Here's a clip from a Japanese TV show that sends a fake gang of murderous Samurai after the world champion race walker to find out if he will run or walk quickly from the perceived threat. Link

How come we don't see this on american tv. I for one would welcome a clip of Lance Armstrong being chased by vampire bikers (scare tactics ftw).

This show was in the US with subtitles for awhile. They called it Hey! Spring of Trivia, if memory serves. I think it's off the air now in Japan. I haven't seen it for awhile.

That's actually pretty funny. I laughed, quite literally, out loud, so to speak.
