Now there's a huge surprise. Means that everything will be at least twice as expensive as it should be.

Taxpayer money of course. What a crock!

Well, duh. Did any expect anything different when there's so much money to be made?

Dentsu will earn plenty of ad income from Japan Inc. to Japanese Govt. Not tax payers money. Every large corporation is lining up now. Nintendo, corporations Mitsui owns, Nissan, Mazda, Honda, etc. Not Bridgestone as it has to pay large fines to US Govt. So, expect jerseyboy;s prediction comes true.

Oh what a shock! Dentsu??? You don't say?? Is there actually any other large ad companies in this country??

Surprise surprise. And the shady "advisors" get their cut as well.

Dentsu... A single corporation owns 30% of the advertising shares.
