Apparently it's getting a huge reaction from the autism community, parents especially.I assume that's where most of the orders are coming from.

If I had something like that in school, I bet it would have taken the edge off my ADD. I'm one of those weirdos that can't read in silence but I can do 2-3 things simultaneously with high accuracy.

If you had something like that in school, your teachers would have taken it away from you because you were playing with a toy in class.

I know a blind person that would love something like this, so there may be a market there as well. It's definitely a great product that can be fun while also helping certain individuals.

Every now and then on the Gaki no Tsukai Batsu games they won't tell celebrities that something is going to happen to them. Like what they did to Yūya Yagira.

Gooncam keeps breaking on me when I try to save the rest of the scene, but it's from the Detective punishment game. They drive over Hamada and Yagira, then set off an explosion that startles Yagira. He also got punished by Egashira 2:50.

Couple of years later, they contacted a couple of celeb women he had tried to get with (by using his status as a celebrity) and staged a fake trial to reveal the horny text messages he had sent each of them.

His family and ex-wife are watching in the audience

oh no they(mother, father, brother and ex-wife) were literally sitting maybe a foot away behind him while he had his entire illicit sex life detailed out, and then egashira farts powder into his face

it's my favorite batsu moment because I can't think of any way to be more embarrassed about anything ever

Sometimes but not always. Some are staffed by known celebrities but aren't necessarily told what is going to happen. People just like seeing someone like Brad Pit get scared/embarrassed on TV. America did it with Punk'd so let's not pretend we're immune.
Some people volunteer to be on a show without any real knowledge of what will happen on the off-chance they will become famous for it. Which, to be fair, is a reasonable bet considering how MASSIVELY popular these shows tend to be.
Shows like the Batsu Games are fun because they happen only a couple times a year (sometimes only once), are a huge event and usually runs for like eight hours. Plus every celebrity comes out for a skit or game and people go wild for it.
Imagine Drew Cary showing up in a dress to recite flowery poetry to John Stamos about how he is a terrible lover and Stamos is not allowed to laugh or else someone comes out and kicks him in the rear end. Who wouldn't watch that at every opportunity?!

Recently Japan has had to make laws on what the upper-limits should be for game shows after that one guy lived in isolation for months on live TV and could only get food if a certain sports team won a game. That's not the first time this has happened and it's a weird and hosed up social experiment. It's like the designers of Vault-Tec ran a country.

I think the places you are most likely to see these road trains are on roads that are straight, desolate and go on for hundreds of miles so it wouldn't be that big of deal to pass.

I remember an episode of QI where Ross Noble talks about a tour of Australia he did and one of the roads he drove on the SatNav told him to drive straight ahead for 2 days and then turn left (and then he missed the turn when it eventually came up lol)
