Must not link "change" with monkeys!

There is a Japanese commercial for a mobile phone featuring a rally with people in the crowd holding signs calling for "Change" and a monkey at a lectern, holding up the phone.

This black site says that the monkey is clearly meant to represent Obama. It's possible but the Japanese tend not to know much about the world. Many of the younger ones don't even know that Japan was in a war around 60 years ago.

The black site has a link to a video of the commercial. Am I allowed to refer to it as a "black site", I wonder?

    When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

    When all you have is a racial explanation, every problem looks like a racial thing.

    I guess that this couldn’t possible have anything to do with that the great democrat Franklin Delaware Roosevelt in the early 1940’s, led the U.S.A in a fight against the Japanese Empire and in the process of doing so, he called the Japanese People Screaming Yellow Monkeys.

    Since FDR was a Democrat, he could do it, I guess.

    Why would the Japanese care one way or the other about Obama?
