Japanese manners - part 2

March 15th, 2007 by Nick Ramsay

In part 1 of this Japanese Manners series, I showed you a public service announcement to encourage people not to drop litter. In this country, people would rather turn a blind eye than tell a stranger off for doing something they shouldn’t.

This next video isn’t the final version that made it to TV, but the message is the same. The glossed-up final cut was shown in commercial breaks during prime-time TV hours to the entire Japanese population. It tackles the unforgivable problem of eating cheeseburgers on trains, and reminds you that “The train is not your room”.

I don’t know if it’s implying you shouldn’t eat on the train, or if you should clean up the ketchup that leaks from your burger. I’ll let you decide…

Note: The video ends at around 40 seconds, but continues doing nothing for much longer.
