheSpiritOfVengance 07-03-2004 11:42 PM

That is beautiful Fifthfeind. simply beautiful...

And that was the Star Wars Defens plan Reagan started but was put aside...

Wait a sec...is it legal for them to even take that image, alter it, and use it like that?
