I’m sitting here watching The Princess Blade on the anime channel. Commercial break, I dash upstairs to grab something and come back down in the middle of what I thought was a advertisement for another show.

It’s anime. A woman sort of glides in (flying under her own power) and a man is saying something about them needed to be accepted for the world to be at peace.

She replies: “Peace. It’s amazing how beautiful this world can be when it is at peace.” Pan over a green field with snow-capped mountains in the background.

To which he responds: “And how ugly it can be when it’s at war” (more or less). Pan right to a bombed out city, with a sky full of smoke, etc.

Then cut to.. the UN logo.. it was a commercial for the United Nations.

Cool, but VERY surreal too!
