That illustration is approaching "blackface" territory in my opinion. Not offended, but pretty bottom of the barrel stuff. But then again, somebody at honda approved it.
 
I think it's funny.This world is too politically correct sometimes.
 
Frankly, I think that illustration should've been left off the helmet not because it will offend people but I think it would've looked more badass without it.

I've said it before, I could see how some people would be offended over this....but meh, i'm asian and I could care less

The Japs probably have a good sense of humor
 
Whenever he is smiling (which is modt of the time), I am reminded of the joker!
Oh and this is a pr nightmare.

Walk into your place of work like that and see what happens!
 
When I see that I think he's saying something like "when in japan we're all Japanese" or "we're all the same". I don't see it as making fun.
 
Thumbs up. Too often, people are offended on behalf of others. Ridiculous. Aoyama should have one where he's making his eyes round!
 
I'm seriously conflicted by this. No drinking to-nite I guess. This matter requires sober reflection.

Edit: Ok, I've given this a lot of thought. I think it's acceptable, but just. If he'd made buck teeth and jerking off motions that would have crossed the line.

Nay. It's just stupid, looks silly. People are too easily offended, but I think something like this is poor taste. It's pretty obvious this would rub people the wrong way (Google "Spanish Basketball 2008"), but they did it anyway.
 
I just get a weird vibe from MM. Sadly, I don't think he is going to be around for long with his style of racing.
 
He seems to blissfully ignorantly ovbliously smile through a lot of offences he causes. Either he is dumb as **** or he knows exactly what he is doing! Getting back at Honda team management for the screw up in Australia? Hmmmmmm
