Mar 19, 2008 - Indeed one of the best shows. While Dad's Army was more conventional (in a sense), IAHHM was over the top with their characters. Ah, nostalgia. I wonder what's the hold up for NOT releasing the DVDs of the last 3 seasons. We've been waiting...

Apr 29, 2008 - This is idiotic. You could see this image of Japanese soldiers on American & Aussie war posters during WWII. In the USA, Britain, & Australia, they still try to promote an unattractive racist image of Japanese men. The Japanese should make posters today with obese, fugly White men to represent the Americans, Brits, & Aussies, which are all listed among the top 10 FATTEST developed nations on earth.

May 15, 2008 - woooh, cool down. cool down. nice comments though. war always brings out the worst in humanity, anything that wants to differentiate the US and THEM. unfortunately, it is the most effective way to will people towards a common goal and keep united. i think the world would only unite as one human race against invading space aliens. haha. by the way, i'm asian and japanese. but i found this clip hilarious.
