Chinatown Billboard Will Be Changed After Complaints

http://jimromenesko.com/wp-content/u.../billboard.jpg

A Portland radio station is taking down a billboard in Chinatown after hearing complaints that it was racially insensitive.

The ad announced in big black letters: “We Love You Long Time.”

It’s taken from the 1987 Stanley Kubrick film Full Metal Jacket, where a Vietnamese prostitute solicits an American soldier.

It’s also used in a Black Eyed Peas song.

More at the link.
No one thought "this is a bad idea" before it went up? :facepalm:

Or perhaps billboards that don't make Asian prostitution references in Chinatown would be a good start.

Now that you mention it, it is indeed a great tourist draw. But this isn't a tourism billboard.
