does this sign have legs or is there a man inside?...
THERE IS A MAN INSIDE!! i was on my way to petsmart just about 2 hours ago to return an item for flannel, when i came across this man. what an ad campaign. every few seconds he would shout, "sushi, sushi, want sushi!" the best line was when he approached a pretty blonde woman..."hey baby. baby, want sushi, baby?" as one might imagine, the pretty (now disturbed) blonde continued walking, pretending that there was not an obnoxious sign-man harassing her.
who decided this was a good idea? dress up as a california roll, or even some tempura - sure. but a sign?
i'm sorry, but if hiro's sushi cafe was ever on my list of "must eats," it is officially off.
But it's ALL YOU CAN EAT!!! It has obnoxious built right in.
ReplyDeleteEverything about it is obscene.
I vote the guy should stay. And, as I'm a sushi pig, I wish I lived over there. I'd be getting my $18's worth.
Just for a reference. The sign man, as you call it, used to be very common in a few certain districts in Tokyo (I don't know if you still find these guys today) for a couple of decades after the WWII. They are called the "sandwich man", not because they eat sandwich as they march screaming "Hey, baby, baby, want sushi, baby?", but because they were sandwiched by these signs. Hiro's cafe must have picked the idea from that.
