Japan is Retarded!

Aaaaahhhh. So it’s taken me all of four months to decide. but japan is a strange place indeed. From the TV shows to the general everyday lives I just don’t get it. It sure is amusing though!!! Here’s the address of a clip from a popular TV show.

 and although I haven’t seen this actual clip I have seen this show quite a few times…. All of which are nearly as enlightening.

The general rule of thumb is to keep your head down and accept whatever cards are dealt. If you find yourself in a bad situation you’re pretty much expected to deal with it in whatever way you can and to do your best not to make any waves. I suppose that that can be an admirable quality when you’re living in such a restricted society, but I just don’t get it. With so much to rebel against people still somehow manage to rebel in a very uniform way. There’s hardly any unique forms of rebellion. It’s a strange place…….

    What they don’t tell you is that punishment for rebellion is forced participation in a game show.
