Taste in advertising doesn't seem to be one of this country's strong points.
Just a day after the WTC crashes, I was watching TV in local yakizakana, and
saw a one-second clip of that second plane slicing into the tower like a
knife through warm butter flash onto the screen, immediately followed by a
shot of dozens of Japanese businessmen at an outside cafe, flipping open
their laptops and getting the news wirelessly through their Air H" cards. I
haven't seen this spot since, so I assume it was pulled.
