Japan comes out with a lot of really weird stuff. But they also have some pretty damn sweet “Bionic Woman” pwnage like
Machine Girl. Well, leave it to the Japanese to come up with a game show concept around, of all things, sliding doors. I know this is usually’s
Saman’s thing with his weird
Japanese show fetish, but I was so mesmerized by this one that I just had to post it. Now the question is, does this weirdness rub off on you when you travel there, or is this strictly limited to true Japanese people? Roll film…
I wonder if Michael Kwan is acting any weirder after his recent trip to Japan? Hey Michael! Have you wanted to slide any doors lately? Crap… I just realized he’s my roommate for CES. I’ll let you folks know if he starts sliding the balcony door in the room 
I don’t know. You saw me at pho last Saturday… do I seem any weirder (than usual)?
Well, Mr. Lan only has a SCREEN DOOR. Let’s see what you do when the doors slide

And that rubber mat pretty much prevents me from doing any sliding at all.
That would be some much more fun trying to catch somebody’s head in between the screen doors.
Flawless victory.
Fatality.
Japanese are unusual people. That much is true, a universal truth, you may call it. They create original concepts that seem weird at first, but not all of these concepts are weird. Some are quite good and useful and unique. Very creative.
You got me. Hopefully this Summer while I’m in Japan, I’ll be able to figure it out.
I wonder if it’s anything like the Hispanic channels here in the states, they’re all in silly costumes too.
(yeah, for some reason I watch TV in languages that I don’t know….)
