Something Must Be Wrong With Me

For some reason, I'm watching TV, something something Cherry Pie, and there's an American guy on TV, which would usually prompt me to change the channel immediately. Usually every foreigner on TV in Japan acts like an idiot to reinforce stereotypes (Bobby?) or is there just to be made fun of by the Japanese hosts. This guy Pakkun, although undoubtedly a tool, for some reason doesn't cause me to hate him immediately. I'm more just... kinda jealous that I can't speak Japanese well enough to be on TV.
