Is it just me, or do you guys notice Asians being well-represented in commercials for shipping/delivery companies?
Both of these commercials have been shown in Australia.
Fedex:
DHL:
Popping Hyun Joon is a legend.
I love this commercial because it's such an accurate depiction of what I do on a daily basis. My girlfriend can testify!
Was watching TV the other day when a television commercial came on:
I'm not exactly sure whether this is positive or negative representation of Asians... but hey, at least it's representation. It's quite a random commercial, but probably not as random as the sudden product placement of Motorola phones in Jay Chou's music videos. Speaking of Jay Chou, here's a Motorola commercial with him:

Have you seen the McDonald's commercial where a deluge of people run together to form shapes of McDonald's food? Well, in the beginning, there's a blonde chick, but in the background, right behind her, and slightly to the left is an Asian guy. Woohoo! Go non-stereotyped Asian guy! You represent! Next time the ad comes on, watch out for him!
See how desperate I've become for seeing non-stereotyped Asian guys on television? I'm resorting to cheering for background characters. Now... when will we get a chance to come to the foreground?
