I think it's a bit passe to do jokes on matters like, "this culture walks like this, and this culture talks like this." But then a friend sent me this clip via e-mail earlier this week. Blood immediately sprung from the inner recesses of my mouth. I was biting my tongue so hard.
I'd like to think that someone with a camera in their car could put together a seven minute clip of vehicular manslaughter just about anywhere on this earth. So why is it so funny when it's Asia? And from what I can tell by the language, China in particular.
These guys and gals are just trying to get to work, or to the bar, just like you and me. Though it may seem like the brake pedal was installed in their cars for lols, I'd like to point out that usually, the car with the camera in it, is usually not [grossly] disobeying any traffic laws.
That being said, this s**ts funny. And funny goes a long way with me.
FYI: If you any of you out there have footage of anyone, of any particular ethnic background, temporarily hurting themselves in a vehicle of any kind please feel free to send that to this site's e-mail [it's on the sidebar, can't miss it]. Please no gore or mamed limbs being lost. It will only get posted if I find it funny.
