This completely insane Japanese ad, promoting some kind of hair-removal product, raises an interesting point: How the hell did America miss the boat on bikini body bowling? That pretty much sums up everything we currently like about television, except for a vacuous celebrity host, who would be easy enough to add in place of that armpit-hair closeup. I'd be more than happy never seeing that again.
