The Japanese are crazy. But what’s even crazier are their games. Seriously, no one thinks of wackier, stupider, and more idiotic things to do with themselves than the Japanese. Some of their shows have made it to the U.S., like SpikeTV’s MXC gameshow, which is actually an Americanized dubbing of the popular Japanese Takeshi’s Castle, starring Japanese movie superstar Takeshi Kitano. Here’s one of the Japanese’s wackier shows — a human version of the computer game Tetris. Basically, a contestant has to stand in front of a pool of water and wait for a tetris piece to be unveiled. Once that happens, the piece moves toward them, and the contestant has to conform his body shape to — well, it’s a little hard to explain, but if you don’t do it right, you get pushed into the water. It’s wet and stupid fun, courtesy of Japan.
