I Remember the Year Japanese Men Were Carrying Chihuahuas

This blog post is in answer to a humorous tweet from @pbpartygirl Suzy McCoppin: “I’m sick of pretending I like chihuahuas”

It was because of the commercial series by money lender AIFUL that featured a caring father holding a chihuahua called Ku-chan in his arms. The point of the ad was that AIFUL was a source for cash when suddenly needed, such as to get a dog for your daughter who has spotted one with soulful eyes in a pet shop cage.

This is the first ad of what became a very successful advertising series.

This is an example of using a Posterous blog post as a Twitter extension. There was not enough room to tweet my answer to Suzy’s tweet, so I tweeted this post an answer to Suzy.
