(click) Tasteless is bad enough. Unfunny and tasteless, no excuse. By the CBK Group, a hack Paramus, NJ agency. More Chip Shop ads here. Here's the two most tasteless ads from 2011.
it took me a minute to get the (horribly racist) "joke." i thought "are their eyes 3/4-closed because they're tired from working long hours? drunk on the job? masturbating (after all, i was seeing it here)?" then i saw the logo at the bottom, and i remembered those other racist ads for the chinese restaurant, and i put it all together... yeah, super-offensive. and stupid. did actual Japanese people (client-side) approve this?

cath: the Chip Shop awards is a fake ad contest via the UK.
cr: ah, thanks. that makes sense, then. i imagine it would kind of end up being a "troll contest."
