Japanese Television
It's Good to Be the King!
Some of us Americans (myself included) are woefully unaware of who world leaders are. Like, do you know if Japan has a president or a prime minister? Do you know this person's name?
Puppets, Peaches, and Pink: A Deadly Trifecta
I'm not sure if this is a music video or a four-minute ad for canned peaches, but there's enough pink in this video to make Barbie go blind.
Tug of War ... For Your Face
That can't be healthy.
Thank You, Japanese Television
Without you we might never get to experience such wonders as a chimp wearing overalls riding a Segway. I love how the chimp takes off on his wheels faster than a restless teenager with a learner's permit. It's five minutes of the same chimpy antics, so watch until you've had your fill.
Amazing Break Dancers Will Give You the Chills
Just when I start thinking break-dancing is totally cornball, I see an act like this that blows me away. These guys are so good I got the chills! Wooooot!
Hair Down There? Don't Despair!
We're living in an age that seems frightened — nay, terrified — of crotch hair, or, to put it more delicately, hair on the "bikini area." In the '70s, hairy everything was the rage and now? Nothin'.
Flashback: Ultraman
It seems that Japanese television has been pretty awesome for a long, long time. Take the "tokusatsu" or special effects television show Ultraman (1966 -1967), which was created by one of the dudes who was the creator of Godzilla in 1954. Although it looks like Godzilla here, I hear from an aficionado that Ultraman and Godzilla would never fight each other.
Another Japanese String Movie!
This Japanese "string movie" consists of a bunch of people in black suits with some fluorescent string attached acting out scenes from classic movies. I love the idea that as film technology gets more and more advanced, some people are keeping visual effects low-tech. That's my string theory, anyway.
Cats in Bowls and Clothes!
People putting stuff on cats on Stuff on My Cat, adding captions to their goofy expressions on I Can Haz Cheezburger? and now cats in clothes sitting in bowls. It truly will never end.
Japanese Bowling
Leave it to the Japanese to turn the staid and conservative game of bowling into some show-stopping, lane-jumping razzle-dazzle! (Did that sentence even make sense?)
