Before I left for Australia I had heard of this great site called Japander . This site has a collection of advertisments that star American celebs. They are hilarious.
Little did I know, this is also common practice in Australia. When I first got here I saw an ad for a fruit juice staring an actor from "The Bold and the Beautiful" (kudos to loz for the link, and getting me started on this post). Then, it was Ben Affleck trying to sell "Lynx" body spray.
The best would have to be Kim Cattrall having orgasms driving a "Nissan Tilda" hatchback. As if Cattrall would drive a nissan!
So there ya go, doing stupid ad's is not just restricted to Japan!

Mena Suvari also advertised a Continental sauce of some kind. That was pretty funny.
These are insane. How do these ads get out with out anyone in America knowing about it? They must supplement their income or something. Craziness.
The one's with Keiffer were funny. Also Lucy Liu.
When the celebs do these ads, there are contracts signed that the ads can never be shown in the states.
With the internet the contracts have become pretty useless though.
People who have done full series of ads (like brad pitt for jeans) apparently makes mad coin.
Oh, but it's all about the art though, isn't it? Or so they'd have you believe, whilst they are traveling abroad to make some cash by pimping out some product in secret. Sheesh.
Jaded- So true, and I love your use of the word "whilst"
Courtney- Go home and take care of Francis! Try not to have intercourse on your way there either.
Jaded - No matter how you feel about it, Acting is still a job.
I think the only people that take integrity or "the artform" into consideration are the poor ones.
That being said, if I were a famous actor you would see my face on everything, cause I likes getting paid.
So, why doesn't Russel Crow do ads over here? Shouldn't it be some sort of exchange program? On that note, though, they can keep Affleck and we'll still owe them one.
i would totally pimp myself out for certain products.
do they have tv ads for tofutti cuties? sliced pepperoni?
i would definately do diet coke. and probably ketchup.
they are the elixirs of my life.
Where's my damn present?
Oh my god, can you imagine how terrible Ben Affleck would smell with that much cologne? Barforama!
I've never imagined how Ben Affleck smelled until now. Thanks, Pants. I almost typed Pabst. Sorry.
