Shiina Ringo sells us gum; does moonwalk
by Tim Sheehy, 11/17/2009
Shiina Ringo sells us gum; does moonwalk photo

With Michael Jackson's This Is It taking in nearly $200 million world-wide, it's no surprise to me that people are continuing to pay homage to the man, despite his odd behavior in recent years. Japan was no exception, having contributed roughly $27.2 million to that total alone.

Riding on the apparent popularity of his death, Shiina Ringo recently starred in an ad for Watering Kissmint gum where she actually moonwalks. Really, Japan? Maybe it's just me--and don't get me wrong, his early death was kind of a tragedy--but I'm getting tired of seeing, or hearing about him. I get that he impacted so many lives, but at some point, the fad has to stop. At the very least, please try to hold off on moonwalking for a year or two, it's gotten annoying.

See the commercial after the jump.

The gum is good, but I would still buy it even if it wasn't. Because Shiina Ringo.

Also, Shiina Ringo.

I'll have to add to the "It's Shiina Ringo, so it's awesome!" sentiment. If the company had picked anyone else to do this CM I might be a little iffy on it. However, Shiina Ringo wears ridiculous flower hats while singing about double suicide, and completely sells it. I'd like to see more of her, doing anything.

Ok Tim Sheehy, are you also tired of hearing about Elvis and the dead members of The Beatles? Add any other famous dead person to that list. It doesn't really bother me when people continue to carry a torch for someone's memory, as long as they don't act like the person is God.

Just add me to the 'But it's Shiina Ringo!' list.
