Not a film idea, actually true according to a few people I checked with. Or maybe it's the Japanese version of an Urban Legend. I didn't check with any Yakuza.

japanese entertainment in general is good for about fifteen minutes for kitsch value, and then i get sick of it.

yes, it was. the thought of watching japanese programming for kitsch value is decidedly unappealing.

oh, come on! i once saw a program taped from japanese television that featured "volleyball", japanese television style. they had all these guys on the one "team" squat down on top of these big pillar things, and then people from the other "team" would take turns hucking volleyballs at them, trying to knock them off the pillars. it was quite a moment.

Okay, see I have a thing against their cartoons. Not their game shows.

"In America, game show reward cleverness. In Japan, Game show PUNISH IGNORANCE."

lol i love their culture. like, they lose on a game show, they commit hari kari. we lose on a game show, we either sue, start our own spinoff game show, or pose naked in playboy.

one thing you gotta give it up for, though, is IRON CHEF. that show is TEH SHIT!!!!!!11!!!@!@!!!!1!!!

I did that on some other board. I'd say whatever I wanted to say - translate it to german then translate it back to english and say it. Did that with every post. Man it was fun... Had everyone convinced I was some crazy foreign guy.

My sig was:

"A time that I was walking for the park but then I count the man close for his top face and he throws me. The end.
