I'd like to add that I think Apple did a decent job casting it (I believe it's a comedy duo called Rahmens? So sayeth the Digg).

The reasons the commercials are so different in Japan are tied up in a lot of subtle and hard-to-explain elements of Japanese culture. IA tries to delve into them and does a decent job in my pasty honky-assed opinion. Well worth the read.

About the Japanese one, maybe I was reading into it, but they were spewing more dobule entendres than David Cross on Arrested Development.

But that doesn't mean that I don't like the US casting better...
