22:03 (JST)Tommy Lee Jones is Boss in Japan

Well it seems Tommy Lee Jones did a series of Japanese television commercials to promote some canned coffee called Boss. Sounds pretty gross. Anyway these are really funny to me, really just hearing him speak Japanese. I imagine I’ll probably sound a lot like that only far less elegant and compensated! There are 18 total videos here, enjoy!

#1 – It’s Tommy Lee Jones. Eating some tasty ramen. Now time to drink Boss.

03:03 (JST)I Can Has Giant Gundam?

SUGOI! KORE WA KAKKOII DESU!! Apparently just 45 minutes outside of Tokyo by bullet train there is an 18-meter (59-foot) tall 1:1 replica Gundam RX-78-2 Mech statue built for the company’s 30th anniversary at Shiokaze Park, complete with smoke, dramatic lighting effects, and animatronic head. I really really really hope to get to see this. If I do, believe me you will too! There’s a video and more pics after the jump. Can we say newest wonder of the world?!

22:03 (JST)English as a Second Fucking Language

I love the Japanese (as well as many other Asian cultures) and their strange usage of our word “Fuck” which over here carries a heavy weight but to them it has barely any connection with the concepts to which we associate it. It’s just something that amuses me. More pics after the jump…

Turns out it’s NOT that difficult for a man to get laid in Japan. Who knew?
