Since we're talking about some cultural differences, here are two cases.
-Kobe Bryant, arguably one of the best NBA basketball players now, cheated on his wife and yet he still makes commercials for Nike. And I don't think anyone even thinks about that any more.
-Hikari Utada, arguable one of the best j-pop singers, does not make any commercials anymore other than for her record label (correct me if I'm wrong) because she, like this poll's first pick choice Kanda Uno, would make one think of divorce.
I chose these two for their similarities; they are very popular and likable in their respective countries and they are good role models for the most part. So one conclusion is that Japan is more sensitive on marital issues than America. Since I'm not too keen on Japanese culture, I have to ask you guys, does this conclusion make sense?
