I'm laughing myself unconcious!

I am at a loss for words! Where did that COME FROM??! HAHAAA!

 

Yeah I loved that video.

Sadly they aren't a real band.

 

ah i saw that back in high schooli guess its making its way across the internet now...

back when i lived in california we'd drive to areas with lots of pedestrians and play that stuff as loud as we could on the car stereo, <sigh> those were good times.

 

your in VA? hah ha, stupid east coast fool but anyway, I was gonna listen to the music video, but the pictures alone had me bustin ribs.... :thumbup: :thumbup:

 

Given that you finished high school a few months ago, this claim isn't as good as it could be. If you finished school a few years ago, then you'd have more of a claim on the "been there, done that" attitude you're putting out.

 

ok ok, sorry, let me clarrify, i saw that two years ago in high school when i was 17. (my junior year). sorry about that, high school seems like a long time ago to me, looking at it from your perspective it does sound pretty ridiculous though. :lol: my bad.

 

That's the thing with japanese people. They generally want to have fun in the most crazy and sometimes obscene way possible. (tubgirl flashback)

It's in their culture to act wacky and while this is great for some people, they are mostly defined as pedofiles, loonies and dumbshits by foreigners.

 

That's strange: I've never gotten those impressions of the Japanese from anywhere. They've always seemed a rather stoic and steadfast people to me. That's part of the reason that I found the "Yatta!" video so hilarious. Who says the Japanese are "pedophiles, loonies, and dumbshits"??

 

That's not funny, that's really really f'd up...
quite something to come back to the forum with...

 

The Japanese do present a stoic face, but when they have fun, Jinxed is right, it is usually in the most fucked up way possible. I wouldn't say dumbshit, but, well, it can be be pretty freaky. Ever watch Japanese TV? It's all yellling and excitement, enough to overload your circuits. And well, the truth is, porn is really popular there, and underage porn is the most popular kind. The Japanese Schoolgirl Porn was not invented by westerners. In Tokyo, there are vending machines where you can anonymously buy used little girl panties. On the street. In public. And people do it. That staid Japanese businessman, when he gets off work, does not go home. He goes to a pub to impress his boss and hope for a promotion. For hours after work, he sits there in his suit, his tie being loosened by bar-girls (girls employed to flirt with rich businessmen, though not to have sex with them usually, just keep 'em drinking). Five cocktails and cockteases later, he stumbles home to his dutiful wife. Who am I to jusge, but Japanese popculture is WEIRD.

 

Some words of wisdom there labyrinthian, I agree.

I'm an anime otaku, anime, which is sometimes described as a direct reflexion of the japanese culture in many ways, has to deal with their everyday problems and overall lifestyle. I love Japan, even though they are perverted and get really carried away, they are a people that get the job done.

 

By western standards!

 

Good point. I wonder what would the Japanese say about us if they judged us by their own standards...

 

^---- My favorite part! :lol:

 

At the Blockbuster down the street, they have this video called Endurance!, I think. It's this really twisted game show which tests the contestants' endurance in ways reminiscent of Jackass. I remember that one of the games was about who could climb a rope the fastest while watermelons were being dropped on their heads and cannons fired at their asses. I think that one of the contestants had a testicle mashed by a cannonball and he just sort of fell off the rope; that was SO FUNNY! Another of the endurance tests featured two 25-foot long sashimi rolls. Each foot featured new ingredients and right at the home stretch was a foot known as "The Wasabi Zone". Both contestants actually LOOK stuffed after eating so much. This rental was totally worth it and I would recommend it to anyone above some arbitrary, impressionable age.

 

......

What the fuck was that?

I spent over 50 hours getting this thing, and I have NEVER been more confused. It's like a cross between N'Sync, stripper, and the carebears.
