    I think we need Blue Tiger's input on this. 'Fire and brimstone' and 'the end of the world as we know it' most likely awaits this damned couple.

    And you're asking the readers of JT to disagree with the readers of JT about this topic?

    I have to sit down. My head is spinning!

    I guess I just find it odd that they show Gere in a scene from a very serious movie, as if to imply there is a connection between the subject matter and Dandy House.

    You have no argument with me there at all! I could just imagine control-freak directors…

    smartacus: Cross-promotion. The line between the actors and their movie personas is so closely connected (and probably blurred) for most people, so why not use it? Not saying that I approve of it, but it happens.

    In fact, a search of JT's archives using Google reveals this:

    Looking debonair with his silvery hair, Gere is also appearing on posters and in ads for men's esthetic company Dandy House.

    The connection between the movie and Dandy House—a chain of esthetic salons for men—remains unclear.

    Perhaps the connection is that Gere is the 'public face' of Dandy House. Nobody at JT has seen his advertisements for the company, I guess.

    Again, there's probably a lot more to this sad story than 'girl receives message then kills self.'

    Some info on the ecojet: http://press.jal.co.jp/en/release/200804/000907.html

    So the jet is not 'eco' per se but is promoting an 'eco' theme and promoting JAL's 'eco' moves. OK - I get the strategy now. [rolls eyes]

    I just read a Japanese language article about this launch. Grouchy Gaijin called this one. According to the article, "Hoshide and seven others will be taking Kibo to the ISS." No names except for Kibo, Hoshide, and the Ministry of Science.... etc

    Just like when they left Mary-Anne and the…
