Normally, I avoid most programming on MTV. because shows like Real World make me want to vomit. Seriously. However, from time to time I manage to find a rare gem of a program. Although it is just starting it's second season, I had not yet witnessed the incredible absurdity of Wonder Showzen. The entirety of season one aired over the last several days, and today marks the second season premiere. If anything can sell you on looking this show up (or running kicking and screaming, or both), it has to be the disclaimer at the start of the program:
WARNING
WONDER SHOWZEN CONTAINS OFFENSIVE,
DESPICABLE CONTENT THAT IS TOO
CONTROVERSIAL AND TOO AWESOME FOR
ACTUAL CHILDREN. THE STARK, UGLY,
PROFOUND TRUTHS WONDER SHOWZEN
EXPOSES MAY BE SOUL CRUSHING TO THE
WEAK OF SPIRIT. IF YOU ALLOW A CHILD
TO WATCH THIS SHOW, YOU ARE A BAD
PARENT OR GUARDIAN.

But, if you're willing to get past all of that, you're probably equipped to enjoy the show.
