One Lump?

Lots of US and UK celebrities make commercials for the Japanese market, knowing that there's little chance of the advert being seen in their home country (see 'Lost In Translation' for example - there must be a reason for watching it, after all).

If they thought they could get away with it you'd probably see Sean Connery advertising Japanese whiskey (hey - he's done that already) and Adam Sandler endorsing those schoolgirls' knickers you can buy in a can from a vending machine (it should be pointed out that Adam Sandler has NEVER done this already).

 

Here comes Brad Pitt, obviously short of a bob or two and flogging a caffeine-heavy drink in a frankly mystifying advert. What is the target market for this product? Who would watch this advert and think 'Hey, this stuff makes me shoot about on an office chair, put a bin on my head and sniff my armpits - where can I buy it?' And anyway, three large bags of Haribo Star Mix have much the same effect and work out cheaper.

 

Anyway, here's Brad whoring himself for a few more greasy pennies. What DOES she see in him?
