Hole In The Wall

As I was watching the Cowboys game this past Sunday, I noticed an ad for a new T.V. show that has somehow met T.V.'s already incredibly low standards. The show is called "Hole In The Wall", which is a spin off on a Japanese T.V. show. 

The synopsis of this clever program is for people who are desperate for attention to try and contort their bodies to fit through a moving wall. And if they don't succeed then they will be pushed into a pool of water losing both their dryness and dignity. One episode was named so quaintly "The Beer Bellies versus the Six Packs." 

The chances of these people making it through the wall seems slim to none, thus lots of wipe-out and lots of humiliation. And the contestants look equally as ridiculous trying to twist their flabby bodies through these awkwardly shaped holes. Unfortunately that is what Joe American seems to be demanding these days, since similar shows have recently been aired like "Wipe Out" and "I Was On A Japanese Game Show." Am I surprised that the American shrine known as Television created such as show, but I still can't help but feel disappointed.
