Soccer's pretty cool, right? And everyone knows that demolition derby is awesome. Fortunately for us, some enterprising folks in Japan combined these two events into pretty much the best thing ever: car soccer.

As a good friend of mine once said, "That whole damn island is off
its nut."
Man, I've really gotta go to Japan some day.

That was hilarious. I watched the whole thing, and then another one until somebody scored a goal. It was glorious. Well worth those fifteen minutes of my life.

Someone needs to invent an instrumental rock-n-roll genre around this sport.

yeah, instead of that crazy "reverb unit" surfers use to make the guitar sound like its gurgling underwater, they can use an effect that makes the guitar sound like its being kicked around by cars!

Warren,
I think I might have to trump you with the best idea ever. While car soccer is pure genius, nothing beats:
Japanese. Bikini. Rodeo. Pie-fighting.
It's a toss up, really, but I just had to share.

I've seen that one, and yeah, it's pretty damn spectacular. I should edit the topic's title so that is says "Best. Idea. Ever*."
*Not counting ideas which involve scantily clad women.

Maybe it can be a Golf Rock spin-off. Rather than "Fore" followed by a pickslide, I think songs would have to start with "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL," then excited Japanese yammering, and <u>then</u> the pickslide.

Bill and Warren, you guys really have too much time on your hands, or get distracted very easily.
Both of those I would loosely call sports, but are funny.
One thing my brother said, the Japanese girls need to be on real rodeo
bull riding machines.

I can't speak for Bill (or his ass), but in my case it's definitely a little from column A and a little from column B.
But as long as we're on the topic of Japanese TV and how it completely houses American TV, here's pretty much the greatest reality show ever: A guy loses a bet and has to live in a house for one day. While there, he has to complete a series of basic tasks, like getting the newspaper, making breakfast, etc. Simple, right? There's one small catch: the entire time he's being followed around by people (wearing black robes, no less) who throw pies at him. Constantly.
Here's part one:

There's two more parts, which you can get to from the links alongside the video.

Yeah, I'm pretty much with Warren -- apparently it's a frighteningly common theme among grad students.
You just have to know where to look (an being scarcely employed helps).
