General Tojo "wet his trousers whenever he heard gunfire"

[Mulboyne]

AsiaOne: Ad agencies' latest salvo
A NEW series of multimedia advertisements by Ogilvy and Mather (O&M), boldly poking fun at Japanese imperialists during World War II, is expected to raise eyebrows when it hits Singapore's shores in February. The use of outright political satire is a technique employed very rarely in Singapore's conservative media landscape. One print ad spoofs wartime Japanese prime minister Hideki Tojo - whom the Japanese have often held in great esteem - saying that he had a "peculiar bladder condition" and would "wet his trousers whenever he heard gunfire".

Another print ad trivialises the devastating atomic bombing of Hiroshima as a mere accident. It goes on to say that only "seven civilians received slight chaffing and were discharged from hospital within the hour" and "a cat suffered third-degree burns on its front paw". The ads are commissioned by a non-profit federation based in San Carlos, California, called the Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia...The ads were launched in Malaysia last Wednesday - the same day the country was invaded by Japan 69 years ago. Similarly, the advertisements have been slated to be rolled out in Singapore on Feb 8, when the Japanese invaded the island. Commenting on its audacious approach in using satire, an O&M statement said that the creative idea is "to distort Japan's version of history to a point of political satire, drawing attention to Japan's absurd attempt to rewrite history and practice of self-censorship"...more...

General Tojo "wet his trousers whenever he heard gunfire"

Probably not, but he stained up his trousers real nice on Dec 23, 1948.

Great to see you back, AK!

General McTojo "wet his trousers whenever he heard gunfire"

Alright, that explains the pants-wetting.
How do you explain the bus-seat-sniffing fetish, or the Nazi stickers on his moped, or the paranoia that other evil-doers are "screwing" with his posts on FG?

Yeah, but the moment anyone makes a comment (parody or otherwise) that anything less than 6 million Jews died in the holocaust, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Jewish Defence League and other hysterical defenders of the lucrative Shoah business are all over you in a New York second....

There's No Business Like Shoah Business!

There is of course a huge difference between the two. There are many individuals, organizations and countries who try constantly to distort the facts regarding The Holocaust, whether for political or pure anti-Semetic reasons. It leaves no choice but to try and protect the truth from the Iranians, pro-Nazis and other scums.
The same can be said about any other event which is the subject of a cover-up attempts by the villains, may it be the Nazis, the Imperial Army, the U.S army, the Israeli army or your sister.
Correct me if I'm wrong but there is no dispute anywhere in the world regarding the actual act of dropping the bombs and killing all those people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That's why I might view those adds as tasteless but not as a threat to the true record of history.

Regarding your cute smartass pearl at the end of the rest of your garbage -
It might goes well with you little racist college buddies but I invite you down here to Miyazaki to say that in my face, I promise you - you will have to buy a voice recognizing computer to keep spreading that shit.

Have a nice day and let me know when you're here.

So this is an attempt to paint the Japanese war time prime minister as weak and incontinent. And this is supposed to be called news and late night entertainment for the socially challenged, and the dull witted super majority?

Ladies & Gentlemen, Tojo's granddaughter is seeking closure to her grandfather's legacy by making visits to war memorial in the U.S., and by attempting to right history of its wrongs in how her grandfather has been portrayed by idiots who have nothing better to do than to piss on someone who at least had the courage to acknowledged his own crimes. A man who served his country as an organ of state under the late Emperor Showa, honorably. He required no assistance when climbing his way up to the gallows to accept his own fate. Not even Tojo denied the charges levied against him, that to me makes him the most courageous man on earth. He didn't obstruct justice, there was no contempt of court during the criminal proceedings when Tojo took the stand. How many of America's war criminals have acknowledged their crimes?

So...what's the point of attacking him? You have no one else you can pick on?

Voice recognizing computer? What are you proposing? Your tongue deep down my throat while you furiously stroke my cock? Or, grab my hair while you stick your cock down my throat. Manly macho man stuff like that?


Or, is it cleverly unsaid promise of ultra-violence in a thrilling righteous fashion? Oooh~! FG Stud.


Way to prove a point! Internet tough guy

I've got six million reasons to fucking track you down you piece of shit, TennoChinko or whoever you are! I swear I will hunt you down and hurt you until you squeal and bleed like the filthy faggot pig you are.


Sweet~!

[kagemusha]

As I expected, instead of dealing with the main argument, pointing at your cognitive dissonance, you are grabbing the side kick as a lifeline and an excuse for spreading some more incoherent BS.
If you don't have the ability to face your mistakes - suit yourself, just let me know when you're here.

Losers like you are found all over the Internetz.

