In my mind JapanDEFINITELYhas the best TV shows EVER!!!
SO the question is : what’s big in Japan? As usual my answer remains : EVERYTHING!!!
Loads of Western (not like cowboys specifically, but they are included in this mix – Japanese LOVE cowboys!!!) musicians and entertainment stars often migrate across the big blue to feel the love of Japanese fans – which is, of course BIG!
And the TV Shows are the shidniz – absolutely obscure!
In an effort to keep our eSquared members entertained, part of “Big in Japan” blog will be to show you some of the funniest TV Shows and segments I have EVER seen in my life. A few words of caution : sit down when watching. You will poop your pants laughing so hard.
Watching shows from Japanese TV is like watching the Ring. You will wind up showing your buddies the shows. You will rope them into the same laughing end : dangling at the end of the rope of humour doing a jig. Very contagious stuff!
Anyways : enough wax and lets ear some laughter : check this one out. The rules are simple : The adults dress like school kids and sit in a classroom with a TV learning English from an actor. Oh – under no circumstances are they allowed to laugh. Let’s see how far you get
Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls welcome to the United States of America Presidential showdown being broadcast world wide.
In the one corner we have Hillary ‘cash strapped’ Clinton and in the same corner we have Barack ‘the real deal’ Obama. Oh wait, here comes a new competitor John ‘plain’ McCain. Looks like we have a triple threat match here folks. Let’s get ready to ruuuumble!!!
So today is the day. Hillary Clinton has to pull out all the stops to stay in the presidential race. Being the overwhelming favourite a few weeks ago, things aren’t looking up for the former first lady. It is incredible to think that the wife of the former president is having financial difficulties in her campaign. The amount of cash that goes into them could fund a small country for a decade. It is absolutely absurd. From what I gather, the vast majority believe that Clinton does not represent the people but rather the the dark and powerful suits that hover in the background of most governments. This situation is demonstrated by the fact that both McCain and Obama’s campaigns continue to attract financing at an alarming rate whilst Clinton’s continue to splutter. It’s a major warning sign. I really hope that she stays in the race but doesn’t win.
Barack Obama is the buzz word on everyone’s lips at the moment. People that have no idea what he is all about want him to win. The reason being that people want a change, hell I want a change! The talk about Obama being the target of an assassination plot is due to the fact that there are many hicks who do not want to see a black man elected as President of the United States. Get over it, its 2008 guys. The fact is that all Presidents live with the constant threat of assassination on the horizon hence the reason there is the Secret Service. To his credit, he has not cowered away and has shown full confidence. I like what I see in him and I want him to win. The only issue I can see is the problem of Obama and Clinton being from the same Party. But that’s a whole new discussion. I really hope he takes it; it really is time for a change.
Now the dark horse, John McCain. Little has been said about him as all the talk has been about the other two candidates. I was watching a discussion the other night and an analyst was saying McCain doesn’t have the necessary experience. Did the two boys who dropped out of college have experience to start Google? No, they hired people who had experience. It’s the same situation with Microsoft and News corp. In a Political sense, Arnold Schwarzenegger has no experience at all but he is doing the job in California. I can’t see McCain taking it, but hopefully he will throw in some competition.
I can’t wait for the outcome; let’s hold thumbs that the right candidate wins.
A new day has dawned and for most of us that means work work work. Ah well it may not be the perfect place you would like to be, but having cash at the end of the month is always a bonus…after all food, lighting, a roof over ones head, are definitely not overrated luxuries.
For me the best thing about having a hard day at work is being able to climb into a nicesnugly warm bed and have a superregenerativesleep. Of course if you can’t fall asleep and sit there staring at the ceiling it can be a real bummer. The good ol’ trick of counting sheep is a firm favourite of sending children off to sleep. But not all kids are the same, do other children dream of different things to fall asleep? The Tshirt of the Day by Rockyundoubtedly gets us thinking. What do you think of our design Counting Businessmen?
Our design suggests that we may have a buddingaccountant in the making trying to count businessmen instead of furry animals. Indeed I can just picture a rocket scientist child counting little shuttles orbiting his bed. What would you have been counting as a child?
I don’t exactly know what I would have been counting, as my occupation is still in the hands of fate…oh yes and Unisa lecturers. If all goes to plan perhaps it would have been Disneyenchantedflying books flapping their pages over my bed.
This is a very different little design and no doubts, brings a smile to many faces.
Of course there may be some who simply think its rubbish, I’m hoping there aren’t too many of those opinions though LOL.
