Aliens are about to kidnap Nicolas Cage If you thought that Japanese ad with Hulk Hogan was proof you fell down the rabbit hole, this Nicolas Cage ad will make you think you finally hit Wonderland. It’s bad enough seeing the guy who played Ghost Rider ham it up as a cowboy (which is how a lot of other countries picture Americans anyway), but then the alien from The Day the Earth Stood Still shows up with his friends for a jamboree, and any shred of meaning is lost. And to top it all off, I’m still not entirely sure what Sankyo is. Anyone care to explain? —Posted by David Kiefaber

He should not allowed back into the country after that. But...I wouldn't mind taking home a sexy Japanese girl in one of those costumes. Would you?

Sankyo (http://www.sankyo-fever.co.jp (no English, sorry) makes pachinko and pachinko slot machines and they claim to "bring joy to people through pachinko." I'm pretty sure the aliens were supposed to represent pachinko balls. Not sure what Nicolas Cage was supposed to represent, though.
