Well that sounds creepy. Just because you can use school girl, doesn't mean you should.

Using a school girl is never wrong.

yeah but i'm surprised that there are people who aren't used to this by now
still terrible
i feel like i can't really get a feel for the ad being a westerner just reading an article's description of it, but it sounds pretty dumb at least

While I'm all for advertisers to freely portray their products in any way they see fit (as long as they subjecting their actors to any harm), I can understand how others would feel grossed out watching this eel ad.

Nothing offensive about a woman in a school swimsuit. People get offended about anything these days.

And you assume I didn't. I read the description of the commercial, and it's nothing offensive. People just get offended about anything sexual these days even if it's just innuendo.

So, this illness finally reached Japan, huh. I hope it won't result in rabid people who care about social justice trying to ban things that they don't lik... er, find offensive.

Yeah, based on how this commercial's described, this sounds incredibly awkward and off-putting.

Well, until you roast her over an open fire and eat her. It's a good thing they dehumanized her by turning her back into an eel at that point. Otherwise, then it suddenly becomes an ad that accidentally promotes vegetarianism.

What illness? They're complaining. People aren't allowed to complain? It'd be an awful world if people aren't allowed to voice their opinions.

This commercial isn't sexist it's just plain stupid. Hell this ad could rival some super bowl ads in the dumbest super bowl commercial ever department.

Aren't the people, who think it's sexual, perverted people themselves? It's their dirty mind that view the ad as sexual.
