Didn’t realize the inane Sprint Framily is a deliberate rip-off of the Shirato family featured in a campaign for Japanese mobile phone company SoftBank. This is a clear example of how humor and concepts do not necessarily translate across cultures and continents. Of course, asking a culturally clueless White advertising agency from the U.S. to handle the foreign exchange is like letting the KKK reinterpret Nollywood movies. Oh, and it also demonstrates how ad shops will shamelessly prostitute themselves for billings.

It's not a rip off when SoftBank owns Sprint.
