Wow, Japanese people are weird. Honestly, who thinks "Hey, we should have this enormous tug-of-war competition with a rope that weighs thousands of pounds! Now that's a good idea! :stick:

But hey, bring me home one of those naked vans! Quality stuff. :lol:

It has some sort of tradition behind it. Something to do with the battle of the samurai's before they were killed off I think. In the opening ceremony, some people dressed up like samurai's meet at the center of the rope and do a little act, and then the gold ball blows off and the tugging begins. You may think it's weird, but it was really cool and a tradition of theirs based off something in their history.

They do have a parade/festival basically worshiping the penis! I saw a show about it on the Discovery Channel or or National Geographic channel. It was actually quite interesting, they had parade floats, lolli-pops, etc. all in the shape of a penis.
