yes, it's misspelled intentionally. as is "Inglourious"...just like Tarantino. (this is clearly a spoof of Tarantino's film)

by the way...this is what Tarantino said about the misspelling: "Here's the thing. I'm never going to explain that. You do an artistic flourish like that, and to explain it would just take the piss out of it and invalidate the whole stroke in the first place."

Rain-X would've kept it safe.

@DJG

Not necessarily. It depends on the state, but I believe rear facing laws only extend up to 1 year old or 20 pound weight. She looks like she's in the clear on both.

@ Gary

You're right. Any structural supports of the hoop are considered out of bounds. It also looked like it might have hit the ceiling, which is also out of bounds.

However...gotta give the kid props for having the presence of mind to chuck the ball down court like that.

@neuralstatic

It isn't really about "winning"...it's about having fun...seeing who can have the most spectacular wipeout...laughing together (or rather, AT each other).

It's kinda rare that anyone really completes the tasks on these shows, but they don't care. They see an impossible task and run headlong at it anyway. Very different than the kind of game shows we have in the US. And a VERY different mindset about the whole thing.

Did anyone see the show "I Survived A Japanese Game Show" that aired last year? I couldn't stand watching it because the American participants took everything WAY too seriously.
I think the show "Wipeout" does a decent job of capturing that sort of silliness. A lot of the contestants don't take it very serious at all...at least until they make it into the later rounds. Then you see their attitude change. They start thinking about the money and start really trying. It's kinda interesting to watch the transformation.

@Bufferzz

my thoughts exactly...

@RNB
While these weren't created with software, you CAN easily achieve the same effect with the Lens Blur tool in Photoshop.

simple, yet fun...nice.
1247pts for me.

sure, some of their laughs are unusual, but that's pure joy they're expressing...and that's a beautiful thing.

@ easy_mac

I work in the RC hobby industry and some of the guys I work with do this sort of thing. It's called "3D flying" I agree it's absurd, but it's real.

They also do it with planes...but those don't jump around like the helis.

American television doesn't know how to do this sort of show. They'll spend half the show doing bio pieces on every contestant, showing their kids at home, etc.
Plus the contestants won't know how to just have fun. They'll take every game way too serious.
And I agree with DOJ...the producers will do crap like that to over-dramatize it.
