Ninja Warrior
From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.
Ninja Warrior is a reality television show that airs at random times on the G4 cable network. Supposedly, the show is about a training camp in a secret location in Japan where aspiring ninjas work on their skills. In reality, the "ninja training camp" is a scam set up to bilk fanboys of their (or their parents') hard-earned money. "Trainees" are sent through obstacle courses of ever-increasing difficulty, in hopes of winning the title "Ninja Warrior" and the top prize of 3-million Japanese yen (about $25 in American money). However, the show is set up so that nobody can possibly win; survivors of previous stages are sent through challenges of increasing difficulty (and humiliation) until at last the final contestant is eliminated.
