A catch phrase will go here soon.

Not Lost in Translation: Japander.com

1/6/2004

I found this new site today which is really cool called Japander.com. Basically they have all the Japanese commercials with American Stars who are too good to do commercials here. Check out this really cool one of Tarantino fighting for the remote during a satellite TV ad. Or the one with Mike Tyson for Toyota trucks, and we’re not talking SUVs we’re talking like, trucks trucks you would use on a construction site. Very cool.

Which one do you like best?

Update: Hold everything the Madonna commercial where she is dressed as a samurai singing “How can Iiiiiiiiiii be pure” is the winner.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
