Korean pizza chain “Mr. Pizza” created a mockumentary about the “True Origins of Pizza”. From Brooklyn to Seoul, Gum Shoe Pictures left no stone unturned as they searched for an answer to the age-old question — Was pizza really invented in Korea? The video offers a compelling argument about how Marco Polo stole pizza from Korea. Pretty funny and bizarre stuff from the CEO of Mr. Pizza, Woo-Hyun Jung.

One of Ikea’s latest commercials “Cabinet Doors” features Russell Wong. He and his on-screen wife go shopping at Ikea to design their own kitchen. His wife’s approach is to throw a party and entertain friends with Russell as a waiter. On the other hand, Russell Wong wants to romance his wife with food by carving a rose out of a turnip. Ultimately, the couple designs their kitchen together.

Actor/martial arts entertainer Jackie Chan is in a pair of new commercials for V8. (This should quell those Jackie Chan is dead rumors.) The advertisements feature Jackie Chan swooping into everyday life scenarios using his amazing athletic abilities – and his energetic charm – to switch an unsuspecting person’s drink to a veggie-powered V8 beverage.
The first is entitled “Balcony”. He slides down a pole from and replaces a lady’s cranberry juice with V8 vegetable juice. His quick tablecloth pull flings the bottle of cranberry juice and introduces the drink veggie style. After his drink switch up, Jackie Chan scurries up the pole from whence he came.
In the second one entitled “Sidewalk”, Jackie Chan bounces off an awning and uses his martial arts choreography skills to grab a baby stroller, whack away a “bad” smoothie, replace it with a healthy V8 smoothie, and return the baby stroller in one fluid action. He even puts a straw in the drink. His choice of exit for this commercial is grabbing onto a passing truck.
Expect these V8 commercials to run from October to December. If the campaign is successful, you’ll see Jackie Chan in 3 new spots launching new V8 drinks.

We’ve been seeing the Asian American Fisher Price commercial for Kid-Tough See Yourself Camera airing on TV. It features the kids from an Asian American family playing with the the digital camera taking still photos and videos, even adding effect to the photos. There’s also a swivel lens on it to take pictures of yourself. Since kids are prone to be rough with their toy, the camera is built tough to withstand drops on the floor and down the stairs.
Creating a “self-portrait” is a whole lot easier when you can see yourself! So this camera is designed to take the guesswork out of picture-taking, whether it’s you or a friend, stills or video. The rotating lens swivels from front to back so even preschool photographers can see just what they’re shooting. Download stampers and special effects to add to the fun!
You can get this camera here.
