Casting Call!

Hey, guess what’s never going to work in America?

HUMAN TETRIS!!

But they’re casting for it!

The TV phenomenon sweeping the world is making its way to America!! This project is the most downloaded Japanese game ever on the net. Now FremantleMedia (producers of American Idol, America’s Got Talent, and The Price Is Right) along with a major American television network are looking for trios (friends, co-workers, spouses, etc.) to take part in one of the most outrageous, funny, and challenging game shows ever seen on television.

$$$$$ 50,000 in Cash & Prizes $$$$

In order to apply you must assemble a team of 3 people. They can be anyone in your life (co-workers, friends, family, etc). We are looking for men and women 18 years old and up of all shapes and sizes. The more VISUALLY DIVERSE the better. All teams must be either ALL Female OR ALL Male!

To submit online please send 1 current photograph of you and your teammates, a brief explanation of how you all know each other, along with your contact information

Jesus Lord, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Americans are way too smart for this!

It’ll never work. (Please, America, don’t let this work. Prove me right here. I mean, I’m all about Tetris, but seriously … let it remain a video game. You want $50K? GO TO COLLEGE!)

And, in case anyone forgot how amazing the original Tetris was, here’s the theme song, played on soda bottles, because Americans can achieve anything they set their minds to.

  • Lol I can bet with you that it’s going to work in your country. Why not? You already have the dumbiest TV shows on TV. If Extreme Makeover works in the US, I really don’t understand how this wall game won’t work….. Yeah it’s a shame but US TV is really poor, except concerning the TV series!

  • WTF?

    Just gouged my eyes out with tiny corn forks. Is less painful then watching that show.

    And Extreme Makeover is a tribute to everything America stands for. Awww, bless.

  • OMG Ive seen this shit along time ago when I first started studying japanese. Its the japanese that come up with these shitty Half-Baked I deas to make people act more retarted than they already are.

    But who’s going to pass up free money?

  • Have you ever watched the movie Idiocracy? When I first saw it, I thought it was simply retarded. Now, I believe it’s an eerie harbinger of doom. Jesus FUCKtard…

  • idiocracy, lol! ow my balls! that movie was hilarious and soooooo relevant as we can see from this post. . .

  • I didn’t watch the video originally because I considered this to be the human tetris: http://youtube.com/watch?v=G0LtUX_6IXY and had a big wtf moment. A show with that concept would be almost as lame as the show they’re making. And what’s with the foreign dude singling out Extreme Makeover? You can’t knock Home Edition and all the people that the tacky sponsoring and product placement has helped. I assume you don’t have access to the dingleberry of television: The Hills.
