one new television show in Japan
boasts young women in bikinis
who attempt to smash aluminum cans
in between their breasts
another television show in Japan
brings a young boy on stage
to tell him his mother
has been shot and killed
to see how long it takes him
to cry
I wonder what they’d think
of Rosanne
and Married With Children
