ミス・サイゴン
The American scholar Wong Yutian described "Miss Saigon" as promoting the image of "...an effeminzed and infantized Asia serving as a low-budget whorehouse for the West". The fact that the Vietnam war impoverished many Vietnamese people, and forced many women to turn to prostitution in order to survive is not mentioned in "Miss Saigon", and establishments such as the fictional Dreamland brothel are portrayed as the norm in Vietnam. In 1999, when "Miss Saigon" was closing in London, a new advertising campaign was launched on the Tube featuring posters reading "You'll miss Saigon" that showed an Asian woman wearing a military jacket that barely covered her breasts, which Wong felt sent the message that "Asia equals prostitution"..
