I just saw this Heineken commerial on TV. It starts w/ two Japanese guys dressed up like 'gangstas' talking to each other in Japanese (didn't catch all of it) . They go up to the cooler and grab 2 40 ounces and the one guy says "That's hot." Then in the background they see a black guy walk up to the cooler and grab some Heiniken while he's talking on the phone. He checks out a girl that walks by and says "Yeah, it's hot up here. For real real."
The next scene, the two Japanese guys are buying some Heineken and when the one says "for real" on the phone, the other corrects him "for real real."
I know I just butchered the story, but it cracked me up when I saw it. Someone needs to capture it. I wish I could.
EDIT: Well, if anyone's interested, I 'captured' it using my DVR and a digital camera. lol

I wasn't going so much for the resemblance as his ranting about what MTV does to Japanese kids.

I saw that commercial and it cracked me up equally. It's one those 'It's-funny-'cause-it's-true' situations. I love it. :D

Yeah. The guy who came up w/ it had to have lived in Japan... Who else would come up w/ something like that?

I just saw it and came here right away, I was going to post a topic but good thing I searched to see if it had been done. Good job capturing it. Maybe Az is moonlighting as a writer for comercials.

Is it really all about the beer? Or is it all about the black man? ;)

It's about the afro-amer cultural domination as of late over most socio-cultural paradigms, and they manner in which the effects of urban black, often "ghetto," societies represents themselves (which in turn gets dilluted and passed out to "the world" vis-a-vis advertising, music, representations on tv, etc -basically media-) using loacalized colloquialisms and other such terminalized vernacular.
A literary pile of crap, courtesy of me.

No, no. I understood everything.
It's just so funny, appropriation of classicaly oppressed cultures become "popular" with rarely ever benefiting the people who created it. Basically, the dominant class still reigns and doesn't take this seriously. Unless they want to make money on it.
