and I have seen the wierd stuff as well...but the problem is this, America is a culture leach, constantly feeding off of other cultures types, japanese culture is continually growing in weirdness, and each American generation is slowly becoming more aware of it as the FCC becomes more lax. Eventually American programming will surpass it in wierdness, like Japan did to America with technology.
Besides I think England has got us all beat after the invention of the movie called, "The Yellow Submarine."
Welcome one and All to the Jesters Carnival, where the prizes are greater than your wildest dreams, but the nightmares here shall silence you before you can even scream.
