Ready for another episode of Japan-Is-Insane?

In America, the term "reality TV" usually involves attractive-but-stupid people trying to get laid, and/or going shopping.
In Japan, "reality TV" seems to involve torture, abuse, humiliation, sadistic pranks, and a hungry Komodo dragon. (see also)
The producers of these idiot shows seem to especially enjoy picking on the members of cutesy pop singing group Morning Musume. Two of the above links feature Musume members getting abused. The one with the dragon and the pork chops was extra special.
What's next, a game show called "We Invade China And Kill 25 Million People Happy Funtime"?

This post was deleted for the following reason: this is getting a little over the top editorializing-wise. want to post neat/weird/kooky stuff about japan, please do, but stop the "WTF JAPAN CRAYZEE AMIRITE" please. -- jessamyn
Your defense is that the entire post is racist? Well, score one for you I suppose.

ok, I watched the "torture" and "abuse" links and I think you have no idea what those words mean. while you're at it, look up "non-consensual."

If one must judge the Japanese, then please, judge them based on random clips from YouTube.

Also, you seem to not like Japan so much judging from your posting history here.
