Jesus, do they think they're Tony Abbot? I like raw onion (it's super good in a salad), but eating a whole one on its own? Or drinking the juice? :wtc:

My grandfather would occasionally eat a raw onion. I think it was because he couldn't really taste anything other than super strong flavors at that point. He was also an rear end in a top hat, just wanted to mention that bit.

For me the best part is that "Western civilization" can only be saved thanks to an study on rats from Islamic Azad University, located in Tehran. (And that's based on using an onion seed extract tested on rats, and has no secondary support that I can find...)

And yeah, there are some that think that it might be a troll to "flag" them. (The rest, apparently, think that they're rats.)

it seems weird from a western perspective, but then consider that slapstick never really left japanese tv as a popular comedic form and this kind of thing is super cheap to produce as a time filler

if you're doing an hour long show five or six days a week eventually you're going to run out of ideas and then it's easy to just play some child's game like king of the hill, except with inflicting injury on grown men. or, if you gently caress up the trivia question we're going to hit you in the dick with a leather belt

City infamous for entrenched corruption gets a lesson in the rule of law:

http://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans/news/courts/article_bb0e1a7a-cbe2-11e7-b17b-fb3da8139fd2.html

quote:

Every driver who paid the fine on a New Orleans traffic camera ticket in the early years of the controversial enforcement program is owed a full refund, a judge ruled this week, ordering the city to pay up to an estimated $28 million to more than 200,000 scofflaws, the lead plaintiff and attorney in a class action lawsuit said Friday.

Robert Burns, a former longtime Jefferson Parish judge who serves as the ad hoc judge over the long-running case, issued his ruling from the bench on Wednesday.

Burns ruled that the city's decision to farm out the traffic enforcement program to the Department of Public Works at the onset of the program in 2008 violated the City Charter, and that the city therefore must repay all traffic camera fines issued from January 2008 to Nov. 3, 2010, according to plaintiff's attorney Joseph McMahon.

...

All of the Civil District Court judges in New Orleans recused themselves from the case, leading the Louisiana Supreme Court to appoint Burns.

His ruling comes seven years after plaintiffs began filing lawsuits over the automated ticket program that rankles much of the city's driving public, even as the number of cameras grows. The planned addition of 55 stationary and mobile cameras this year brings the total number of traffic cameras in the city to 121, according to news reports.

Several of those lawsuits were consolidated into the case that Burns addressed in his ruling Wednesday.

The program got off to a rocky start, sparking controversy when it came to light that the Public Works Department had hired a firm headed by an NOPD captain, Edwin Hosli, that paid off-duty cops to review the camera tickets, against Police Department policy.

Hosli, a close friend of then-NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas, was later cleared of wrongdoing, but the hubbub came on the heels of a scathing U.S. Department of Justice report that portrayed the off-duty police detail program as an "aorta of corruption" on the force.

That assessment led to an overhaul of the police detail work, which is now managed by City Hall under the terms of a federal consent decree guiding a raft of NOPD reforms.

I only have canyoneyes for you

AZ shut down all the state/highway traffic cams a few years ago.
They explained that the average ticket revenue from it was like $220. Then there were court expenses and law enforcement overhead, plus paying almost half of the fine to the company that runs/services the cameras.
In the end I think they said that the net "profit" to the state from a traffic cam was something like $12 on a $220 fine. And, well, the public safety gains from having people slow down for a 1/4 mile stretch with the traffic cams probably wasn't worth it either.

the dude at the end is matsumoto hitoshi, who is one of the most well known and highest paid comedians in japan. him and the announcer dude (hamada masatoshi) are the comedy duo Downtown who created the modern japanese variety show. matsumoto is an excellent comedian and is great at stretching things out for a laugh, as well as making others (and himself) laugh

one of the things to keep in mind is that these guys are very well known and very well paid celebrities. and they're still taking nut shots wearing stupid costumes on the air. that's dedication to the art. when was the last time you saw jerry seinfeld get hit in the nuts with a leather belt?

this is my last post on japanese variety shows because it's just too easy in terms of schadenfreude but every year for a new years eve tv special, these guys do the annual batsu game (batsu = punishment) and it's really just 24 hours of elaborately constructed psychological torture edited down to a multiple hour presentation. if they laugh they get hit by a guy wielding a rubber bat, and everything in their environment is designed to make them laugh

here's a brutal clip of one of the comedians, endo shozo, dragged before his actual irl family and ex wife in a mock court where he's put on trial for being a lovely pervert who harasses women with horny sexts. this keeps happening over and over, he keeps falling into honeypots set up by the production staff and then just utterly owned every year as part of his job
