Tuesday Time Waster
I was recently reminded of Japander.com when I saw something from it on WWTDD. Japander is a website that features Japanese commercials starring American actors. As anyone who’s seen Lost in Translation probably knows, American movie stars often do commercials in Japan for obscene amounts of money, knowing full well that the ads will likely never be seen in America. They can then keep their artistic credibility here, while still making assloads of money for a few days work.
This site has been around for a few years and I’m not sure if they have any new footage, but the older stuff is certainly worth watching. Particularly Harrison Ford’s beer commercials.
