Japanese Game Show Showdown

What's going on with the Japanese game show enthusiasts today? We are well aware that nobody does weird, wild and wacky like the Japanese, but the rest of the web seems to have uncovered the secret to success in that nation's competitive game show market: girls bouncing around in their underwear. Double Viking has put together a nice video collection, featuring strip wrestling, a semi-nude cooking show, and some kind of a pedometer math game (?); then our geeky brethren at Gizmodo pointed out a breast bouncing contest (with each bounce digitally monitored, of course); and finally new-ish sports blog With Leather discovers the cream of the action game show crop: bikini rodeo pie fights. We think no further description is necessary.
