OMG-Did anyone see that Sulu Commercial
OMG-Did anyone see that Sulu Commercial
Very poor taste indeed.
I'll never watch Star Trek the same again.
OMG!
Talk about stepping over the boundaries of good taste.
This was on PrimeTime TV Too!

LOL if you think that was bad, you should hear George Takai when he guests on the Howard
Stern Show!

Please, I would like to know. I work for Sharp Electronics and we are very proud to
have George Takai as our spokesperson.
He is basically giving an "out of this world" response to the new technology that
Sharp engineers invented -- the fourth pixel in an LCD -- YELLOW! Hence, Quattron
QUAD Pixel Technology by Sharp Electronics. RGB+Yellow
(Red+Blue+Green+Yellow).
I am sure the powers that be would be interested in hearing your feedback, so
thanks Marc (Shaffer001) for posting the clip of the commercial. I want to hear it
all -- the good, the bad and the ugly!
BTW, keep an eye out for more commercials featuring George.

George is pretty cool IMO. he takes quite a ribbing from the guys on Howard Stern and he
rolls with it like a champ.

I still don't get the problem.
If George stayed in the closet then it is ok for Sharp to use him as a spokesman, but if he
doesn't then he's not fit to pitch a product on television? Is that what you mean?
Is this a trekkie thing where you don't want your memory of Sulu besmirched in your opinion
or do you just not want to see gay individuals on television, ever?
No offense, really, I just am not following what the issue with this is.

I don't get it. George has always been like this even before you knew he was gay. George is
very cool IMO and people have been referring to him on Howard as he is the "official
announcer". He seems like a very smart and thoughtful man. I'm not gay but being a
spokesman for a product does not offend me at all. I really don't understand whats wrong
with that clip.

I don't get what's wrong with it. Is it because of the yellow having to do with his ethnicity? I
did not found this in bad taste.

One of the funniest "Family Guy" episodes ever was the one that featured a George Takai
portrayal. That's all I will say.

We've all known for a long time he flames. What's in poor taste on the
commercial?

Seriously, watch the last 5 seconds, and when he see's the Blowfish, his reaction is the
problem.
Am I too sheltered here?

That's what this is all about? Dude, I don't think that is a blowfish.
I could be wrong. Man, you really are reading too far into it.

Why would that upset you???????? He's a spokesman for Sharp he got paid if he felt
uncomfortable about doing it i'm sure he would have not done it.

That's not a blowfish.

What in the hell is this thread about? I've watched that spot three times looking for the
innappropriate "reaction" to the fish. I didn't see anything. He's reacting to the great color,
right? This is the first thread I've followed that makes absolutely no sense to me.

I think George is hilarious--don't believe me watch the celebrity roast of William Shatner.
That isn't a blowfish maybe a tang or a yellowfish--not exactly sure. clean up your minds
guys---this is a forum for watches. hopefully discriminatory remarks like this can be
eliminated here---it is tasteless anywhere. keep your remarks to watches. this will be my
only response to a non watch related post. thanks for reading.

OK Folks,
Knowing that the Network is playing on a Certain Lifestyle, and watching the last 5 seconds,
then George's reaction means nothing to you.
Maybe I need to hold up those signs that say, "I'm really reading too much into this
situation".
Darn me,
BUT PLEASE KEEP THIS THREAD OPEN MOD's

Close Friends at that.
I am not anti-digi "so to speak".
I'm more Analog!

I think his reaction to that exotic sea creature was extremely unprofessional for a Starfleet officer.

gay, If that his life then so be it!. It not mine, but George is a good guy! IMO!.

They're two colors short then if that was what they were going for...
I think they are using colors to represent the colors of the pixels, because that's what they are doing.
I guess people are able to find things to be offensive in anything if they want to.
