Man, I was hoping some country appointed a former porn star or something.

Ambassador from other country: I don't know about this treaty...
Porn Ambassador: *starts to remove clothes* let's "negotiate".

I wonder why they didn't pick Pikachu? He's much more recognizable world-wide (I have no idea who this Doraemon is).

Doraemon is awesome.

I would've picked Hello Kitty though.

I agree.  Hello Kitty is cuter.  (http://smileys.smilchat.net/smileys/bloody/pokemon2.gif)

I would think Pikachu is a little less gender-biased.

"Doraemon, I hope you will travel around the world as an anime ambassador to deepen people's understanding of Japan so they will become friends with Japan," Komura told the blue-and-white cat.

I think Japan is awesome.

Reading that line makes me think they want people to know that the Japanese people are EXACTLY like anime .

The only thing that could make this better is if his sash says "Bow to Japanese supremacy."

The Japanese are lucky they have stranglehold on many markets, because otherwise it would be impossible to take them seriously.

Imagine it bombing Pearl Harbor, commanding a concentration camp or death railway construction. (Nothing against the Japanese, any country has the potential to go wrong like that.)
