I can hear my mom now, "It's not weird, it's just different!"
But no, Japan is genuinely weird. Last night I watched a dating game show called "London Hearts." They line up two guys on camera, and have the audience (all girls) vote for which guy is better looking. Then the contestant (also a girl) has to pick which guy was more popular with the girls. This wouldn't be as weird if the guys weren't wearing nothing but speedos, and the camera didn't zoom in on their *ahem* packages. The guys appear on giant tvs in the studio, so their groins are about 30 square feet, each.
