You can see why Japan gets a bad name when this is the face they present - to themselves. Is it funny? Our Man admits he was morbidly fascinated by the reactions of the poor chap. If he had known who the chap was, it might have been amusing, but over all it confirms his belief that you are best off switching the telly off. Especially in Japan.
Still, a little Little England Outrage can't hurt the hits counter, eh Telegraph subs? (Come to think of it, might be good for Our Man - Lord knows he could do with a hit or two).
Secret handshake to Dr Datsun Kildare, rapidly becoming something of a Japan handyman.

Funny what is funny, huh Doc. Donate to the running man cause, and Our Man will get the girls in the typing pool to figure out what is being said.

Over-the-topness in Japanese variety shows used to be even more, well, over the top. Anyways, with the current situation in AfPak, does anyone think 電波少年 should be revived?

Basically, it's a comedian who was set up, not a member of the public, so Our Man says, feel free to laugh your tits off (and at the Telegraph).
