Subject: using English pseudo-haiku to criticize Mitsubishi

(1)
i've read the English pseudo-haiku poems in that collection.
i believe that using pseudo-haiku is an EXTREMELY INEFFECTIVE
way of criticizing Mitsubishi.  i can learn almost nothing about
what objectionable things Mitsubishi is doing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

English pseudo-haiku poems are mainly done by American school
children.  it's a good device for teaching of counting the
number of syllables, etc.  by itself it is not at all objectionable.

using pseudo-haiku for Mitsubishi is like collecting a list of
pseudo-Confucian sayings for criticizing China (PRC).

--- Confucius say, "Don't practice missile-throwing near other
	people's houses." --- John Dole, Beijing.

--- Confucius say, "Chinese people should be nice to other
	Chinese people." --- Jane Buchanan, Shandong.

--- etc.

i hope everyone sees that this would be an inappropriate method
of protesting China's recent actions.

if they continue to focus on this superficial understanding of
Japanese culture by using pseudo-haiku for Mitsubishi, i request
that they do comparable things for US and French companies.

for PepsiCo, use rap music and speech style.

for Texaco, use country & western music and speech style.

for Total, use the French tradition of womanizing, keeping
	mistresses, or eating snails.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
if Mitsubishi is to be criticized, it should be done fairly;
focusing on and ridiculing Mitsubishi's Japaneseness is bad
strategy.
