More YouTubes

I promise not to only post YouTube videos all the time...but seeing as it's my life's work to explore the differences between world cultures, it's my duty as a citizen to share two gems from the fabulous world of Japanese television.

Many of you may already have seen the first example, Human Tetris. I love this game and I hope that it eventually makes its way onto our airwaves. Then, a colleague of mine who lived in Japan for a year told me about Silent Library, part of a TV variety show. The participants draw lots to see who has to participate in each "punishment"...but since it's in a library, they all need to keep very, very quiet. It's long, but oh, so worth it. Both of these made me laugh so hard I cried. Enjoy.
