How many times have you seen something from Japanese TV or other media and thought "WTF?" There's SOMETHING going on there, but damn if I know what.

Post your favorite examples!

Translation:

(Anabukin is a company that sells "Surpass Condominiums." Akazukin is Little-Red Riding Hood. Puns are essential to Japanese advertising.)

Announcer: "Anabukin's campaign girl is Anabukin, who you all know well. (Subtitle: Anabukin, age 10). Oh, the forest animals are here too. Let's all call her with energy..."

"Anabukin!"

"Yes!"

Song: Surpass Condos inflate your dreams. Surpass Condos inflate your expectations. Breasts also inflate, inflate, inflate....

"Wow"

(The last animal is a badger. Traditionally in Japan, badgers have giant testicles. Not quite that big though.)
