Loco Roco seems a bit sketchy to me
New advertisements have now gone up in Japan for the LocoRoco video game by SCEJ, and umm... wow.
Here's the biggest one I've found.
And is it just me or does this seem obligatorily racist?
I mean, it's showing the antagonists of the game as seemingly dread-locked "Blackface" character sits there eating watermelon while quoting that this is "the happiest game ever!".
Ok, now I understand Japan does not have a large black population, hell, it's predominently homogenous, having a very small population of "outsiders", but come on. Japan is one of the most xenophobic countries in the world, and that's swell and all, but this advertisement would get someone dragged into the street and shot in the US.
But just remember, it's "The Happiest Game Ever!"

Don't believe everything you see. By looking at the 'rating' icon, this is definately user created. FYI...Video games are rated by the ESRB, and doesn't have an "R" rating.
