THE FUNNY SITE OF THE DAY -- This advertising showcase collects the television commercials of big name English-speaking celebrities hawking products in the faraway land of the sun, away from the critical eyes of their snooty business associates and fans. Japander offers additional definitions of the practice: ''Japander:n.,& v.t. 1. a western star who uses his or her fame to make large sums of money in a short time by advertising products in Japan that they would probably never use. ~er (see synecure, prostitute) 2. to make an ass of oneself in Japanese media.''
