A Diplomatic Solution

[blue_aardvark]

Japan and China are bickering over a couple of uninhabited islands off their coasts.  Normally I don't like to interject myself into other people's arguments, but I think I have the perfect way to resolve the dispute, without a loss of life, and moreover in a way that would benefit (or at least entertain) all mankind.  Have Japanese and Chinese

"Have Japanese and Chinese robots fight each other on the island for its control! Have a Robot War! On Robot Island!"

I actually could see both countries going for this idea ;-)

The money that could be generated would be astronomical--TV rights, toy lines, apparel, not to mention corporate sponsorships.

I might write to the Japanese embassy, just to see what happens. (I know that there is zero chance that this idea will come to pass though.)

You may end up celebrated by the Japanese for the idea...or labeled a terrorist. Livin' dangerously, yup. ;-P

It's too good an idea for them to do it. You might want to try to contact both the Japanese and the Chinese though.

Ninja Warrior is such a wankfest. I can't believe you're advocating violence and war. Why can't international disputes be settled the sensible way, with a friendly game of rock paper scissors??

Now how would that be entertaining to the average domestic television viewer? Maybe strip rock/paper/scissors?

[newmistakes]

That's too saucy - maybe literal rock paper scissors?? Then we'll see at last if paper really does beat rock!

I've always wondered about that. Maybe instead rock/paper/scissors/lizard/Spock?
