A MetaFilter poster points to a commercial on this Australian website for Kan Tong, maker of Asian food products and sauces. The commercial imitates and pokes fun at the stereotypical Asian television spot in which the slogans are repeated over and over and actors act wacky. One one hand, it’s just plain funny. On the other, as indicated by several comments on MetaFilter, it’s offensive and perpetuates Asian stereotypes as envisioned by Australians.
