I don’t know why and I’m not here to judge, but Japan is obsessed with Speedo-clad body builders and placing them in homoerotic situations. Fortunately, unlike Japan’s fascination with panty-showing preteen schoolgirls, this trend allows the rest of us to laugh without feeling the least bit creepy. It still makes me feel vaguely uncomfortable though, but that’s possibly more the fault of the Speedos than anything.
This brings me to the latest piece of homoerotica for your home video game system, care of Pixelated Geek:
I have no idea what the name of this game is, but from what I know of Japanese video game naming conventions and their subsequently sub-par translations, let’s call it “Super Happy Muscle Fun Time Love.” Another example of WiiWare at its finest and most bizarre, “Super Happy Muscle Fun Time Love” seems to ask the player to compete against similary Speedo-clad muscle-bound specimens in a race against a giant Speedo-wearing polar bear. It’s completely rooted in the real world as you can tell, with enough rainbows and sparkles to entice the preschool crowd — which brings me to the question: who the hell in Japan plays these games?
Answer: Me, if I lived in Japan.

Have you ever seen “Hard Gay”. That’s the epitome of “big muscle building macho” stuff. Pretty funny sometimes.
