Arnold Can't Escape His Past...In Japan

The "Governator" is going to Japan. What most people don't know is that he made a lot of television commericals in Japan selling a variety of products. I've been to Japan & saw several of these commercials. These were some of the weirdest advertisements I've ever seen. Keep in mind that I've seen a lot of Japanese commercials & many of them are pretty weird. (If it helps, think of the "Mr. Sparkle" commercial from The Simpsons) The one I remember the most is where Arnold is trying to sell a vitamin drink by dressing up in a male kimono & singing in Japanese. Not a pretty sight. Here's a newspaper article talking about the ads & here's a website where you can actually see them. Enjoy. (Props to my friend Chris for emailing me the sites)
