Wow. That's... impressive.

I mean, I knew Subor/Waixing was big in China, but I didn't realize they were big enough to get celebrity endorsements!

Apparently this ad even got mentioned in an LA Times article (http://articles.latimes.com/2010/aug/23/business/la-fi-chan-curse-20100823) about Chan's endorsements... with the Subor ad highlighted as one of the many failed examples. Heh.

Edit: The ads may have been made before Subor was bought by Waixing, if I'm understanding some of what I'm finding correctly. Still, though! It's Jackie Chan endorsing a Famiclone, either way!

Something tells me this is Youtube Poop-worthy, or at least it would be if he actually spoke English in the advertisements. Also, I wonder if Subor ever put Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu on any of their Famiclones. :P
