Felix - 8:42am
This Japanese gameshow called Denpa Shonen where this guy had to survive on nothing but winnings from sweepstakes until he earned a million yen worth of prizes. They tossed him in an apartment with no food or clothes or furniture, just a little table he could sit at with a radio and postcards he could write prize entries on, and shelf full of magazines that had contests. He only ended up with like a pair of ladies underwear for clothes the whole time, and I think for most of it he ended up cooking whatever food he won in a soup can. They had to move his apartment a few times because the whole thing was being streamed live on the internet 24/7, and people in Japan were starting to figure out where he was.
In the end it took him something like a year to earn the million yen, but then they didn't even release him. They didn't even tell him he'd made it. They moved him to fucking Korea or Taiwan or something (I don't totally remember that part) and made him do it all over again in language he didn't even speak. Then when they finally let him go they acted like they were moving him to another new apartment, so he was sitting there naked, waiting for stuff to start again, and it turned out they'd just stuffed him into a tiny Japanese-apartment-sized box that they pulled away, and he was sitting in front of a live studio audience in his birthday suit.
See? This is why you should have let me have coffee all those mornings you pulled this shit. I work better caffeinated.
