A friend of mine got roped into a game show when he was in Japan and ended up winning ~ $50,000 USD after taxes.
I think it was one of those shows where you had to contort your body into particular shapes to fit through a sliding wall.
Anyway, he bought a truck and paid off some of his family's bills and now he's running for some sort of city council position, but he's kind of a dick so I wouldn't vote for him.
I don't care if you're on or off the Taylor Swift hate train, but this is freaking funny.
