Ashamed in America, but not in Japan

As I was looking for content I noticed some of the ads pertaining to Japanese goods had familiar faces on them. I looked harder and noticed that the people endorsing regular consumer level products were the "great theatrical stars"that we have here in America. Here is a list of our most dignified performers stooping to a level that they would be ashamed of, if people at home (Americans) found out. Here are our supposed progressive actors fighting against the "evils of capitalism" while reaping the benefits, a half a world away.
Catherine Zeta-Jones for Lux Super Rich Shampoo, Cameron Diaz for Aeon Language School, Nicholas Cage for Pachinko, Brad Pitt for both Roots canned coffee and jeans, George Clooney for Toyota, Naomi Campbell for Lipton Canned Tea.
Sometimes we may see an actor or two endorsing something small, but not on the overwhelming base that is in japan. Here the tale "out of site out of mind" reigns true. With the recent emergence of globalization and a more global knowledge nothing is really out of site anymore.
