I think I'm turning Japanese....

So I was talking to Deb recently and we were showing each other videos on YouTube. I came across one that kinda confused me. 




For those of you a little slow on the uptake (you know who you are), the big burly chick in the middle is actually a guy. Coming from the "Western World" looking at this culture, perhaps my point of view is clouded. Then again.....



Ok...so the music world for the Japanese is a little weird. Perhaps the bombs we dropped on them screwed up some sort of genetic structure. They did have a lot of influence on us though. I mean they build awesome video game systems (Nintendo and Playstation), they have perfected a lot of the television technology (Sony, Panasonic, Fuji, Toshiba, etc). So SURELY their television programs must be better! 



You have to give them credit. They do have unique ideas for television shows. Oh, for my American bretheren, if you thought that human tetris video was cool, it will be coming to America called "Hole in the Wall", so have no fear! 

"But masterful Kender, I have seen video of the Japanese culture! Tom Green and the Jackass boys went there and everyone was so docile and looked so serious!" Yes the Japanese culture is much different than the US and Europe. Usually the Japanese are linked to high moral honor codes and are quiet and timid. Yes, I agree with you fully. They are quiet, timid, and always look like they belong in a CEO meeting.


"But masterful Kender! The women are obviously crazy there. They used to bind their feet and are trained to be servants to men! Of course they're going to act out when put in a karaoke booth by themselves with no one to look on!"



Face it people, Japanese are crazy! But damn it, I can't help but search for their videos on YouTube and laugh my kender ass off as I watch! Yes, the ones I presented are some of my favorites. Hope you enjoyed. I still want to visit Japan someday and see this first hand!!
