If you feel that the game cheapens your own (impressive, no doubt) talents, that's really your problem. It's a game, get over it. (BTW, I've never actually played it and don't intend to, I just really hate that complaint because it's incredibly stupid) Hey Nick, no one actually plays Guitar Hero instead of learning to play an actual guitar, they play Guitar Hero instead of playing another game.

I was hoping that they wouldn't be able to get the plungers off and that they would be left with a giant, horribly disfiguring hickey. How disappointing. Oh well. Better luck next time, I guess. Aww.

The show is called "Wetten, dass...", which can be translated to "I bet, that...". The show's entire premise is smalltalk with (international?) stars, who want to promote their new film/album/relationship and betting. Sorry for my bad english.

It's about the same as playing Guitar Hero. You can get as good as you want, but you'll only be about as good as this 9-year old kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WZSXCKK3bU And, you'll get about the same amount of fame: YouTube and maybe a guest shot of G4 or something. So, power to the people who find excellence in odd things. One day we'll outgrow the playskool guitars and start throwing plungers at people instead. (Yes, I am cracking on people who waste their time with guitar hero and rock band instead of learning to play a real instrument.) Bottom line: Simpson's Rule The throwing plungers at people’s backs is only odd because it’s not mainstream. It’s about the same as playing Guitar Hero.
