Yes, sorry about that, but it is so hard to find any interesting normal clips as Finns are either sitting quietly (having hangover) or doing something crazy, there is nothing between these options :lol:

Well, my japanese is bit rusty (I never had learned even single character), but I do believe it is one of their weird tv-shows where ppl do something really stupid and try to win money or other prizes that way, usually I however miss true purpose of those, but still they look really funny.

There was one quiz and if one answered wrong he got launched to sea with a catapult, yes a REAL catapult (As used at times of King Arthur, according to Defender of the crown :lol: ), too bad I have no link for that, crazy stuff.

This has been updated with lot more videos it seems, no need to sleep now :P

Is it a bird, is it a plane - no, just a complete nutter. Actually I does look rather fun - hummm if I wasn't immensely fat and heavy, hummm hum.

The nips really have developed public self harm into an art form though!!
