Reason #37 to Watch Japanese Television.

[ThabisoMhlaba]

You know sometimes in life you try to make sense of things, and you do for a while. But then you start watching japanese television and everything you thought you knew is no longer valid.

Just watch this, and as many of the related clips from the same show.

Erh....

I'm confused :S

[kikindaface]

hahahahahahaha so funny :D

[Ryuartyi]

Er. Wow.

Funny, but weird. I guess that can be said of all Japanese television.

[Choob]

I'm never going to trust asian girls again.

[Crass]

This is super weird, and hilarious.

[Alex Chow]

It's a trap!

[the ANGRY filipino]

"Now we send him on a blind date with his unknowing friend. Using hidden cameras we see if he can enter into a make-out session, earning him over $10,000!"

[HunterKiller_]

So funny when s/he started talking.

Although he already looked heaps like a girl anyway.

[ThabisoMhlaba]

Yeah definitely made me rethink Asian girls altogether. I also started thinking, can you imagine that show in America?

in america? =3=;;
i think it would be a challenge all together..
at least Japanese boys have been raised in a Feminine society i guess haha.

I dunno.. i mean, you see this kind of stuff every day in Japan if you go to Cosplay cafe ect..

[Ilaekae]

"I also started thinking, can you imagine that show in America?"

Yeah...I can actually. Of course, when they run it throughout the South and the Bible-Belt, it'll be called "Let's Lynch Us a F*gg*t!" Fastest with the rope gets a special prize...

[Nettle_Mountain]

Damn, im in love...

... i think people just mixt TV and reality , THIS IS TV you don't see this EVERYDAY on the street or not more than in other country -_- , unless you go to okama-bar ( those are transvestite hostess bar ).

Glad that every foreigner looking at Jerry Springer show don't think that is America's everyday reality , well at least i hope not :/

[Aphotic Phoenix]

When you work in a hotel things like this don't seem strange at all...

[Gerulaitis]

It's not just the Japanese TV that has this effect...

Look at this manly game for a change: http://www.cartoonbrew.com/games/trailer-for-muscle-koushinkyaku-muscle-march.html
Try to imagine something of that sort in the west.

[darkwolf29a]

That's wrong!!!!

Funny, but wrong!

Art copies life. Jerry Springer's show isn't exactly a cross section of American culture, but instead just takes the dregs, emphasises them, and puts them in the spotlight, so it is kind of, in its own weird way, reality.

[gnarl]

Well.... Unfortunatley, they're better looking than the chick I just got my burritos from in the drive-thru. :(

[Rist]

He looks pretty cute with lipstick on :dead:

everybody i've shown has freaked from seeing this.

Feminine society? hmmmmm....well, I don't think any society that has to make separate train-cars for female passengers so they don't get felt up regularly on daily commutes (Not that I haven't had problems with that here in DC) would really constitute 'feminine' or even 'female-friendly' in my book. In fact, some of my friends from over there have said that things are more depressingly sexist there than here in the US. Eh, well, in any case, I'll suppose I'll find out for myself when I go to stay in Tokyo for five months this Spring as an exchange student.


Also, this continues to elude me, but why is a man that "transforms into a woman" considered a trap?

It's a trap for men. They think it's a cute chick but when "she" turns out to be a "he", it tends to floor and embarrass the poor guy. They also have something called a "reverse trap," which is a "she" who looks like a "he" (Ouran Host Club plays into it with Haruhi, the main female lead. An example of a trap is in Maria-Holic).

[Rist]

Not really a trap when they say the person is a he in the first place.
