My latest viral

Hey guys.

Here is a very viral viral I just shot last week.
here (in Australia) it has received a lot of attention.
It has been on the 7 o'clock news twice on two channels and there has been write-ups in the major newspapers regarding the content.
Lots of politically correct whining old ladies.
(Which is just what we wanted)
I love the internet - do what you want.

At this stage we've had about 250 000 views.

It was shot on the Canon HDV camera using the standard lens.
Grading was done in Shake.

Let me know what you think...

Thats brilliant! Would never make it to air here in US. Great concept and great execution.

That's freakin' hilarious.

Politically correct people might have a problem with Japanese characters being used. But hell, we Asian people can't bitch about not being used enough in TV and movies while complaining about political incorrectness, right?

I dunno Derek

Japan is the largest consumer of Whale meat despite 2/3rds of the nation against whale hunting. Japan is the largest nation still hunting whale and ignores International Whale hunting treaties.

They could of used a Norwegian too I guess.

Funny thing is this ad was made to piss off the Japaneese especially.
Its mainly being distributed on-line for the very reasons you mentioned above.

Thanks for the input guys.

Excellent, Bravo, Applause...
Sorry Japan, we are friends for a lot of centuries, Portugal was the first european nation to visit you in the old times, but this add is excellent.
A good inspiration for us here.
We no longer kill whales in the Azores Islands for a long time, we follow the international laws, but our stupid tradition of bullfights is a open crime to all eyes.
