Don't blink! Watch this award winning commercial that took home the bronze at Cannes

by Chris MaGee

Couldn't resist posting this. Here's a commercial produced by Morinaga & Company Ltd., one of the largest and oldest candy companies in Japan. It follows a woman who's attempting to set a new world record for not blinking and not only is it funny, it's pretty damn creative, creative enough to have won the bronze for television ads at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

As an aside, I couldn't track down any world record for not blinking. Maybe this is my chance at fame and fortune...

Thanks to veteran blogger Mari Kanazawa over at Watashi to Tokyo for posting this and to the folks at Japan Probe for spreading the word.
