Not Lost in Translation: Japander.com

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.
