GO GO GADGET CLEAVAGE
11.09.09I can no more easily tell different kinds of Asian kanji apart than I can types of Asian people, so I’ll have to take the Angry Clam‘s word that this is a Chinese infomercial — not Japanese — advertising a magical bra that increases breast size at the push of a button. Seems like SOME country has spent a little too much time making anime of schoolgirl tentacle rape bukkake and has fallen behind in the creepy bra infomercial race.
I checked with a friend who lived in China (the inimitable Spencer Hall), and he confirmed the authenticity:
We used to watch these ALL THE TIME. They have one for shrinking your vagina. [translating as he watches] At one point they’re just saying BIG! BIGGER! REALLY BIGGER!!!!
Excellent! Oh, and I was kidding about telling different kinds of Asian people apart. You immerse yourself in the industry like I do and eventually you can differentiate a Thai ladyboy from your basic Vietnamese child sex slave from 100 yards. I have that on my resume under “Additional Skills,” I might add.

I know, I know, I’m a massive weaboo and a tool, but Kanji is actually the writing system for both Japan AND China; there aren’t two different kinds of Kanji, it’s just associated with two different languages. The Chinese invented it, and the Japanese adapted it and gave characters their own pronunciations. In fact, many Japanese Kanji still take Chinese pronunciation (called ‘onyomi’) in some words. That is all. *pushes glasses up on forehead, cackles with nerd laughter, goes back to watching Ninja Scroll on the intarwebz.
“God’s Hand”?
What?
Look here, Asia. We’ll leave crazy sea monster and censored-genital porn to you, you leave big tit bra commercials to us. As long as we’ve got Michael Bay directing Marissa Miller in a push-up bra commercial, I’ll choose to interpret your polite bows as acknowledgment of our dominance in this arena.

The moral of the story is that still no one likes Filipinos.
Is it me or is it called “God’s Hand”?
Also: there were times watching that I could have sworn I was winning in Vegas.
And The League just wrote another episode.
