Because Japanese worship white people and are more likely to buy a product if it has a white person promoting it. Many Hollywood film stars are paid big bucks to fly over to Japan to film random TV ads.

It's not going to help reduce fat, but the potential for wanking seems promising...

I think his point was that racial identity is not the same as nationality.
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

It's rare to be a naturalized Japanese citizen, and even rarer to be a non-Asian naturalized Japanese citizen. In all probability, I am still correct. :P

When I was living and working there, I used to see infomercials for Japanese crap like this all the time. Usually, it seemed like the commercials were from some European country with Japanese dubbed over.

But yes, many advertisments also tend to have white or European women in them.

Sure it'll get rid of the fat. Just up the voltage and current to a few million and drop in the tub. Warning: may sting.
