G4TV Pushes Ninja Show with Playground Pastime

G4TV just kicked off a promotional campaign for a show called Ninja Warriors, which is supposed to be really hot in Japan (where it is called Sasuke).

Entitled Rock Paper Scissors, the spot allegedly features actual Shaolin monks. We seriously doubt that because Shaolin monks don’t douche around on game show ads; they sit in stone temples and crush bone with their minds. Anyway, the spots are very Kill Bill meets Bud Light.

72andSunny did the work, and there are three more videos to anticipate, slated for April’s end – which would be about nowish.

Didn’t ninjas go extinct in 2006?
