11/12   Go out and rent this Japanese (non-anime) movie called Battle Royale
        Seriously f.u. sh*t
        \_ From http://www.imdb.com "Ninth grade students are taken to a small
           isolated island with a map, food and various arms. They have to
           fight each other three days long until the last one remains and are
           forced to wear a special collar which will explode when they break a
           rule."  What kind of movie is that!!??
        \_ Y'know, they Japanese have some pretty fucked up shit. There was
           this one variety show (with lots of comedy, singing, stupid games,
           etc), where they brought a kid (about 5yrs old), and told him his
           mother died, just to see his reaction. The kid was still bawling
           after they told him it was a joke.
        \_ Varietion of the same theme ala Lord of the Flies by William
           Golding.  Nothing seems all that original.
           \_ At least LotF was a commentary on human nature. This movie
              makes Hollywood seem comparitively sophisticated.
              \_ Phah.  LotF was William Golding parroting the Bible's views
                 on human nature... badly I might add.
        \_ different culture == different humour. I bet Afghan Comedy Channel
           has wife beating stuff in it.
