I'm not a fan of the Chinese government, but the people who made this cartoon are making their own country look silly.

Nah, they have me for that. Chinese government isn't amused, hope they don't team up with North Korea, they didn't exactly apreciate this commercial

^That one was funny.

For the cartoon, I meant that the Chinese will think it's silly. I myself am not offended by it, but I think the Chinese won't like the cartoons depiction of how an Asian looks (narrow eyes, buck teeth, and Catholic monk hairstyle). I have no problems with expressing issues, but if there is a prejudice added to it, then it becomes offensive.

Maybe I should've watched the entire cartoon. I might be wrong about the cartoon.

Fragony: the OP is stupid (as Spongebob Squarepants is stupid, I guess) and so totally not funny. But your 2nd post carries one of the funniest commercials I've ever seen; (seen that also in the Best Commercials thread over at the Frontroom).

As of the Chinese government's usual "we don't like you insult my country" line, they can go **** themselves. Tyrannies don't get my sympathy for any outrage factor.

There are different reasons for disliking the country, it's type of government is not one of the greater ones.

Back on topic, OP's first post was racist and derogatory towards Chinese. The second post was genuinely funny.

Also, I agree with Antiochus: OP is stupid. lol

If Spongebob wants to express issues with China, then good for them. But the silly part ruins the point that they're trying to make. (I understand the problems with having so many jobs go to China).

There are a lot of Chinese who are against their government, whether it's environmental or human rights issues. Spongebob could've done well if it concentrated on the issues instead of depicting how they think an Asian looks.

Btw- who's the OP?

I assume you're asking what "OP" means. "OP" stands for original poster.

In before lurk moar.

Thanks.

I think Fraggony was laughing at the Chinese government being angry at the cartoon.
Anyway, I worry about this cartoon because I'm a minority in an Asian country.

I thought it meant Opening Post...well, anyway.:sweatdrop:

I don't think it was made by the SpongeBob makers, ShakaKhan, it shows a dutch URL at the end and looks heavily edited(a lot of stuff is not in the usual SpongeBob design).

OP signifies either original post or original poster.

Oh.
Then I guess the SpongeBob makers could be more pissed off than the Chinese are. ~D

Amsterdam? Americans in Amsterdam?

Well, that explains everything.

~:pimp:

But as everyone said, the OP was just stupid. Second one made me laugh though.
