Turning Japanese

It's pretty hot. Last night I dined in Hell. It was absolutely unbearable, and after unsuccessfully searching for a breezy location in my hitherto perfect apartment, I decided to plunk down in front of the TV, get drunk, and hopefully fall asleep.

Luckily, Disney's Finding Nemo, probably the second best computer animated feature of all time, After Toy Story, was on TV, so I was all set.

Not only did I get to watch this heartwarming story, I also got a sneak preview of ABC's action packed summer lineup! Along with the triumphant (?) return of "The Mole", ABC has turned to our brothers in the Land of the Rising Sun for inspiration, and created two super fantastic new game shows: "Wipeout", which appears to be a ripoff of "MXC" except with fat white people (lame), and "I Survived a Japanese Game Show," in which fat white people apparently get kidnapped, and forced to compete in a bizarre Japanese game show.

Imagine if we captured Japanese tourists and forced them to compete in our stupid game shows....

Tonight, to win 50 000 US Dollars, all you have to do is bring shame upon your family by revealing all their secrets of national television!!! (Moment of Truth).

A lot of people are saying that Moment of Truth is the worst reality/game show of all time. But those people apparently just don't remember "Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire?", "Who Wants to Marry My Dad?", "The Swan," and last AND ABSOLUTELY THE WORST TELEVISION PROGRAM EVER MADE, "Are You Hot?"

I think only "Who Wants to Not Get Beheaded?" Hosted by Osama Bin Laden, or "The NAMBLA Dating Game!" could possibly be worse. Anyone else remember any other terrible reality shows?
