Japanese actor Yoshizawa Ryo is out of a contract with Asahi Beer after drunkenly wandering into an apartment that wasn't his. The company says it's axed his commercials for their Asahi Dry Crystal after police found the actor passed out in a neighbor's place on December 30th.

finished watching Loudermilk Season 3
Addiction, disabilities, mental health, masculinity... those aren't easy themes to get right, much less when making a comedy, and this show mostly doesn't, but a few times it nails them. I liked its point about objectifying disabled people, even mentioning Stella Young's "Inspiration Porn", but most of the time it just feels wrong. There's a fine line between normalizing and trivializing, and I don't think Farrelly is the right person to navigate such heavy issues.
After finishing the last season I checked the net, expecting to read a lot of outraged people, but the outrage I'm finding is the total opposite of what I expected: it comes from asshats claiming that the show was "too woke".
Yes, let that sink in, they're saying that Loudermilk, made by a Farrelly brother, is too woke. Are we really that polarized or are the algorithms selecting only MAGA nutjobs to throw at my face? I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
