Advert

Postby akatsuka » Mon Oct 20, 2008 8:18 pm

Hi, I'm looking for an image or a photo of an advert that I saw frequently in Tokyo - more specifically on the transport system - during summer 2008. (may still be around now though)

Some details:

It was a Eikaiwa advertisement, but unfortunately I cant remember which one.
The image was of the back of a Japanese business man at a meeting with lots of gaijin around a table. All the gaijin were looking at him in expectation but the text written on the advert suggested that the Japanese business man's english wasnt good enough. (therefore you should go to this eikaiwa bla bla bla).

I really need an image of this advert or at least know what eikaiwa company it was an advert for. If anybody knows anything, please let me know. I'm stuck.

Thanks!

Was that the advertisement where their kicking the soccer ball around under the table and when it's time for Mr. Suzuki to pass the ball, he misses the ball and goes "Uhh... uh... yes.. uh"?

Sadly, you see the same shit happen to most Japanese salarymen when they try to speak Engrish in front of gaijins. I saw a good share of these during my previous workplaces.

That was really funny. If there isn't a Japanese version, they should make one.
