dudes dress up as girls in japan? ultimate trap thread (COME IN JUNPEI!)

[Himu]

I don't care if this was stolen from gaf or not. It deserves to be posted. Can the more knowledgeable homojapuals of the evilborean senate come up and give an explanation for this phenomenon? These dudes dress up as chicks on a tv show and they totally look like chicks! wtf!

What!??! Men dressing like women I have never heard of this phenomenon!

Japan likes to cavort like the Greeks of old. You know the ones I mean.

Yeah, this is a program called 'let's go to school' and I guess it's supposed to be fun and educational, though I don't know why they are getting junior high school boys to dress like girls.

Japanese television is WACKY JAPPY. Suprise!

Seriously I see shit like that and think "hey, this is what Sodom and Gomorrah TV must have been like. Neat!"

[cool breeze]

Japanese boys look like ugly Japanese girls.

Recently on Mondays there has been some episodes of a comedy program where comedians dress up as girls and then go out on the catwalk and girls judge them as who looks the most like a girl. And they get all happy if they are judged most girly.

Japanese tv has been utterly reeeediculous in the past but this just takes the cake.

The guy that comes out is some pretty boy actor or something

this shit is not exclusive to japan

*sigh*

I don't think other countries base entire tv programs around this though.

95% of Japanese falls into one of two categories.

1) This made sense to someone?!?
2) Another stupid fucking variety panel show.

The other 5% are pretty entertaining, but you've got to wade through the above muck to find them.

My favorite is still a segment from some panel show where parents send their little kids to the store to buy shit, while the camera crew trials behind them. The catch is that the kids don't know they're on TV or that a camera crew is following them, so when they get lost (and they always get lost!), they freak out, the panel of b-rate Japanese celebs wig out back at the soundstage, and hilarity ensues. After getting caught in the torrential downpours during Gion Matsuri 2006, we caught the tail end of this on local Kyoto TV.

Japanese TV man, so weird.

I don't know what's worse, asian cheeseburgers or black cheeseburgers

You forgot those stupid-ass food shows, where they travel to some remote village to eat soba prepared slightly differently!  God, I hate TV here, although the bi-aunnual Sasuke competition kind of makes up for it.

No, dude, those food shows are "the other 5%" mentioned.  I loves me those Japanese food shows, no joke. Although it's better when some portion of the celebrity panel gets food-heismanned. "YOU LOSE! NO FOOD FOR YOU! Here, honored winners; please enjoy this 150,000 yen steak..."
