The Future Of TV? How About A Good Swift Kick In The Nuts?

Ever since I found MXC on Spike TV I have been fascinated by the Japanese TV sensibility. Their programs are way beyond anything we do in this country, yet. I suspect it is only a matter of time before these kinds of shows "hit" American TV and our slide into the great cultural vacuum continues in earnest.

Does it get any better than this? Contestants have to recite some kind of long monologue in a limited time without mistakes or a machine trips a spring loaded rod that slaps them in the nuts with a leather slapper. Now that's entertainment!

By the way, if anyone reading my blog speaks Japanese, please provide me with a transcript. I would love to know what is being said.
