Mexican TV Continues Being Pure Awesome (Except for All the Damn Mexicans)

What if you're really into LARPing (live action role playing -- sort of like taking D&D to the next level by throwing in some sexual asphyxia while you're rolling dice) but aren't really active or athletic enough to wield a foam-rubber sword and scamper around someone's patio doing bad British accents?

How about we take all social activity and physical activity out of the whole thing, too, so you can watch it on TV? Alone, in the darkness, with no friend in the world but your lonely morbidity?

Sounds great. So here's a Mexican TV show which has turned LARPing into a game show, where you collect (and this part, I admit, gives me a throbbing nerd-on) real silver pieces as your prizes.

Asgaard. I wonder if that's how the Mexicans really spell Asgard, or if the habit of tasteless vowel-mutations to indicate fantasy (or heavy metal album titles) is now a Mexican practice as well.

Also, Scandis invent the worst music form in the world, some kind of fusion of Eurobubble synthpop and Insane Clown Posse.

Both thanks to MattM.
