As far as seeing it on Japanese TV, I guess if that's what Japanese people find funny then that's okay. Unfortunately this comedy falls into the "beating a dead horse" category for me. Even if I found crossdressing shenanigans funny in the first place, it would have gotten old by now simply because of how much they show it on TV, like eating food and such.

I've wondered if it was meant to fall under the social tolerance of liberal values which are being adopted by the media in Japan, but then it just feels to me like it's doing more of a disservice to open sexuality than anything...
What I mean is,
If I were gay, seeing this on tv wouldn't make me in any way feel safer or more comfortable coming out of the closet...
