Finally, a Japanese Ad That’s Both Surprising and Surprisingly Awesome

Japanese ads, as a rule, are hard to predict. But while most of them just seem odd for the sake of being odd, this commercial has a twist anyone can enjoy.

Since there's not a lot to it, I won't reveal much, except to say it was all reportedly done without CG thanks to the real skills of 22-year-old actress Rina Takeda. Once you've watched the ad below, you can see more of her in this movie clip.

The ad is for a credit card, and according to YouTube commenters who speak the language, the narrator says something along the lines of, "Depends on how you use your head; depends on how you use your card."

Hat tip to Reddit, where it blew up in the form of an animated GIF.


    



MasterCard Is still Top Global Credit Card

301thmWe all know that people hate credit cards, particularly when the time comes you have to pay up. But regardless, it seems many people are using them and getting them as long as they can pass the usual credit investigation prior to be approved a card. And among the credit cards in use today, MasterCard came out as the top card globally, adding another feather to its cap.

MasterCard Worldwide has been named the “Best Corporate Cards and Expense Services Provider” by Global Finance magazine for the third consecutive year. The award was bestowed to MasterCard for innovative solutions that enable value and efficiency in commercial payments. MasterCard was selected by the publication’s editors who incorporate input from industry analysts, corporate executives and technology experts in determining the award’s recipient. The results of the exclusive survey are published in the March 2009 issue of the magazine.

Visa Going Bananas with Catherine Zeta-Jones

Visa has been known to be aggressive as far as creating commercials is concerned and apparently all it needs is a mixture of one fine actress in the mold of Catherine Zeta-Jones to spearhead this commercial.

Visa is known all throughout the world and apparently there are not stops on where it can be used. With that in mind, it should not be surprising why most people prefer to use Visa in the way it should be and obviously for anyone at any time.

But what if worst comes to worst when even wise monkeys will really know the real worth of the Visa Credit Card?
