Banzai - what will I say?

[ChuckNet]

Banzai is a fine parody of Japanese television, but the more I think about it, the more I agree with Matt, it shouldn't be taken an ounce more seriously than that.

I agree...although you should tell that to the overly-PC crew on the Fox boards, some of whom are looking to stage boycotts because they find the show demeaning to Asian-Americans.

 No jury in the world would convict them. Take those two idiots on Takeshi's Castle. How can they claim a show like Banzai is demeaning when they are willling to demean themselves like that.

Fact is, we're an exception, because we are UseNet refugees, but the population of a majority of message boards out there is composed of nitwits, as compared to the equivalent mailing list or (troll-free) newsgroup.

There's always going to be a nationality that gets offended by the \"stereotypes\" put on shows...when \"The PJs\" came out a few years ago, Spike Lee and many other blacks protested. Then there was Italians with \"The Sopranos.\" I think no matter what race is the subject, someone will ALWAYS be offended, esp. in our ultra-sensitive country. I'm agreeing with Lemon, whether this show is a hit or not, the boycott won't do squat.
