You know that full-size Gundam statue -- well apparently there's a project underway to get a full-size walking Gundam in time for the 40th anniversary.

Apparently following on Toyota's Miku campaign, Ford is taking it to over 9000.

^ Well, it fits.

Episodes where absolutely nothing happens, except staring at each other while screaming? Sounds totally like Ford owners' regularly occurring ordeals... :devil:

The lyrics are even more insane than the video would hint at, believe it or not.

The person who did the rough translation also noted that surprisingly the lyrics made no mention of Jews, just some nonsensical lyrics about how Communism is scary and Democracy doesn't work but NationalSocialism is rational or something like that.

What's the point in getting angry man? It's not implying the Holocaust didn't happen or that Hitler was cool, and this isn't even some official endorsement made by Abe or something... just some silly vocaloid made by who knows for who knows what (publicity) reason.

It's not unprecedented for Nazis to be featured prominently in Japanese entertainment. For example, this PS2 game:

http://www.amazon.com/Daisan-Teikoku-Ko ... on+2+games

The title translates (via Google Translate) as: "Third Reich studio machine 2: The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich 2". I've found exactly zero information on this game beyond the fact that it exists, but it seems to be a WWII game where you actually play as the Nazis.
