Something nice about Mao? Well, she makes a great toothbrush commercial.

EDIT : This was an interesting commercial. There were 5 apparently non-Japanese people singing in Japanese.
What an adorable commercial! I can see why Mao is catnip to advertisers. And she's such a chameleon--she can look like a kid or a sophisticate. There's a quicksilver quality to her expressiveness, as there is to her skating. She's a fascinator, definitely, both off the ice and on. I hope we get to see her around in skating for a long time to come, preferably at or near the top of the podium.
