This is probably the most controversial mobile ad that I’ve ever seen and Japanese people will never see again. A Japanese cell phone company has pulled one of its television ads that used a monkey that appears to portray Sen. Barack Obama. The company insists that it did not mean to create any link between the Senator and monkey but c’mon. They knew exactly what they were doing and the power of the internet exposed their dirty little secret. Score one for the net!
