Miyoko [ # 1 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 770 Level: 7, Pins: 13 EXP 06/23/2008 3:36pm I hate how they can’t be original. They’re so desperate to make money!
Sakura [ # 2 ] [Top] [Bottom] Moderator Total Posts: 6797 Level: 29, Pins: 22 EXP 06/23/2008 4:45pm Well it’s funny to see Americans do Japanese things. I hope they don’t degrade Japanese culture though.
greentea [ # 3 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 436 Level: 5, Pins: 6 EXP 06/23/2008 5:01pm I don’t think Japan will agree to it if they do.
Gon [ # 4 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 256 Level: 4, Pins: 7 EXP 06/23/2008 6:40pm I want to be on a Japanese game show.
Sadako [ # 5 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 180 Level: 3, Pins: 4 EXP 06/23/2008 10:22pm Me too. Are they actually going to show this on tv though?
Blasian [ # 6 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 404 Level: 5, Pins: 6 EXP 06/23/2008 11:54pm Well it’s going to air this week on ABC.

elenastevenson [ # 10 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 214 Level: 4, Pins: 5 EXP 07/18/2008 4:50pm Yeah, the American assumptions about Asian cultures are something we see all the time. But it really seems that ABC is respecting Japanese culture. Like, some of the activities involve learning about Japanese culture....should be educational for the contestants. Host Tony Sano is actually half Japanese, but really in touch with his Japanese heritage. I saw on the ABC site that the show concept was hatched by a Scandinavian company.
Alvin Lin [ # 11 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 107 Level: 3, Pins: 1 EXP 07/18/2008 8:10pm I have no idea why some idiot Whites think that way about Asian cultures. They’d probably get all uppity too if someone said the same thing, that British, French, German, American, and Italian cultures were all the same. I bet most don’t even realize just a ridiculously diverse and fragmented and different the country of China is within regions and geographies, to the point where people even have their own languages. At least in America, northern yankees and southern hicks speak the same language without local dialects.

Gate_of_Rage [ # 13 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 108 Level: 3, Pins: 2 EXP 07/19/2008 3:34am Amen to your 1st comment Al. I’ve peeped at the show and it’s insane. Some stuff they do is so friggin’ gross! Some things they show are funny as well.
tlee [ # 14 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 176 Level: 3, Pins: 5 EXP 07/19/2008 9:19am I would be fine with the show if they didn’t degrade the Japanese culture.
SimonMBC [ # 15 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 327 Level: 5, Pins: 6 EXP 09/06/2008 1:28pm I love this show!!! I’d love to compete!!! I’ve been a loyal japanese game show fan for years, so I’d have an advantage lol… And as for the Korean waitress working in Thai restaurant… If I worked in a Thai restaurant, I’d study to know what I’m serving… On the subject of “degrading” “racist” issue… There are definitely some parts that’s questionable in these shows… Don’t know if you guys have seen MXC on Spike… They ridicule the contestants and make fun of the MC’s by dubbing in funny remarks over them… While in places like NY or CA, or any other states that Asians are heavily populated, people know what real Asian are like… it bothers me a little of a rare chance that people in mid-west or places where there aren’t many asians, Americans may think that’s the way asians act… just a little bit… BTW I love and laugh at MXC LOL…
