OSAKA — An actress starring in a weekly TV drama wrapped up her performance in the first episode Oct. 13 with an unusual plug that sent viewers racing to the television station's Web site.
"I have wonderful news," she said. "You can get the clothes we wore in the drama."
Those who checked out the home page of Kansai Telecasting Corp. in Osaka, which produced and broadcast the program "Real Clothes," did not find any giveaways. They instead were diverted to a mail order site.
