Before Fear Factor and Crazy Taxi

There was this insane taxi. This just re-inforces that every concept US television networks have come up with now were done in Japan and Europe before and are only insane spinoffs of what Americans did before, remember American Gladiators?

Btw, at the end from what someone on another forum where I got this link from stated that the driver telling him ""that will be $36.80," thats is the charge translated to USDs.

In case you need someone to tell it to you it appears that the girlfriend/fiance/friend whatever of this guy arranged this taxi driven by a stunt driver to pick him up and take him on this ridiculous ride. Also, its a fact that most commercial ideas, technologies in the 20th century were developed by an American company or indivisual were used in a limited sense in the US before jumping to the "next best thing" or not used here at all while other countries applied it, improved upon it and then brought it here. Just compare American Gladiators to the Japanese based Xtreme Elimination and tell me how there is absolutely no difference, also look up OFDM on Google while you're at it too.

Can we please leave much of the philosophical chat in the Politics part of the forum, even though I started it. Also there is a good saying which I slightly altered for the net, sometimes if you have nothing good to state don't state it, yeesh.
