  • pirlok, on 08/19/2008, -0/+80The Japanese have the craziest ideas in the world...
  • CristianRaiber, on 08/19/2008, -1/+46Was that a bunny head the referee was wearing?
  • SVOboy, on 08/19/2008, -0/+28Haha, I was wondering if this clip would ever turn up on digg. The old man ref is the guy from the "Battle Royale" movie, in case you're trying to place his face.
  • Fatcheeseguy, on 08/19/2008, -1/+23This would be an awesome Olympic sport even with the striped uniforms.
  • inactive, on 08/19/2008, -2/+23I am Asian, i do not consider myself particularly crazy but the things we do might be construed by others as crazy, like eating dog
  • drizzlelicious, on 08/20/2008, -0/+21I'm also asian, and you're crazy for eating dog.
  • shortricekid, on 08/20/2008, -1/+15I want to petition this as a new Olympic sport
  • rabatjoie, on 08/20/2008, -0/+14It's Takeshi Kitano, who is not only an actor but also a brilliant director (Hana-Bi, Brother, Zatoichi): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001429/ He's also the guy behind "Takeshi's Castle", a Japanese game show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeshi%27s_Castle
  • ReDBuLLCuRT, on 08/20/2008, -0/+14Right you are, Ken.
  • elshizzo, on 08/20/2008, -3/+16This is older than John McCain
  • inactive, on 08/20/2008, -0/+13Dugg for the one commentator from MXC, Vic Romano.
  • stackolee, on 08/20/2008, -0/+11Dugg for "Beat" Takeshi Kitano.
  • SolarPandaBot, on 08/20/2008, -1/+10I never understood why eating dog is so crazy except for the fact that they aren't genetically modified to be delicious
  • fhernand, on 08/20/2008, -2/+10it looked more like a bat's head.. surely a tribute to the dark knight..

    or a high priest of a bat cult, inspiring the players to evoke their sonar ping abilities
  • r0b0, on 08/20/2008, -0/+8The only difference is its much more entertaining.
  • georgemason01, on 08/19/2008, -3/+11Older than time itself.
  • Oppslagsverk, on 08/20/2008, -0/+7You're doomed to burial when you say that in a community where the vast majority is western men.
  • StevieJanowski, on 04/02/2009, -0/+7 long till one of them gets hit in the face and pops a eye out
  • wtfmate112, on 08/20/2008, -0/+7I swear the Japanese are ten years ahead of us.
