I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

OK, I'll concede Taiwan, but as to low-class humor being a new US contrivance, I've got one word: Chaucer. The potty humor hasn't changed, just the lingo used to convey it.
Experience bij!

The US looks nutty to many people.

Also, you may have seen the japanese gameshow 'Majide': in it, 10 dumb Americans are brought to Tokyo to compete in a zany gameshow, for great amusement of the Japanese audience, who laugh a lot at the silly trials the americans have to submit themselves to.

If you haven't done so yet, you may watch the show on youtube:

Huh?  Almost every country in the world has stupid people who will do anything to get on TV.  How is that nutty to other people?

Heh, the fact that the Japanese have a show like this says more about the Japanese than it does about the silly Americans they laugh at.  :lol:

And given the number of Japanese gameshows based on having Japanese contestants do all sorts of silly things for the audience to laugh at, the example isn't really that telling.  The Japanese love gameshows where people compete in retarded, funny ways.  One of the hundreds they have has American contestants.  Woohoo.

Well what about the fact that they took the Japanese show Majide, and turned it into a reality tv-show about a Japanese tv-show called "I Survived a Japanese Gameshow" last year.

That's probably the most profound thing you've ever posted on languish.

:english:

What I meant to say was: what does it say about whom that the Americans then imported the Majide show and turned it into a reality tv show about Americans participating in a Japanese gameshow called "I Survived a Japanese Gameshow".

It was very meta.  :mellow:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Survived_a_Japanese_Game_Show


:o According to that link there is no such thing as a Japanese show called Majide!  It was made up by the Americans to resemble a japanese gameshow.  :o

I feel lied to. :(

Reminds me of this classic Onion story.

http://www.theonion.com/content/news/japan_pledges_to_halt_production

Quote"We honestly had no idea people did not enjoy this stuff," said Cultural Affairs Minister Kazuhiro Nakai, expressing regret for the thousands of hours of bondage porn, rape porn, utensil-rape porn, food-rape porn, frozen-food-rape porn, vomit-enema porn, elder-care-coma-patient-rape porn, and the kind of a porn in which a nubile youth is kidnapped, stripped, tied down in a wading pool and raped. "We are deeply ashamed for whatever it is about these films that has made people around the world vomit so vigorously. Please know that the content was only intended to entertain and arouse."

:o :x :bleeding: Some of that stuff is just disturbing to read about.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Not really.

QuoteThe proposed new measures include a 50 percent reduction in live-eel anal insertions, and a requirement that portrayals of group sex involving seven or more individuals feature at least four human participants. Also under consideration is a zero-tolerance policy covering all "prurient uses" of colostomy bags.
