Bug Fights?!

[mgz]

Screw bug fights, let's get more of Bum Fights instead. Those are the real kicker. Not to mention that it provides homeless with a job!

fuck that why give money to the homeless when you can do it with children and have 2 times the entertainment

[AceHigh]

Because children have that stupid thing called parents or some other legal guardians. To avoid legal problems you have to stick to bums because nobody cares about those lowlifes in this society.

well if we are already ignoring social acceptance lets just go to africa and do it for food as the reward

I say the loser gets eaten.

[KoC]

I'd say the winner gets laid but that'd create a class of scrappy little sonsabitches.

The loser gets laid and we create a class of suitable colosseum fodder.

[JoonasTo]

The loser survives? 

[xArucardx]

I say we just create a prison colony on the moon and make people fight to survive. No rewards! Losers die, and the winners... well they die, eventually

[KoC]

That'd require we first colonize the moon. Why not say we genetically manipulate a race of humanoid fighters who have no sentience or pain receptors at all if we're going that far.

[JoonasTo]

Because it's not fun if they aren't screaming in pain.

[KoC]

Hell, if we could do that we'd most likely teach them to scream in pain. If not just make them feel pain on a heightened level.

Reminds me of Iain M. Banks' Excession.

Seriously, what's wrong with using bums or kids from the third world? It's the cheapest solution. Just imagine how much you can profit from that.

Hell, we don't need to pay them, just make a grand tournament where the winner gets a green card for US citizenship or something (of course it would be a lie, the winner would be executed afterwards in a cold basement) and let desperate fools from 3rd world countries fight over it.

ooh i got a better idea we just have 1 person vs millions of specified insects that are all hopped up on pheromones the one who dies 2nd wins

that is why you kidnap 2 children from 2 families, then send notes to each family saying that you have their child, and unless you fight to the death, your child will be killed.
The winner gets to be in the crowd cheering on their child in their deathmatch with the other child.


sounds improbable, not impossible.  LET'S DO IT!

Before this thread gets derailed into oblivion, let me share this picture with you:

(click to show/hide)

I saw this "advertisement" when I was in some back-alley shop in Shanghai.
Judging from the picture I would say it was advertising some kind of cricket fight.
I anyone here knows chinese (or possibly kanji), can you explain what the text says?

Just forwarded this to a friend studying chinese language. She said, "it says "dou chong, bai chong, ming chong, laopen." It's talking about bugs. ”fighting bugs, white bugs, crying (as in making noise) bugs, old basin"
EDIT: She also said the language is in simplified Chinese

[logos]

And completely wrong but do we actually care? HELL NO!

sources or stfu

Anyone remember the Gintama bug fight episode?

Well that confirms it, thanks! Not sure about the "old basin" part though, maybe the name of some bug fighting club.

That gintama episode with the golden bug was on my mind ever since I started reading this thread
