There was a video out in America called 'Cartoon Scandals' that featured about an hours worth of banned cartoons.
Most of them were WWII era. That's where I first saw (and heard of) this one.
The rooster during the opening news broadcast turns into a vulture with an Asian face saying 'cock-a-doodle-doo please.' After that it's eight minutes of propaganda played out like a newsreel.
Viscously racist, but when you look at it as the piece of history it is, it can (and should) be forgiven.
Slicing ration cards to make sandwiches.
Showing the ruins of Rome while calling Moussolini 'Ruin #1.'
A minesweeper using a broom.
A manned bomb with the pilot saying 'RET ME OUT OF HERE.'
And of course the stereotyping. Every Japanese was drawn with big teeth, constantly bowing, and saying 'please' at the end of every broken sentence.
The funniest bit? The air raid siren that was two bowing men stabbing each other in the tush with pins. "oooo-OOOOOO"
Hey AOL. Let this one out. It deserves notice. My wife laughed at this. And she's 100% Japanese.
