GW Bush Campaign Ad Includes... Anime?

One of the current "negative ads" on the georgewbush.com website mentions the Japanese Yakuza while showing an anime style picture.

The ad states, "John Kerry says he's author of a strategy to win the war against terror -- against the Japanese Yakuza." It then goes on to attack Kerry by asking, "How can John Kerry win a war if he doesn't know the enemy?"

It's right before the "against the Japanese Yakuza" that a gong sound effect ushers in what appears to be a badly edited mix of several images, photoshopped together to represent a typical yakuza. The background image is a red-and-yellow rendition of Japan's wartime flag in the background.

Thanks to Verthandi for pointing this out.
