— Oh, Asians… —

So, while browsing the Flumesday article (I don’t know how I got to it~), I found myself highly amused by two ads of delightfully horrible nature. The first is a Jell-O ad from back before they invented color, and mocks the fact that–at least to the extent of the knowledge of the Madison Avenue writers of the time–we Mongoloids were unable to come up with such a simple invention as the spoon. (For one thing, we only had a pentatonic scale…)

I must admit this to be somewhat true. Until I learned of it, I had a deuce of a time trying to eat my soup with chopsticks.

Of course, one has to be fair and balanced; apparently, there are racist Asians too–while the site attributes this ad to East Asians, the ad’s actually from Southeast Asia. It’s okay, though, we all look the same anyway. This ad is for a toothpaste. I don’t think it’s related to this one, though.
