Michael sent me this nice HONDA ad. See? Foreign ads are much better than Japanese ones. Anyways, thank you Michael!
I like this post "Top 5 reason why Japan is certifiably insane" of MANCOUCH.
1) Japanese Game Shows: Some said that they like Takeshi’s Castle. It was an old TV show with Takeshi Kitano. You can watch it on YouTube. I like this "can't laugh” series:
2) The Poop Obsession: Yes, I check Yahoo Shopping and there are over 2,000 poop items. The craziest ones are this hairpin and this funny pointing tool.
3) Tentacle Rape Monsters: I hate this. Yes, we are crazy.
4) Robots: I am a robot lover! So what? Ah! I found another great news item about ASIMO! ASIMO will move by your IMAGINING! Not moving!!! (web translation). If I found this news on April Fools’ Day, I would’ve thought it was just a joke. But this is true!
5) American Stars in Japanese Commercials: I wrote about this a long time ago, I guess some links still work.
I enjoyed reading the comments. I like this one: "the japanese dont need a reason for being insane. they're the japanese!" Yes, we are!
They are all great! This one would be a doll of "Innocence". A few days ago, I found this LEGO DS and was very impressed. And in Japan, a guy spent 6 years to complete "Battle Ship Yamato" and he uploaded a movie of it on YouTube today. You can see the detail there. Wow...great.

I laughed to read this post. (BAD web translation). It's about Google. Google search is much better than Yahoo. :-p Their search reacts to people's search words quickly and accurately. But sometimes their suggestions make you laugh, right? Go to Google and type "oh," hmm, why is "oh the places you'll go" so hot? With "are",

I love Takeshi's Castle! It aired in my country when I was young. Back then I thought, "Wow. The Japanese sure are crazy!" which is still true to this day.
Did anyone ever manage to win in Takeshi's Castle?

Speaking of American stars in Japanese commercials, this morning I saw a video collection of actor Nicholas Cage in pachinko commercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYkw-5htPw0
It's so odd to hear him shout that he loves pachinko. Most Americans don't even know what that is. I wonder how many Americans have even tried to play pachinko when they visit Japan. (Personally, I don't see the appeal.)
