American company cures Thailand of fear of ghosts

Ghosts are everywhere in Thailand, but thanks to the Sylvania corporation making its light bulbs available to the Thai people, the ghosts are simply no longer scary. The village they used to film the commercial in looks exactly like my own village in Thailand. YouTube – Thanks, Tim!

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

Ha! Brilliant! I love how there is every type of ghost being pointed out and then…the transvestite.

I love ads from Asia they always have a clever joke in them.

“I love ads from Asia they always have a clever joke in them.”

I think it’s more of nobody bothers subbing the majority of them which probably suck.

The commercial won a Gold prize at this year’s Cannes Lions Awards.
