ITT Doraemon conquers polio.


This is an ad at the platform in Wakamatsu-kawada on the Oedo-sen which is a subway that runs through Shinjuku. It's an ad for curing polio. I just think Doraemon is really cute although the picture doesn't quite show his expression. A pissed of Doraemon is cute indeed. Oh, it also shows the extent to which anime permeates the Japanese culture yadda, yadda, yaddda. I just had the funny feeling that right now a Japanese guy in the US is blogging the social significance of an anti-MS ad featuring Snoopy. Scary!
