Japanese TV Is Fucking Rubbish

Reminds me of this classic post from a few years ago... I don’t watch TV in Japan often. When I do I’m quickly reminded of one fact. Japanese TV is fucking rubbish. “Kenmin Show” was on just last night. For those who don’t know, Kenmin Show is a show where mostly talentless celebrities are amazed at footage of regional differences in Japan. Examples include ”Did you know that old women in Osaka wear bright colours?” HUUUUUEEEEEEEEEERRR? Well fuck my cock right down to the balls; no I did not know that. The particular clip that shat itself into my living room last night was of some little old dear on some little old island off Kagoshima making a local delicacy. They interviewed a few local people. Do you, sir, eat this local dish? Well yes I do. Cue ripples of excitement in the studio. Do you, madam, eat this local dish? Well yes I do.

A dark screenshot reproduces a long sarcastic post complaining about Japanese television, especially the show “Kenmin Show,” which treats ordinary regional customs as shocking discoveries. The punchline is the exaggerated reaction to two locals simply saying they eat a local dish, mocking sensationalist TV and celebrity amazement at trivial facts.
