Actress Tomoka Kurotani named 'Grapefruit Ambassador'

Where is the Preparation H ambassador?

Soon enough they'll create the title of "Ambassador Ambassador", to be the Ambassador of all the countless Ambassadors in Japan..or something like that...

I've never been to keen on grapefruit, I guess I can put her in my Axis Terrible Fruit group.

Thanks Nessie. Were they worthy of the title?

Who is the "Melons Ambassador"?

That would be Miss Yubari, I kid you not. I met her once. They really have a Melon Queen.

Who is the "Melons Ambassador"? JT - pictures please.

Instead of paying 100-150 yen for one grapefruit, I buy a liter of grapefruit juice, which contains the juice of at least 10 grapefruits, for about 150 yen. You're all welcome.

Sarge...just make sure it doesn't say 10% actual grapefruit juice content, otherwise you're back to paying 150 yen for effectively 1 grapefruit...

Man, I love this country..

All this ambassador / --ist stuff is getting very very painful!

Is it only me, or are there many more of these this year than last?

"Instead of paying 100-150 yen for one grapefruit, I buy a liter of grapefruit juice, which contains the juice of at least 10 grapefruits, for about 150 yen".

Provided that it has been labelled correctly Sarge ... bet ya didn't think of that!

Sarge, "Best Grapefruit drinkerist" of 2008!!

Another media organisation sucked in by a publicity stunt, Why on earth do these things get coverage?

Is there a consul too? As ambassador, she should defend grapefruits' rights and ask Japanese to stop eating them.

i will like to visit japan,do i have to talk to her to get a VISA ? or a grapefruit juice as welcome drink? im confuse now..

I'd like her to promote grapefruit a little more with a photoshoot or something

Yeah, shouldn't grapefruits come with a peel?

I guess the world has run out of things to do!

yay!

I'm dead serious guys, the next one would be Best Gaijinist

Giving these people diplomatic immunity is just asking for trouble.

When can we have a peaches ambassador?

She's won it for the 3rd year in a row. One wonders what the criteria could be for being a grapefruit ambassador.

Wanted: desperate, talentless fool who will do anything for work.

Surely she must be the, "Best Grapefuitest" the world has ever seen, don't you all agree?

First, it's Breakfast Ambassador, then it's Grapefruit Ambassador...what's next then...?..:)

Does she get a chance to visit Florida?

I'd like her to promote grapefruit a little more with a photoshoot or something

The management companies will do anything for money and farm out the talents to any 'worthy cause'. Maybe the toilet bowl industry should have an award for best bogest!

Mark - it would be The Best Grapefruitist!

But has anyone ever seen or heard of her doing anything to promote grapefruits?

I wonder how she won that award...

“I’m really honored. I hope to convey the wonders of grapefruit in a fresh spirit yet again,”

I doubt she is even slightly aware how absolutely ludicrous that sounds

Nothing like a nice pair of grapefruits in the morning.

"Grapefruit Ambassador". Much better than naming someone "Grapefuitiest".

Now the state of Florida is getting into this foolishness. Is she going to have a summet with the Breakfast Ambassador? Grapefriut is a breakfast food afterall, along with beer.

Didn't she just get an award for having the best teeth from Philips? Maybe the grapefruit give her clean teeth.
