Japan TV apologizes for bad titties
Japan TV apologises for “topless” New Year’s Eve shock

TOKYO (Reuters) – A troupe of dancers in skin-coloured body suits had Japanese national broadcaster NHK apologising to viewers of its New Year’s Eve music special… The dancers, who all appeared to be topless and wore skimpy bikini-style bottoms and feathered head-dresses, covered the stage during a performance by singer DJ OZMA…”I guess it looked a bit too real,” local media quoted the singer as telling reporters after the show…
The national public broadcaster, NHK TV, every New Years Eve airs a yawnfest called “Kouhaku-Utagassen” (Red vs White Song Contest). It’s still is very popular program with ratings share of well over 40%. In other words, almost half of Japanese watch this boring program and finally they figured out a way to keep the audience awake.

I suppose some people might get in a huff over staid & stoic NHK, with its mind crushingly family fair, pushing boundaries a little (oh gee, somebody wanted to emulate a Janet Jackson “wardrobe malfunction”). Then again, maybe people have been huffing the rarified air of the TV and music personality world a little too much.
And why all the fuss, considering the shennanigans pulled on other networks? Well, in the past anyways. Is it just me or have the New Year’s eve shows gotten weaker and lamer since around 2000 or so? This year, they didn’t even really try with the ritual physical comedy/celebrity torture shows (I guess they seemed to save it for 1/2, but even those weren’t that great)
What ever happened to some near legendary events, like that gigantic game of strip paper rock scissors with 3000 girls on live TV. The bar was set a while ago folks. I wonder if there’s a youtube of that…

Hmmm, I vaguely recall the “game of strip paper rock scissors with 3000 girls on live TV.” However, I got a better one:
On my first night in Japan, I flipped on the hotel TV after 11pm and the FIRST thing I saw was a dart game.
Ok, ok, it was a blow dart game.
Did I say it was a blow dart game with hostesses?
No wait, did I say they were naked hostesses laying on their backs on a public bar and shooting at the dart board?
Oh, oh, did I forget to mention the blow dart guns were NOT in their mouths?
I couldn’t turn the set off for the rest of the night.
