Yes, I realize that all I ever talk about is Japanese TV, but the very good reason for that is that Japanese TV is freakin' awesome. Here is a sample from one of my favorite short programs from NHK, the Japanese public broadcasting channel. It is called "Salaryman Taiso" or Salaryman Stretches. Theoretically, it is meant to teach businessmen how to stretch, but really it teaches them how to prance like young deer. Please pay special attention to the English at the end. Also, at one point the announcer suggests having your wife put your shoes on for you, and says that such chores are the basis of a successful marriage. I am so glad we have these people to teach us about successful marriages.

You know who could really learn from Japanese telebi? Maury Povich. While he seems incapable of any thematic scheme beyond DNA testing for baby-daddy identification, the Japanese have on daytime TV alone 1,394,603,309 ways to exercise. Come on America--a little imagination, please? Guess we're too busy robbing, raping and murdering.
