Funny Japanese commercials to beat the January blahs

by Chris MaGee

They say that mid-January is the gloomiest, most depressing time of the year. We're all buried up to our ears in debt from the holidays, the weather is miserable (at least for those of us in Canada) and it's still a good few months before we can bust out the shorts and sun block. Add to that the abyssmal state of the economy and things are pretty bleak, so as a way to give all of you a few well-deserved laughs the Toronto J-Film Pow-Wow presents some pretty hilarious Japanese commercials. Have a great weekend!
