Somehow I get the feeling that this new symbol will be popular with Uyoku.

Back in the late 70s or early 80s Kerry packer paid top cricketers to break away from the establishment and start thespectator/tv friendly One Day International cricket series, all broadcast on his TV network.

I'm not a creative genius or marketing whiz or anything else that deals in bullshit, but if you're making an advertising icon, wouldn't it make more sense to make it immediately understandable?

Considering the way Japan is going into meltdown, I reckon Salvador Dali would probably have been a better choice to provide a more accurate image of the cuntry's current state...if he were alive (and Japanese because a foreigner would never even be considered for a job of this sort), of course.

Japan, land of the melting sun. Tepco: 'We got the whole sun in our hands... '

JTA -Share your WOW!/Give you WOW!

gee! look at the great prizes

https://www.visitjapan.jp/photocontest/2013/en/html/award

those gov. agencies really know what motivates people, I just have to see a tuna fish get cut up!

It's a contrived attempt to create social media buzz, and rather than use existing platforms they just had to spend the budget on creating their own, which may be why the prizes are so tacky (though this could be because as a government agency they are limited in what they can offer as incentives).

Frack, I live in Japan, so not elegible.

And I so wanted to watch the fireworks from a party boat...

Prize: Walking the runway in a fashion show, seeing a tuna filleting show, etc.

That "etc." had better be fucking spectacular.

"Walking the runway in a fashion show" is probably the stupidest prize I have aver heard of, in that its appeal, although sort of understandable, is severely limited while some would even consider it a cruel form of torture.

It's not as if you will be walking the runway alone...