What's so special about Miyazaki? Do you own it? Or is it particularly inexpensive down there?

Find someone you disagree with? Internet tough guy challenge~! Grr. Rawrr.

Manly cool veiled threats of violence, stalking, death and of course great physical pain~!


Cognitive dissonance? My ass!

What's slightly amusing is that your reaction was exactly per the angry violent outraged stereotype I outlined originally. We FG's can make critical commentary on the Chinese, Japanese, dead Cambodians, Rawandans, and every other goyim under the sun ... but da shoah? Nope - that's supposed to be holy sacred material. Damn Godwin's Law!

This is parody? One of Japan's more recent prime ministers quit because of diarrhea and he didn't even need to hear gunfire...

I'm starting to suspect I'm arguing with a retard here. Since I don't know you and if that's the case please accept my apologies and go back playing with those big Lego cubes.

This is getting a little pathetic
There is no shame in saying you have made a mistake by bringing up the
Holocaust for no real reason just so you can have some cheap laughs. you don't have to feel bad if you didn't understand the
first and main part of my original reply, just ask and I will type
again a little bit slower this time.

If you like arguing with straw men you invent inside your head, go
ahead and have fun but don't expect me to defend a position I didn't
bring up in my reply - if you have some beef with the Wiesenthal center
people talk to them or to your therapist, I'm not going to blame you
for being a neo-Nazis just for some stupid a hysterical remarks but this is probably just one of the fine differences between us.

The funny or sad thing here that you bring up the Holocaust in a
completely unrelated subject, attacking it for no reason and finish
with a disgusting sewer humor. When told you are an ass you reply by
attacking the people who try to protect the memory of the tragedy from
the groups I have mentioned in my first reply - not from you, you are
just a small time piece of shit.

I don't think it is just about Jews and the holocaust and I'm not sure
I understand your hysterical blubbering about the goyim - but I'll give you this, you do sound like a classic hysterical Jewish mother.

Try to make a wiseass remark like that during a memorial service for
MLK I'm Harlem, try to pass an insensitive joke about the death march
next to the families of the POW in the Philippines and I promise you
you will have to crawl back bleeding to the hole you have come from.
Making fun of other people tragedies is immature at best and vile or
sinister in other cases, I hope your case is the former but it still
won't save your face from a hard smack if you let out this shit around me.

I don't know what the jokes about Japanese or Eskimos got to do with
your shit - is that your defense? Are you for real?
There is nothing bad in laughing at people, culture or races - as an
extremely non PC guy I don't have any problems with that but there is
a big difference between a good dose of cynicism and joking about other
people suffering, the first is healthy the later will send you into
the arms of the health system.

All the best

Not to be a McTojo here, but how do other people feel about this "Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia"? Does historical truth really need a guerilla marketing campaign?

Sometimes I find myself wondering if 50 or 100,000 people were killed in the Nanjing massacre (as opposed to 300,000, not that the crime is any less), and if many of the comfort women weren't really prostitutes. Japan has never pushed an alternative history to the one the Allies decided in 1945, and it seems to me that an analysis of Japanese historical documents would come up with new information. Maybe the reason the right wing crazies keep harping on these two issues, out of a war that killed tens of millions, is because they know that there is real debate in academia.

On the other hand, I find myself highly suspicious of the PRC government view of history, as well as Iris Chang's (unfortunately quite racist) view of Japan....

Any thoughts?

Sorry to hijack a thread about gin, beefeaters and Greji's avatar;)

No. You breathed life into this thread from all the dead pigheadedness:jawdrop: around here.

Calling the right wing a bunch of crazies in their own country is not really necessary, they have a right to express their view of history, as long as they don't break the law. I do agree it's time for real historians to take another look at the history of WW2, but preferably not from less knowledgeable folks on this forum, and their skewed view of history. Yokoyammer would be one such person to steer clear away from with his over emotional psycho-babble that he and others pass off as intellectual. A more objective point of view would be best over such an issue like with issues surrounding so-called comfort women, nanjing(sp?), and the so-called claimed murder of millions. These are not all fact based and require better methods of analysis to properly verify the validity of such allegations.

[Greji]

These are not all fact based and require better methods of analysis to properly verify the validity of such allegations.

By this, I assume that since you state "verify the validity", you consider that Nanking and the death of millions are simply unfounded allegations?

If that be the case, you have obviously never spent any serious time in the University, or other libraries, for study on the topic and have just been ingesting entirely too much ueoku chaji.

I am not a Nanking denier, but I do believe that there are two sides to every argument. The contention I have is when people accuse Japan of single handedly masterminding the deaths of millions of Chinese people, without first taking into account disease and famine, and even the involvement of China's own government.
