Every so often I gain new, refreshing evidence that the Japanese water supply is primarily composed of pure crack.

This commercial for example. (Quicktime, roughly 1.8MB, not quite work safe...)

*dot* *dot* *dot*

words defy me.

I'm curious - could someone translate? There are other ones too, scarily enough - just from visual context there seems to be a whole little story going on.

Tanuki

The last animal with the swinging balls is a tanuki. See wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanuki

ROTFLMAO

It's an ad for an engineering/contracting firm. ^^; Here's a (very) rough translation:

The Anabuki Contracting campaign girl is a well known good kid Anabukin-chan. [a terrible terrible pun on Akazukin-chan, which is what the Japanese call Little Red Riding Hood]
Oh, what's this? The animals of the forest have all gathered 'round! All together now, let's sing!
And a-one, and a-two, and.. Anabukin-chan! Yeees?
Our dreams, growing, swelling, let's seek them!
Our hopes, growing, swelling, let's seek them!
And our breasts also growing, swelling, growing, swelling... (wow!) let's seek them!

Some notes: the subtitles are the names of the characters (Rabbit the rabbit, Deer the deer, etc) followed by their ages.

...and upon further thought... WTF DO BOOBIES HAVE TO DO WITH CONTRACTING????

Boobies have about as much to do with contracting as frogs do with bad American beer. ^^

But if the ad gets people to go LOLWTF, it gets remembered, hopefully along with the name of the company, which seems to be the focus of advertising nowadays.

Wonder what they'll come up with this Sunday. Yes, I'm watching the Super Bowl. I think I may be drummed out of town if I don't watch the mother of all Steelers games ^^

heh, know what you mean, had to keep nominal tabs on the game the past couple of years when the Pats went. No real interest since they're not going this year. :P

still, the idea of you watching football is tremendously amusing. :)
