I thought the asian dude was sitting of the other guy's cock.

I've always found it profoundly ironic that Janus is the name of an investment company. One myth is that Janus sees the past and the future, but wasn't he also the two-faced Roman God of Lies?

Care to provide any actual, fact based data pertaining to "how it actually works (or exploits)"?

I interpreted this as an investor investigating a motorcycle company with a hands on approach in the field... maybe because pretty much every investment commercial plays off that idea.

No, no, unpaid blogger, don't be a fool. Investment companies don't market themselves to potential customers; they're only trying to reach that elusive "confused Marxist" demographic.

Oh come on, Charles! This ad is clearly about how this investment company makes its money on the backs of the up-and-coming third world Asian countries like China! Hence the White Man being driven around by Asian Man.

Are you kidding me? That guy is clearly beating a hasty retreat. He's desperately trying not to get caught.

Not just you #1. I thought the "examine from the inside out" was leading to a sex joke.

@7, you beat my interpretation.

Having just been to Saigon two weeks ago for the third time I was impressed with the few international business travelers that had the guts to hop on the back of the primary mode of transportation - mopeds. Everywhere someone will take you around on the back of a moped for a mere dollar yet many business travelers choose taxis which move relatively slow around the city and add to the pollution. I am impressed with the ad. Now some would argue paying $1 for such a simple task is screwing with the inflation in Saigon since a health care worker in Hanoi makes about 60,000 Dong a day (about $4) but is it better to take a taxi for $5-$10!?

The white shirt/black tie/black slacks combo is a representation of greed. As seen when worn on mafiosi, investment bankers, k-street lobbyest types, oil execs...you know the sort, thugs who use intimidation and clout to exploit the rubes that are too afraid to embrace the Revolution, and wrest fashion back into its' rightful place, on the Masses!!

It does look like a hasty retreat, like #7 said, he's calling ahead to the embassy, trying to escape the angry mob that was infuriated by such a blatant display of imperialist wardrobe.

They're big risk takers, as depicted by the lack of helmets. These guys have a burning desire to be organ donors before they turn 25.
