Japanese game show: silent torture

Picture 3-15 Silent Library is a Japanese game show where the players have to remain silent as they are forced to eat a huge wad of wasabi, get slapped in the face by a machine, get their ear gummed by a dour old man, get hit in the butt with a baseball bat, or -- shown here -- inhale "bad smell air."
