Sakura-Con Commercial

Postby Cap'n Nick » Fri Mar 20, 2009 3:26 pm

Have you ever wished you could find more people who understood your hobbies? Have you ever found those people only to recoil in horror at the monsters they are and that you, by extension, have become?

That's pretty much this commercial.

The folks behind the commercial have been getting YouTube to remove parodies of it because of "copyright infringement."

Because using a 5 second clip out of parody is totally not fair use.

The zero respect I have for these people just became negative.

This commercial strikes me as odd. It's making fun of the very people it is trying to reach out to?

Either that, or this sort of behavior is completely real (outside of the internet) and I have been gratefully ignorant until now.

Sorry for the double-post, but ANN's "Chicks on Anime" actually has a good article about it that they posted on the 24th. Here's a link:

That commercial was odd, to say the least.

... I'm almost ashamed that I'll be at Sakura-con this year. :P
Embraced by a gentle breeze, my heart breaks as I think of you.
All alone at the top of the hill, I watch as the seasons go by.

Wishing for courage softly, I pray.
There's no going back now, to those tender days when you held me in your arms.
