MTA runs Nazi insignia on Subway for Amazon show. Whoops
Slate.com | 2015/11/23
New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority would like to welcome one and all to a dystopian alternate history in which the Axis powers of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan control America’s subways and put up spiffy and horrible insignias everywhere. Amazon.com is hoping to advertise for its upcoming series The Man In The High Castle, which imagines what America would look like if we had lost World War II, with Nazi Reichsadler eagle signs and Japanese imperial flags all over a Shuttle train...
...Many New Yorkers and their families are from Asian nations once brutally occupied by the Japanese Empire. For them the seats opposite the Nazi insignias might be just as jarring.

DON'T MENTION THE WAR!!!!1!!

[matsuki]

From a strictly design perspective, that's pretty rad...

Don't tell anyone from the-Asian-nations-once-brutally-occupied-by-the-Japanese-Empire that the rising sun is still in official use by Japan's navy and also quite popular as a flightsuit patch with the JASDF.

The same way the Iron cross is still on german planes...

But inthink the number of ray around the rising sun is different

Sort of...

The Eisenkreuz dates back to 13th century heraldry, a bit like the (your?) Fleur de Lis.

I don't think there was a JIN back then...

Nazi-inspired TV advertising removed from New York subway

[wagyl]

Mission accomplished. They even got the details of the release date and online network where you can find the program, advertised for free worldwide on the BBC! A huge audience, larger than the number of riders on a shuttle line on the subway.

[yanpa]

Quite.

Now, I wonder if there'll be a version of that series with the same historical premise set in China? Maybe they could re-use the ad campaign.

And the swastika dates from the neolithic...

Also, the Fleur de Lis is a French Monarchy thing. Worn by buildings or flags of city/region it's okay. Worn by individuals... It's a bit like a French confederate flag... The south... Ehm... Monarchy will rise again...
