Nakata in Calvin Klein Ad

Thanks to Julie for this.

Hey Siegfried, here’s some eye candy for you.

Seriously, I think it’s great that Calvin Klein is diversifying their portfolio of models.  I saw Nakata when he first started playing.  When I was in Japan, he was the #1 guy on the soccer team.  My roommate was a British dude who played soccer, and he idolized Nakata.

There is a WOWO-ish idea related to Nakata.  When Nakata was first starting, he was young and brash, and a reporter asked him how it felt to be talented (see any of our “Talent” posts).  Nakata said that he had no talent whatsoever, and that he felt he was just doing what anyone could do.  My roommate got pissed off when he said that.  My roommate said, “Does he know how many people would KILL to have what he has?”

Anyway, he’s retired from soccer.  It looks like he’s still doing his advertising and getting endorsements though.  Good for him.

    Hey Byron. I posted this comment over on MinorityMilitant and thought I might as well share it with you as well. I’ll ask you the same question I asked MM.

    I don’t watch much TV (brain cells are too precious to waste) so I only just today came across some info about the ABC show FastForward that I hadn’t heard mentioned in these parts.

    Tell me your thoughts about the pairing of Gabrielle Union and John Cho on FlashForward? Not just their being interracial (although hardly a first –Torque and Romeo Must Die already broke that ground LONG ago!) though I’m sure you’ve some thoughts on that .
    Asian male bloggers have long compared their dating plight to that of black women, and have long said that maybe they need to expand their dating pool outside the asian female sphere.
    Seems, at least on TV, we’re getting a dramatization of this “solution.”
    Combine that with how this is a pushing back against the media’s systematic “de-sexualization” of the asian man’s image, and I’m doubly curious to get your thoughts on this.

    Another thing. Cho and Union’s relationship isn’t presented as being fraught with dysfunctions and hang-ups. They’re normal and happy.
    Hell, even Sun and Kim on LOST never had it that good!
    Now I KNOW you got some thoughts on THAT! LOL

    Okay, okay, it’s probably a little soon to be making any determinations here, but dare I ask if this might perhaps be a trend in the making?
    Between John Cho, and what’s his name on 3 Rivers might we finally be seeing some movement on the Asian Leading Man front?

    Side Note: Personally John Cho is still too scrawny for my tastes, (Will Yun Lee would be MUCH better IMHO) but hey, considering what there was before (namely: nothing) I suppose there’s not much room to quibble.
    Anyway, can’t wait to get your take on this.

    Oh wow…I thought I had a FlashForward post, but I guess I didn’t. I’ll try to post up on that later this week, maybe tomorrow. Thanks.

    That guy looks like Jim Carrey compared to me. You should have seen me in the Fighting 44 forum! I had my shirt off and the girls were getting aroused.
    Jade Dragon kept taking me down because she knew that was getting wet.
    I could have any woman on that forum that is why ole Dailtech wanted me gone.

    @King. I can take that guy’s women away from him just by walking into the room.
    They will never take their eyes off of me! Lol! You think I’m jealous because he got a white woman. He most have spent a lot of money on an escort service to get her, or maybe $30 dollars on a downtown street corner .

    “He most have spent a lot of money on an escort service to get her, or maybe $30 dollars on a downtown street corner.”

    Sieg, look a little closer at the photo… now why would Claudia Schiffer be on a downtown street corner, selling her services for $30.00 to an internationally known sports celebrity??? It doesn’t make sense, does it?

  7. jaehwan says:

    Haha!

    Sieg, the only guy I remember having his shirt off in recent memory is the pic above. I think you must be getting aroused. I think your arousal is making you lose your memory and forcing you down some road of illusions. Last I remember, Jade Dragon’s opinion of you was the same as everyone else’s opinion of you.

    If you had been reading the Fighting 44 forum, you would have seen me with my shirt off at the computer. Then you would have seen me shirtless in my avatar.
    1. Ellen Cho 2. Mao girl 3. Matikia 4. Ike 5. Tokyo Love Story 6. Jae Dragon and the rest of the girls that I forgot to mention was crazy over me when they saw my body.

    @King, that guy looks like nothing compared to me. If we were in a cage match, I could kick his ass. LoL! Claudia Schiffer is getting old. If that was Megan Fox, then you can talk. I’m not into cougars.

    ^^^What the fuck did I just read?! Wow!!!!

  10. King says:

    Oh yeah, Sieg… Maogirl totally agreed with your viewpoints.

    http://www.thefighting44s.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6230

    But hey, the Fighting 44s is still up. Show me the link where the lady 44s were so into you.

    Haha! Sieg, like I was saying, I think seeing the visual of an Asian man is driving your head wacky. I’d like to see your proof too. People had so much fun beating the c#$p out of you on that forum that they left everything up. Point it out.

    “Haha! Sieg, like I was saying, I think seeing the visual of an Asian man is driving your head wacky.”
    Ah, so you claim, but you are the one who is posting and praising his photo. What does that say about you? You are always discrediting me because I love your women.

    “I’d like to see your proof too. People had so much fun beating the c#$p out of you on that forum that they left everything up. Point it out.”

    I can’t. Daitech took away my account and will now give it back.

    “I can’t. Daitech took away my account and will now give it back.”

    Dialectic is a wise, wise man.

    You don’t need an account to do a search. C’mon, show us where it is.
