“Opposition” Party
This commercial is currently airing on Japanese TV:
It might not look like it, but it’s actually a commercial for the DPJ, Japan’s main opposition party. Does the commercial bring up serious flaws in the ruling party’s leadership? Maybe it can mention a specific problem and a solution the DPJ offers, or even some mention of a policy stand? Nope. Most of the commercial is taken up by a lame scene of party leader Ichiro Ozawa struggling to pilot a ship over stormy waters, with his buddies coming to his aid. It then offers a vague promise of a “Lifestyle Restoration,” whatever that means. If this is the best advertisement Japan’s opposition party can make, I’m guessing we’ll be seeing another 60 years of one-party rule in this country…
