Well, I laughed, so it got the job done. In fact, it was really fucking funny. But other things have made me laugh just as much and not been harmful to others like that. Still.... LOOK AT HIS FACE!
Like that. This didn't actually hurt anybody.Tdc2182 said:
Man, Japan lives on this shit.
They have one of the world's highest employment rates which means the population spends its lives bleakly toiling away for their corporate masters.
It makes sense that their entertainment is a little more over-the-top to compensate.
You should see some of the ones where guys in saunas get launched outdoors on rocket-propelled massage chairs. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMqs-PTyuz4]
We got enough gun nuts and religious fanatics and the cable news stations to cover them to keep the masses entertained daily with pure, grim, and wild REALITY!!!
Plus that, and yeah, we "politically correct" everything to death.

We don't have this kind of shit in America because this kind of shit actually happens over here.mrfft said:

All I know was the guy was saying something along the lines of "Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me." at the endMaxTheReaper said:
I understand that this sort of thing is supposed to be funny. But coming from an area where almost every year while deer hunting someone gets shot out of anger. I think that this goes WAY to far. Sure it was funny but Knowing what it is like to have a bullet hit a tree next to you isn't my way of having a good laugh.
You know, I want to say this is absolutely terrible. I really do. The only problem is, I couldn't help but laugh at what was going on. I think I learned more about my sense of humor than I wanted to...
How about the author of this article stop whining about japanese shows and whine about scare-tactics first, a western show that had a girl think she killed an innocent boy right before her eyes with her own hands.
Yeah so this was awesome. It's the same as when people pretend their monsters. You dont think in your head 'Oh but there's no such thing as monsters'. No, if done right you will think nothing but 'Ohhcrapahmgonnadieocrap'. Yet no one whines about this crap on teh internets about scarring people and crap.
would've been awesome if they made a huge pyrotechnic boom come like a gunshot sound when he had the gun pointed at him and I bet he would've passed out.

I do. Best. Show. Ever. And they basically do the exact same thing that these guys did.624 said:
The only reason people in America would be offended by this as opposed to anything else is that getting killed by some gun wielding maniac in America is an actual possibility.
