Charts and graphs and people in suits reading off teleprompters? Yawn. South Korean television networks know how to keep election coverage entertaining—with zany, video-game-like animations. On SBS broadcasts, candidates’ heads have been plopped into jousting matches, pogo stick competitions, Gangnam Style marathons and Raiders of the Lost Ark-type quests as the results come in. While some say the graphics are over the top and distracting, I can’t stop watching. Maybe American news networks should try it. Who wouldn’t have tuned in to a Barack and Mitt pillow fight?
