If you haven’t yet had enough of those wacky Japanese commercials — and really, who could ever have enough Japanese commercials? — check out the Top 20 Japanese ads as compiled by High T3ch Magazine. (Actually, the compiler acknowledges that only 12 of the 20 are from Japan, but they’re all Asian, at least…) Our old buddy Sparkly Ah-nald is there, as is a very amusing appearance from the Dark Lord of the Sith and a version of Ronald McDonald that actually makes me want to eat at McCrappy’s. But the really notable clip comes in at number three; it’s a Korean ad built around making you think you’re seeing something you’re not actually seeing, but depending on your constitution (or your employer’s Internet policy), you may still find it somewhat, um, well, embarassing, if not downright offensive. It’s a fine piece of visual innuendo. Enjoy!
