When Mrs. Fresh and I were stationed in Korea, we were big fans of Korean game shows. We sat down and came up with the perfect Korean game show.

A contestant has his hands tied behind his back and is lowered into a giant tank where he gets to fend off a shark while everyone else stands around and sings karaoke.

I do believe this could be readily adapted to USA standards by utilizing the latest Pit Bull dogfight craze (see Michael Vick) as a substitute for the shark tank and some good old gospel music choir singing instead of karaoke. Everybody must be legally intoxicated to participate. If gospel isn’t suitable, maybe some obeah chanting?

No, no. If the rural PA towns I grew up in are any indication of the world at large, gospel music would go over perfectly. If it gets big enough, you could even get Charlie Daniels to host. The prize could be either Chuck’s autograph or a few dog biscuits depending on who actually wins the round.
