I was googling and researching for a "cute" sidekick for my (urban fantasy pseudo-satire) Viking Dude heroine (demon slayer). Cute with a little bit of magic, I thought. Hmm. Shifter abilities? Okay, of course. Maybe give him an Asian background? Why not? Something embarassing about him to be revealed later? Oh yeah, that sounds like fun.
Muse was having a bit of fun with me.
Then I found the entry on the Japanese TANUKI, a rodent-dog shapeshifter with humongous balls. Cute and sidekickish, yes! So I googled some more, looking at pictures and already playing with plotlines and jokes.
Then I saw this Japanese commercial below, a KIDDIE commercial. Wait for the ending. Wow. I don't remember this in my version of Red Riding Hood ;-). You'd think the big bad wolf might have changed his menu after seeing that!
All she said was "Wow." Wow?!

There are many days when I wonder what kind of commercials would be created in America if there were no restrictions. . . I think I just got a glimpse of it.
That was weirdly amusing.
Deb,
Some of the overseas commercials are definitely sexier/more sexual. I've seen girl-on-girl in Euro commercials about soap!
