Eastern European television can be completely bonkers. My current favourite show here in Lithuania is Stresas - a game show in which contestants are simultaneously grilled and tortured. Some have tomato sauce poured all over them, some are encased in a box with excitable live chickens and others, as you can see, simply have rubber bands applied to their heads. How you're supposed to answer questions in such a condition I don't know. I guess that's what causes the stresas. I also don't understand a word of it--I'm sure it's all typically nonsensical anyway--but it's still good childish fun to watch such antics. Video clips from Stresas are available at the bottom of this page.
Also of note on Lithuaninan television at the moment is that Da Ali G Show is being screened in English. It's a treat for expats.
