Think about it. It's pure social Darwinism. If you are a Japanese ad-man, with only 15 seconds to catch a viewer's attention, in an environment soaked with madly clever advertising, you quickly learn to be as crazy as possible.

So the Japanese version of Mad Men would more likely be a mix of deep atmospheric drama with animated sequences of vintage ads involving robots and men in monster suits...and some sort of lolita secretary. It'd be kinda like Seijun Suzuki meets Yasujiro Ozu with a new generation flair...oh and with a j-pop jazz fueled opening! It would also be called SUPER CRAZY MEN OF HAPPY HAPPY TV MEDIA COMPANY. Japan always gets the weirdest mascots...like Pepsiman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTGifrYPTas There is enough general weirdness in Japan that it’s the only country where David Lynch would simply be another voice in the crowd.
