Brad Pitt Pushes Citroen 2CV In Surreal Japanese Cell Phone Ad [Ad Watch]

What do you get when you cross Brad Pitt, a Citroen 2CV, Wes Anderson and a topless young woman? A Japanese advertisement.

We all know Western actors are big in Japan, but who knew the twee style of Wes Anderson coupled with the acting prowess of Brad Pitt would help them move cell phones for Japanese telecom company SoftBank. Who cares? We already love "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" and we appreciate the realistic portrayal of Peugeot French quality. [Defamer]

Jones Big ASS Truck Rental and Storage [Novelties]

As the story goes, Toby Jones is an enterprising young rapper who managed to buy a junked-out warehouse somewhere on the south side of Chicago for a dollar and now he's willing to store your junk for unheard of prices! Have you got a clapped-out Firebird cluttering your driveway? Are you in need of bus or elephant storage space? Would you like to take advantage of a drunken businessman's genius marketing plan? At Jones' Big ASS Truck Rental and Storage, do all this and more!

We called the advertised number, and an answering machine picked up with Toby on the recording. Now that doesn't mean it's fer reals, but it does mean Toby's comedy troupe, Big Dog Eat Child, really went the distance to make it believable. With advertising like this we hope Toby Jones, Owner/Driver/Junk Specialist, is up to his elbows in Other Peoples Pitchings in no time. [Jones' Big ASS Truck Rental and Storage, Big Dog Eat Child]

President-Elect Barack Obama Is Detroit's Personal Jesus, Plans To Help Not-So-Big Three [Industry News]

It looks like it was a good thing Michigan delivered up the electoral votes to help elect Barack Obama, because he's just made saving the auto industry part two of a three-part plan to address the nation's economic woes. In his first press conference today as President-elect, Obama whipped Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm out on stage, telling the world he hopes to approve the $25 billion in assistance for retooling. In addition, Detroit's new diety claimed he plans to make additional policy options to help U.S. automakers create fuel-efficient cars a "high priority" for the transition team.

That's good news for Detroit given today's bad...err... awful... news. Although after Wagoner's remarks earlier, we're hoping there will be an industry to save after he's inaugurated. Full remarks from Detroit's personal Jesus below:

The news coming out of the auto industry this week reminds us of the hardship it faces – hardship that goes far beyond individual auto companies to the countless suppliers, small businesses and communities throughout our nation who depend on a vibrant American auto industry. The auto industry is the backbone of American manufacturing and a critical part of our attempt to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. I would like to see the Administration do everything they can to accelerate the retooling assistance that Congress has already enacted. In addition, I have made it a high priority for my transition team to work on additional policy options to help the auto industry adjust, weather the financial crisis, and succeed in producing fuel-efficient cars here in the United States. I have asked my team to explore what we can do under current law and whether additional legislation will be needed for this purpose.

Preach it.
