Of COURSE this a sport in Japan, because why wouldn’t it be? The Japanese have the ability to elevate anything and everything to Lynchian levels of absurdity. Here we have a couple dozen school boys walking, just walking, to the delight of the spectators. Then they start mixing it up by bowing and putting on jackets and walking in backwards formations, and if you stick around you WILL laugh, you WILL gasp, and you WILL think long and hard about starting a synchronized walking team of your own. Because gay dodgeball is SOOOO 2008. It’s all about synchronized walking in 2011, darling.
