Japanese gameshow: lizards vs. humans in meat hats
I went out for sushi this weekend with friends. After plowing through edamame, someone started talking about this crazy Fear-Factor-oid game show they'd just watched in Japan, wherein women wear pork chop hats. They pop up their meat-adorned heads through holes in a platform like so many "whack-a-moles," and this big goddamned hungry toothy lizard crawls around seeking lunch in an agitated, confrontational manner. "I don't know what's worse," said my sushi-eating friend, "being stuck there with a pork chop attached to your head -- or NOT having a pork chop on your head. Would the lizard try to eat your head if your hat had no pork chop?"
Man, who knows. But lo and behold, on the same day, a Boing Boing reader points us to a Google Video clip of this very game show. Coincidence? Or are the lizard gods talking to us through the internet?
