J TV commercial for SEGA's recently released meganekko heavy game, Bayonetta, which uses the interesting positioning statement of "non-stop climax action"

They're all good but his Morgan Freeman impression (starts at 1:17) is amazing.

The Arnold one was good, but that Morgan Freeman impression was outstanding. Thanks SJ

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

I second AO...that guy was amazing.

[Samurai_Jerk]

Seriously, find a video of Morgan Freeman talking and play it and then listen to to this guy. There's really no difference.

I think someone posted this before, but here's him doing a more believable Arnold crank calling George Takei on Stern.

Cool. I've been to places cannibals hang out..

This might have been brought up with Japan's best loved murderer, but a friend's employer won't use the Sagawa delivery service because of 'questionable connections'. Is it because of the cannibal? I'd assumed it was because of the Yaks..

No, the cannibal has nothing to do with the delivery service, which I think is just inherently corrupt rather than being mob-linked (but what major Japanese corporation doesn't have at least some connection with the mob, even if only to buy their silly products at outrageously inflated prices just to keep them off their back?)

A rookie secret agent is faced with a problem seldom covered in basic training: what to do when a curious pigeon gets trapped inside your multi-million dollar, government-issued nuclear briefcase.

Hair, it was also quite popular in the not-so-distant past for a company rep (for deniability, never the President) to wine and dine the local Oyabun when the company was having labor strikes, or problems. He would mention this little difficulty to the Oyabun during the evening and the next day the fellows would show up on site and "politely" convince any strikers or labor relations people of their errant ways.

..sign spinner via SFweekly..

In the world of mind-numbingly boring jobs, swinging a sign to advertise mattress sales or open houses along Bay Area roadways ranks pretty high. The sign dudes usually look completely dejected, drugged, or like they're desperately trying to pretend they're somewhere else. Who wouldn't?

So as I walked down Fourth Street by Moscone Center this morning, you can imagine my excitement to see this dude, who had taken his sign job to a higher realm -- a freakin' signage samurai. Talk about flair! We weren't alone in our amazement. Motorists waiting at the stoplight took him in with their mouths hanging open; commuters passing with iPod buds in their ears smiled at the completely unexpected skills of this maven. Spinning the sign like a basketball on his finger, slashing it around him back like a mad baton twirler, stopping it in mid-air to head-bang for a bit.

Taking his headphones off to talk with us for a second, the sign samurai handed us a card out of his wallet: "Matthew Kermode -- AArrow Sign Spinner, Spinstructor." (Yes, "AArrow.") He said he's been doing this for 10 years now, translating his martial arts work to a more marketable skill. Kermode mostly works in the East Bay for the Martinez-based AArrow, spinning signs for housing developers. As far as who today's client Jigsaw is, "I'm not 100-percent sure."

Kermode tried to be modest, saying he's not the most talented spinner in the company. "We have a team of 15 guys right now and they all have talent. Different degrees of skill, but they all have talent." He couldn't have gotten the title "Spinstructor" for nothing.

What music inspires the spin samurai's frenzy? "Mostly rock. Right now, Tenacious D. A lot of the guys listen to techno, but I'm a rocker."

I'd heard she actually had real talent but I had some pretty big doubts... Too bad she had to freakify herself to get noticed.

I'm sure she feels bad about it every time another million gets deposited in her bank account.

Great anime remix of Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me by the incomparable T.I.S.M., purveyors of such classic tunes as Defecate On My Face (about Hitler's rise to power being the result of Eva dropping the kids off on his face) and I Might Be A Cunt, But I'm Not A Fucking Cunt.

Japan's 4 most popular YouTube stars of all time
Besides all the licensed corporate content on YouTube, the site's Japanese users appear to love Japanese-speaking foreigners, cats and -- surprise! -- porn stars

In Japan, YouTube has always been a place for illegally uploading broadcast TV and clips from old video tapes. That doesn't mean, however, that the site's Japanese users don't appreciate the kind of stars who are born on the internet rather than implanted there as cross promotion.

To get a sense of the kind of YouTube star that Japanese net users like best, we looked at the most highly-watched channels of all time in the Japanese region. Here are the four personalities who stood out.

I highlighted the word "porn stars" for easy reference for those who like such things.
