Japanese Game Shows

And, now, I give you: Japanese Game Shows as Metaphors for life.

HUMAN TETRIS

Don't you feel this way sometimes? What is it about life and social mores that compel us to to contort ourselves into some wacky shape that doesn't make any sense? It's all better when done in a shiny suit and a willingness to laugh about it.

THE MONITOR LIZARD

Sometimes life is the monitor lizard. And you're the girl with the pork chop taped to her head. All you can do is duck for cover and wonder if there is a prize at the end of all this.

TAKESHI'S CASTLE

If only we each had our own British commentator on the obstacle course of life: "you're hurling yourself at a door." Thanks, mate.

And you? Do you ever feel like a contestant in life's wacky game show?
