What's this about?
The guy at the start looks at a screen, then we see images of him with switching haircuts and facepaint but don't actually see him in shot at the same time.
Then it's some woman who we see on the monitor and in shot simultaneously but she's already got a buffoon's haircut and that doesn't change on the monitor although she does have the switching facepaint going on and it looks accurately positioned on her face which is pretty smart if that's happening in real time (to be frank, if that can be applied to her face in real time then surely something could have been used that's more impressive than some manga facepaint or whatever it is - animated stuff, text, scanlines, someone elses face etc).
Then finally a quick shot of two screens, one on the right showing what appears to be some woman with a Grace Jones haircut walking down a catwalk wearing only underwear and a pair of tights (hose) on her arms, then the screen on the left showing what I assume is supposed to be the 3D version of the same thing but wearing virtual clothes. Well, it's rubbish - it looks like something from a PS1 game - have a look, scrub to the final frame...
If this is supposed to be anything other than a sloppy mock-up of a 'taste of things to come' then I'm not convinced.
On the other hand, if it's supposed to be confirmation that most Japanese TV comes from scripts created from word-association games played by people who stick their heads into a football-testing machine before shouting each word then, yes, I acknowledge that confirmation.

passwonastyboyuk - You may think I spent about 3 hours writing all of those words and spelling them all correctly, but it actually took as long for me to type it as it did for you to read it all (presuming you did).
Thanks for your advice though m8
