These two ads — one shark-related TV spot and an interactive Big Nose installation— are the craziest Japanese ads of the year, so far.
Gumi Guum (In honor of Shark Week)
Gumi Guum, you might have guessed, is a gum brand.
If somebody could please translate, that would be great, but I'm guessing that the shark is chewing on the man to get the taste from the man chewing on the Gumi Guum?

Gatsby body deodorant sheets

Only in Japan. If these were installed in America------->lawsuits.
