    Something was “Lost in Translation.”

    Interesting how certain cultures interact. They buy Hollywood Hook, line and sinker and we get square watermelons.

    Ok. I get it. Japanese commercials are funny. They made a whole freakin’ movie about how odd Japan seems to “us” for crying out loud.

    Where are the Jack Nicholson sniffing used teen panties commercials and the Tom Cruise in the bukkake commercials?

    Moral to the story: When the power goes out, don’t let the cat drink whiskey. I don’t get it.

    Damn… Reeves is a lucky bastard. All my cat ever does is leave fresh headless mice on the doorstep for me to step on.

    It used to be that American celebrities could handsomely profit from a little crass commercialism in Japan without hurting their US artiste cred.

    I guess with YouTube, those days may be over.

    The Japanese are waaaay different. I have some wild thoughts and ideas and the Japanese media and culture still makes me scratch my head.

    I knew it! It’s all those Shiitake ‘shrooms they eat. They must build up a critical mass over time overwhelming cognitive functions.
