Who cleaned the shit out of the cab afterward? :)

it was probably flung out the broken doors during the rollovers. :D

I just like the ending... was that 600 yen the driver was asking for?

There's a reason that wouldn't happen in the US. It's because if I was the guy in the backseat, I'd have SUED the people involved.

Yeah, but you have no sense of humour.

Sue them for what?

the Japanese should control the worlds media!

It makes a good point of wearing a seatbelt you never no what might happen

Maybe with the money you get, you could go out and buy yourself a sense of humor.

Add a 'random' before 'entertainment'.

Yep.

I like when he drives through the flames and the guy starts screaming that the car's on fire.
That bit and the driving sideways.

Damn good driver.

Don't you mean 'scaring the shit out of some poor sod for the sake of a few chuckles' is their middle name?

I totally would have tipped that guy, he deserved it. He was bad ass. I mean, c'mon, if you live in Japan-or even the States, if your haven't realised you're on a prank show the second it's revealed that the cabbie has a racing harness installed in the middle of the back seat-no matter what excuse he gives for it being there-then...well, I guess really the kind of person they want to catch on a prank show now that I think about it.

Unfortunaely, Gun Manuufacturers is correct. A prank like that wouldn't even be tried on an unsuspecting mark in the States. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Whiplash deluxe.

But that's NOT a good thing! That is a weakness in the American culture and a strength in the Japanese culture that they can laugh enough at their own absurdity to shake off a few bruises and aches and enjopy the show. *nod*

Damn, that was cold. I thought the guy was going to have a heart attack. Would love to have a translation of what was being said.

LOL, awesome!

agreed - I particularly liked the one where they had some guy have sex with a women and then reveal that he is on a prank show and just had sex with a post-op. that guy had a really good sense of humor.
