Tornadoes and Karasu-kun- Small apology is due here- since I changed the post a bit after you guys commented, so now your comments just look kind of mean in a vacuum. Originally I opened the articles with some comments about how I didn’t like Sarah Jessica Parker but didn’t really know why. Then I changed it to be a bit less negative. So, uh. Insipid though Karasu- yeah, I feel that too.

Emily- Really, it was available everywhere? Good spot. I had no idea- did some web research and didn’t find any record of it on other blogs, and don’t recall seeing it anywhere- but thanks for seting the record straight Japanese men watching SaTC? Hmm- I see your point- but wouldn’t that just make them more girly than they are right now? They ought to be watching something about the modern man, no?

What show is there like that? Hmm. Dexter? Maybe not…

Ope! I have to say, I love SJP. And I love SATC. Typical American 30-something single woman, though, I guess, in that respect. But I’ve liked SJP since she was a Square Peg and the girl with real boobs in LA Story. She’s one of those women who is sometimes gorgeous and other times horsey; and I think that’s part of her appeal. She’s not beautiful in the American Supermodel sense of the word. And, she’s like 5 feet tall. Teeny, weeny little person. A true New Yorker.

You say they flew her here to be on a can. I have a feeling they may not have told her 100% of the story before they got her here. Or, her manager didn’t explain it well to her. She may have thought she was promoting the movie and Coke; but might not have realized “and my face will be on the cans!”

And, sorry, Mike, but those were on sale all over. I commented on how SJP was on the coke cans at our commissary on base. So, they even made it into the American realm here in Japan. I didn’t buy one, though, as I don’t drink sodas. I was also curious if it was just Diet Coke or what.

It’s true- especially 20-something single Japanese women LOVE SATC. Those characters are role models for them. It’s the Japanese men, though, that need to be watching it. And like American men, many of them just don’t get it. Which explains a lot. (Of course, the American straight men who DO get it, aren’t apt to admit that in mixed company. )

Renee Zellweiger, though? Total bitch.

To paraphrase Family Guy: “They let Sarah Jessica Parker on TV and her face looks like a foot!” I just find her and the rest of the actresses like her insipid, Debra Messing, too.

I agree with you. Sarah Jessica Parker is odd and annoying. I never liked her much. I feel the same way about Renee Zellweger.
