Talk Nerdy to Me
Although the film "Lost In Translation" is a work of fiction, Bill Murray's character in the movie is based on reality. For years, big-name actors have taken their talents to Japan (and other countries) to star in commercials and cash lucrative paychecks. You probably haven't seen many of these ads, so David Daw has pulled together some of the more interesting ones. Read "10 Weirdest Celebrity Tech Ads" and watch stars such as Andy Warhol, Nicolas Cage, Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt, and Chuck Norris hawk everything from VHS tapes to pachinko games. And for relaxing times, make it Suntory time.
