Hollywood star quietly compromises artistic integrity

Hollywood actors pretend to have integrity by turning down adverts in their native America, only to sneak off to Japan to make a shit-load of Yen by starring in ads that their agent swears won’t be seen outside of Japan. If you’ve seen Lost In Translation, you know how this works.

In this recent example of shilldom, Brad Pitt sells SoftBank mobile phones by push-starting a Citroen 2CV. Kerching!
