I went into Avatar expecting the movie to have a creepy appropriative racist subtext. I was not expecting it from the ads. (Warning, it's pretty obnoxious)
Wicked Energy drink ad
Rough description of relevant parts:
A white man drinks some Wicked energy drink, and a drop falls on a geisha tattoo.
She rips off her kimono to reveal leopard print underwear. Her dragon tattoo turns into a real dragon which she rides. She rides a surfboard with a samurai who is eaten by a koi. She dances exuberantly in contrast to some less scantily dressed 50's style sailor girls. A japanese demon kills a lotus flower with a fart. She pole dances and then makes out with a western style skull. The drink bottle comes up and an asian style dragon comes out before the slogan "bring out your wicked side".
This is all in one minute. How..efficient.
