Japanese pranks ROCK!
I'll go look for more videos but the internet is on a super go slow at the moment.
Prolly the entire country trying to kill that last hour before going home...

What I find really odd about the Japanese, is that they have no qualms about doing things to people that would get them sued in the western world. :p

[Hoss]

Brilliant!

Hahah, imagine you grabbed some oke and started lobbing them around in America!! sued instantly!

That's probably why it's so funny - but it looks like the japanese (even though they are the cruelest race in the world, even worse than the chinese or the koreans) at least have a sense of humour - for instance, whose seen MOST EXTREME ELIMINATION CHALLENGE? Man, that show rocks! Here's another funny little japanese video:

Reminds me of watching Takishi's Castle in Germany...that's one wild show...You got to hand it to the Japanese, they have raised humiliation to an art form.

I vaguely remember a story a while back where the Japanese government had to cancel a game show after some people nearly died or something. The game show wanted to go on and could not really see what was the issue.

Smints & Gus, you have the same show - but The MAN channel bought takeshis castle and redubbed the entire thing, and now it's called THE MOST EXTREME ELIMINATION CHALLENGE!
It's the funniest thing ever, with people riding on pink surfboards, running into walls and getting all dressed up in some classic costumes

Thanks Sminty and Blinky. Watched a bit on youtube. Some of those people are hitting sharp edges real hard. Looks like broken bone stuff at the minimum.

[senorblinky]

And although it's harsh, it's still pretty funny, don't you think?
I mean, the fact that they're doing it WILLINGLY!

[gus]

Yes, doing it willingly and for nearly no prize money. And it sounds like only two persons ever won the measly prize in the history of the show.
