I don't even know what to make of this horrible, horrible report of a Japanese game show. The show took an unwilling man and trapped him naked in a sealed apartment for a year, forcing him to enter contests to win the basic stuff of life. He was finally released but not before having been without human contact for over 8 months.
If Americans did this kind of thing to a terrorist, we'd be accused of torture and the lowest kind of ethical violations. If someone did this to a dog, PETA would be out front picketing for months at a time. But to at least one Japanese producer, this was simply entertainment.
It makes you wonder what kinds of abominations we would accept, if they are only presented as "comedy."

This does nothing to lift my current sour mood. It does confirm the Christian view that all humans are capable of (and prone to) evil.
