WTF? Japan(ese TV)
it`s not that infrequent that something on tv pisses me off/unnerves me but more often than not i can`t be bothered to post it here. this time, i feel like archiving my frustration. maybe someone else will find it interesting/weird/whatever.

wow... @ tv
Figward says:
:o
nighstar mayfair says:
so its a panel talkshow crap thing, as always
Figward says:
*nods*
nighstar mayfair says:
a person who`s half... or is she full american?
anyway
someone else accused her of not washing her hair daily
Figward says:
o_o
nighstar mayfair says:
and she was like yeah... i only need to wash it 3-4x a week
and everyone was like GASSSSSSSSPPP!!!!!!!!!!!11
Figward says:
^^;;;
nighstar mayfair says:
and someone even called her dirty... D;
Figward says:
eh, cultural.. things.. D:
expectations :P
nighstar mayfair says:
and now they`re all making a bigass fuss out of it and she even got kinda teary eyed at one point >_>
Figward says:
D:
nighstar mayfair says:
lol.... i guess i shouldnt tell anyone how often i wash my hair in this country
Figward says:
^^:
I guess not :P
nighstar mayfair says:
obvious complete ignorance to the fact that not everyone has the same hair type
like the time ppl asked if i got a perm cause my hair was curlier than usual lol...
Figward says:
mmhm ^^;
nighstar mayfair says:
kinda makes me mad that such a large group of ppl can be so ignorant, but eh... >_>;
Figward says:
*shrugs*
I'm sure all those japanese people don't /need/ to do their hair every day, either
it's just a cultural thing that they've decided on :P
nighstar mayfair says:
but still, the reactions she got was completely uncalled for imho >_> makes me cringe to even think had it been me they asked
cultural differences, meh meh
they didnt even attempt to consider that it was just a cultural difference though, it was just bad hygiene to them
Figward says:
*nods @ reactions*
people can be mean on those shows >_>;
guess it makes good tv >_>;
nighstar mayfair says:
meh, for those who dont get offended by it
Figward says:
which japanese people apparently don't ^^;
nighstar mayfair says:
but who would?
only those weird foreigners
Figward says:
plus, tv which offends can be "good" tv... gets good ratings? D:
nighstar mayfair says:
who cant understand the shows anyway so its ok!
:p
Figward says:
^^; @ tv ad for betty crocker cupcakes :P
nighstar mayfair says:
sigh sigh
i feel like posting this convo to lj so i can remember how idiotic crap here can be once i`m gone. D;
Figward says:
^^;
nighstar mayfair says:
BETTY CROCKER HELL YEAH
edit: and now, like 20mins later after the subject had finally changed, they go back to it again and someone smells her hair and is like "god, it stinks! *completely serious* (laughter by everyone else)" to the poor girl`s dismay...
i really dont like how comedy on tv in Japan is often at the expense of someone else... >_>
