Does this Japanese Reality TV Sniper Prank Cross a Line?

[sunami88]

Saw this on CH the other day, and yes. It does indeed cross a line.

That doesnt stop it from being funny, but still, I kinda had to feel bad for the guy. Especially when the "gunman" came in the room. If it had been me on that show you would've seen someone wet their pants on live TV.

 

[Arrers]

That was fucking hilarious.

I wish I could understand Japanese.

From my understanding (and guesstimation) he saying the usual stuff you say during a sinper attack. Y'know "Holy Shit!", "Run away!!" and, of course "Let me the hell outta here!!!".

Monday night, lecture tomorrow morning.

About drunk enough to kill a large dog or a moderately sized pony?

You're either absurdly fat or Irish.

Well I'm neither. Yorkshireman, born and bred. On the topic of bread, I could go for a sammich right about now.

 

[The Kangaroo]

I'm pretty sure that's illegal as in to put someone in fear for their life, even if there was no danger, you can be arrested

They have vending machines that sell panties.

I stand corrected?

 

[lord canti]

As funny as it is this is going to far.

 

[CoziestPigeon]

Wow, that's crossing the line for sure. I mean, jeeze, how you would react? If that were me, I'd probably have wet my pants.

This would be an acceptable situation to punch the guy directly in the mouth. If someone in North America tried to pull this off, there would be hundreds of lawsuits.

 

[The Kangaroo]

I dunno.
I'm just saying: Laws aren't the same over there as they are in sane countries.
Countries that don't produce tentacle porn in great enough amount to overshadow the GNP of 3rd world nations.

Fair enough it's just that a guy up the road from me (hated the bastard, he stole my bike)was jailed for putting an old woman in fear of her life.

 

[IckleMissMayhem]

They're going to hell aren't they?
So am I for laughing, right?
Oh well...

 

[thatstheguy]

I think Japanese people are used to this sort of thing by now. They also seem to take a joke better than most other people.

 

[Amnestic]

Well I'm neither. Yorkshireman, born and bred. On the topic of bread, I could go for a sammich right about now.

You're a terrier?

What the fuck, dude?
Allow me to welcome you on behalf of all of my peoples.
Can I fetch for you some kibble, Ambassador?

I make it a rule to never turn down free food, even if it is just so I can shove it in your face later.

Everyone knows that Kibble is the 23rd most deadly assassination weapon known to man.

I hate the concept of hidden camera shows, and this has to be the worst one I've seen. Reality tv and contests are fine, because the participants have agreed to do it. In a hidden camera show, the participant has no choice whatsoever as to whether or not he wants to be subjected to whatever treatment is in store for him. At best, it should be considered harassment. At worst, like in this case, it's nothing less than abusive and should result in some serious jailtime for the offenders.

It would certainly be a life affirming situation for the people involved. Realizing just how frail reality can truly be and just how powerful actual terror feels (coming from a guy who has had someone break into his house before while he was home).

... How are you comparing that kind of terror to someone breaking into your house?

That's like saying you think more people should get cancer, so they learn to appreciate life properly. And you know what you're talking about, because you've had the flu.

Fair enough it's just that a guy up the road from me (hated the bastard, he stole my bike)was jailed for putting an old woman in fear of her life.

Huh.
Seems a bit silly to me.

It's not like she even died.

Well she fell and broke like 4 ribs

 

[PyroZombie]

This was hilarious, if there is no present danger, then no.

However if this was a real sniper attack, done with real bullets that could have fragmented then it does cross the line a tad.

 

[riskroWe]

Not that bad, kinda reminds me of a show I once saw on fox. Can't remember the name, but it was the same sorta thing.

This would be an acceptable situation to punch the guy directly in the mouth. If someone in North America tried to pull this off, there would be hundreds of lawsuits.

If my friend did this to me, I'd kick him in the nuts

 

[bowserboy26578]

well I don't know if it's really crossing the line or not, but it definitely crosses some hairs. ha, cross hairs.
sorry. but yeah that really seems like abit much, even Scare Tactic wasn't that harsh, or was it
