Japanese pretty boy piggy bank

On the FG forum, 2triky posted this seeming fake, Japanese TV commercial for Bandai’s “Ikemen Bank”(pretty-boy bank).

However, it turns out to be real product and it even has a movie version!(?)

For more details read, NipponCinema.com.

   Obviously the Pretty-Boy Piggy Bank itself and the movie trailer are real.
   However, I have never seen the TV commercial on air in Japan. The Japanese words that over-dub the Western actors sound typical of Japanese TV commercial scripts—But, Western actors saying such inane/crazy things is surreal (and the actress below is impossibly ugly for any TV commercial).
