Japanese people are lucky, or, Where’s LaToya?

In case you didn’t know, I do love me some TV. Right now, I am exploding with anticipation over the return of “So, You Think You Can Dance.” Not so much for the actual competition itself, but because the ads seem to indicate that the best SYTYCD contestant ever is returning.

Yes, friends, SEX is back…

Let me just say, without a hint of double entendre, “I Love Sex.” Sex should be on more shows. Perhaps an episode of CSI:Miami in which Sex is suspected of murdering a particularly nubile beach bunny with only his scintillating dance moves. Click on Sex’s picture above to see his homemade dance video. It is stunning it it awesomosity.

Now back to my point. (Sex has a way of getting me off track.) The only place in the world I imagine has better TV options than the U.S. of A. is Japan. It seems like they always have the best damn shows. Of course, it may be because I understand not a lick of what anyone may be saying at any given time. It just adds to the mystique.

Anyhoo, the following is a clip from some Japanese game show, I think. In my brain, I think people are supposed to sing along to music videos while made up to look like the actual celebrities. Hell, it could be a meeting of Japanese parliament. Who am I to say? All I know is that this show is scary in its brilliance. Were it on my TV, I would watch it eating a big box of Nilla Wafers whilst basking in the joyousness of it all. I would have to be careful as the force of all that giddiness might knock me off my couch.

Here, friends and foes, is a group of Japanese people (many in black face) singing “We Are the World.”

I have to say, that Diana Ross impersonator has her down. Billy Joel, not so much.

I have to ask again, though…

Where’s LaToya?
