I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
In this case it's branding as Yamato Transport has been using black cats as their ad mascots for many years now , as Kuroneko or 黒猫 means "black cat" in Japanese. Duh.
@Amphebianlesbian regarding your extensive link-dump. I've cleaned it up by adding HTML so that it's easier to read.
Whenever I read an article that quotes a "Twitter used named X", I assume that the author has been trolled. Like the "Marie Christmas" situation i described in "The trouble with Twitter - Trolls...", it's just too easy for a random user to get the attention of a journalist and then never prove who they are. Parody accounts pretending to be X are a dime a dozen, with Godfrey Elfwick being a great example of a random Twitter user who keeps getting embedded into articles as if s/he is serious. A person on a flight can misrepresent a situation - "X is being taken off flight because Y (muslim/black/breastfeeding take your pick)" - with a poor image, and suddenly a global brand has to address hundreds of news articles to fight an accusation. One could start a protection racket with the right twitter accounts, "Nice brand you have there, would be a shame if I start trashing it on social media...."
With the case of Marie Christmas, at least some journalists were going the correct route and asking for verification of who the person was. Others dove deep into the timeline and saw it as "trolly". The problem is that journalists deadlines are now "two hours ago" by default, and this step is often skipped because other outlets are going ahead. That is how AP quoted a random twitter troll as if they had been an eyewitness to the San Bernardino attack.
I disliked the dance, but not her execution of it, to me it's quite obvious that she's trained as a dancer and has full control of every move. Plus, her shoes were a dead giveaway I knew she was going to start dancing as soon as I saw them. There's simply no surprise there. When Weapon of choice had Walken dancing, the interesting thing there was the "shock" to see a man who played a hundred bad guys move like Fred Astaire. The world knew Walken as an actor. The world barely knows Margarey Qualley, so there's no shock at all here. She could be a random dancer.
Now, in Europe where perfume ads are edited down to 15 second reminder snippets on TV, all we will ever see is that majestic splash through the flower logo. And that is pretty much every perfume ad ever, so, nothing new there either.
The only thing sort of "fresh" here is that Margarey Qualley is sort of a cuter version of her mother, Andie McDowell. BTW, here's Andie in US Vogue March 1981, showing off her high kick.
For whatever reason this reminded me of the Kissie Nazi Incident in Sweden where ads were pulled from Kissies blog and a huge debate about ads on blogs began. The people spearheading the anti-Kissie, and Kissie herself, and the "newspaper" who first was threatened by Kissie, went on to bigger and better ad sponsored positions, and larger fame, after kicking up and continuing that media storm in a teacup.
Nothing new under the sun, as they say.
