Denpa Shonen
"Denpa Shonen" is a seriously weird (by Western standards) reality show.
We are watching two different ones:
One is about a woman who has to find the cheapest ingredients to create a meal each day. She draws a piece of paper with the meal of the day on it from a box, so it's totally random. She goes through all the sale flyers sent out each day to find the cheapest prices. Then she has to bicycle to the shops, over a 50-or-more-mile radius. If she manages to get the ingredients, she gets to cook the meal and eat it. If she doesn't get ALL of the ingredients, she goes hungry that day. Eep!
The other is a guy who is locked in a room with no clothes, no food, just supplies to help him enter contests to prove that a person can live off things you win as prizes. I am worried about how *thin* he is getting!
I am now very hungry! Time to eat! And the food is right there in the kitchen! I don't have to bicycle to get it or write postcards and hope I win it! :-P
