I really don't know what I can possibly say about this.

Me- This ad cannot be for real, can it?
Commie- Yeah, check the url of the animation. http://www.jda.go.jp
Me- For serious?
Me- What's the Japanese Defense departments stance on gays in the millitary?
Commie- Hehehe, I have no idea

Check the URL, Froggy. It's on the Japanese Defense Agency website.

Well all I can say on that is : Hahahahaaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaahaaa w: hahaaaaaahaaa. Dear oh dear.

I love the Japanese spin to things Like images of Father Christmas on the cross at christmas time...

Where do I sign up?

That's it, I'm moving to Japan. That has got to be the best recruitment ad EVER.

Join our salty semen. For LOVE, PEACE, and CUDDLES UNDER THE MOONLIT SKY.

EDIT: The Singapore navy has the best recruitment ad every.

Hahahaha. Nice. Reminds me faintly of the American army ads, which now offer a free hat at the end if you call or something.

OMG I think you're right. Clearly they're targeting the geek demographic.

平成１６年度街頭大型スクリーンで放映されたＣＭ = It is televised with 2004 street large-sized screen the cm

Yep, it appears they liked the ad so much that they put it on a large screen.

Lol, the japanese are insane, in a good way

I thought I'd drop into this thread again to mention that I was humming that advert for the next few hours. Thanks.

Tell me about it.

It's surprising how few people want to sit next to you on the bus when you keep singing "Seamen ship" over and over and over again.

That's one of the best puns I've heard lately. Congratulations! Unless it was unintentional, in which case I just have an overly dirty (or imaginative) mind.
Seamen/semen... must go tell my friend about this now. *laughs*

It's the old submarine joke: what's long, hard, and full of seamen...
