It’s interesting that an image of Kumamon is no good but that commercial advertisements, such as for Hakutake (a brand of shochu), are still OK. By the way, I checked the new uniforms and, yup, Kumamon is gone but Hakutake is still there.

So, let me get this straight – advertisements for an area in Japan are no good because they’re “political” but advertisements for a strong form of alcohol that young sports fans are not allowed to drink and that can cause fatal accidents if adult fans consume before driving are just fine because they’re not political. Hmmmm.
