Hey all. I just wanted to put up a quick post to let you know I'm still alive. The podcast should be returning soon, but here's a little something to watch in the interim. A year or so ago I downloaded a torrent consisting of nothing but various Japanese television commercials. I've been rather intrigued by these so I thought I'd post up some of my favorites. Formatted for your iPod so you can waste time at school, work, or your next proctologist exam.

This has to be the manliest instant ramen noodle commercial ever. I think it could only get manlier if Kenshiro from Fist Of The North Star would team up with Nissin to create a even manlier version. But I'm afraid that will never happen.

Speaking of manly men, if your needing a Aaron fix you can listen to me on episode #115 of Most People Are DJs. I'm not talking about anime though. Instead I chat with Mikel OD about a Henry Rollins spoken word show I attended. If they ever made a live action version of Fist Of The North Star, I sure hope they would cast Rollins as Kenshiro.

Enjoy the commercial, and let me know if your interested in seeing more of this sort of thing.

Aaron
