Banzai!

i was going to say that none of these shows are actually game shows. a lot of these shows are just comedians who cant get any work putting their face on advertisements or people who werw one-hit wonders 20 years ago or transvestites (who seem to have to be included in everything on tv in japan) or former high priced prostitutes. i wish i was exaggerating.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

sure as fuck sounds better than a stupid talantless brat of some famous/rich family.

it wouldn't be a bad thing if there was anything else on tv. but every time i turn on tv it's out-of-work famous people playing games, out-of-work famous people eating, out-of-work famous people watching youtube, out-of-work famous people getting the news explained to them, out-of-work famous people learning about the female reproductive system....the occasional fluke of creativity shows up online. i dont think the US is that much better, in general, and part of the problem is that no one here invests any money in tv programs, but when it's a big deal that they have a 3 hour special program of famous people going to different restaurants and eating the food and saying that every single thing is the most delicious thing that they have ever eaten, i feel like they aren't trying very much.

I'd think I'd rather see has-beens do this then kissing Trump's ass.
