Crazy Japanese advertisements
July 31, 2009 8:30 PM   RSS feed for this thread Subscribe

The makers of Ninja Gaiden 2 have decided on an unorthodox ad campaign. The game is being advertised by two white breasts protruding from a wall facing the street (SLYT). There are predictably funny reactions from passers by. Obviously, this is NSFW.

The juxtaposition of a public ad campaign appearing on Japanese streets in broad daylight being considered unsuitable for the workplace is a little amusing.

Also, damned if I know how this explains anything about the game itself.

Just by judging how many people had to touch them; boobs would obviously make the best public vector for dispersing biohazards.

You don't see the hands until the final shot. It's supposed to be a ninja camouflaged against a door I guess. Why not black?

It looked like there was some fingers poking over the top of that "sheet". I guess the idea would be that some people make better ninjas than others...or just sexist advertising.

There is nothing unorthodox about using breasts to sell stuff.

I think it's a common cliche in ninja movies for them to hold up a board or sheet that matches their surroundings that they hold over themselves while standing very still. It's not that her outfit makes her invisible, it's that her board had to be modified for her to hide that close, presumably.

Also, white shows up better in a video, making the viral video quality of the ad online work better. After all, we are talking about the game right now. If it were harder to film and thus share with friends, it might not spread as well.

I think sigma 2 includes some female ninjas as playable characters. I recall a Ninja game involving a white clad female character, but I can't recall if it was Ninja Gaiden or something else.

Ah yes. I can tell you have never played a game developed by Team Ninja before.

Ninja Gaiden 2 has a female ninja named Sonia. Still...classy!

In Italy, on bronze statues dating back to the renaissance, there are two parts of the figure that are bright and brassy from being touched on a daily basis. One is the peener. The other is the big toe, which is clearly a stand-in for a peener for the more gently-bred among the statue-touchers.

In summation: peener. Peener peener peener, touch it, you know you want to, that is all.

(PS - games that aren't unbelievably male-hormone-loaded are still out there. Buy a DS and Prof. Layton's, and all will be right with the universe again.)

Oh, that doesn't just happen in Italy. There are bright, brassy peeners all over the world. Anywhere there are bronze peeners, they are being stripped of their peener patiner.

It seems that marble boobies accumulate more grubby fingerprints, though.

Between "peener patiner" and this, I now have the Major General song from Pirates of Penzance in my head. Thanks for nothing, dude.

The goal of the game is to touch walls in as many bad places as possible.

As opposed to the first couple, who are so in sync in touching the boobs that it almost looks choreographed.

Do really old bronze statues have tiny little peeners because they're worn down from people touching it all the time?

I understand that that part of the body was not considered very attractive, so sculptors made it smaller to de-emphasize that area. However, it seems, to the modern viewer at least, to have the opposite effect, especially if it's noticeably out of proportion with the rest of the figure.

And the tiny ones do seem to get just as shiny as the regulation sized peeners.

(For those of you composing lyrics at home, "tiny" and "shiny" rhyme very nicely.)
