Hands on A Hard Body Documentary: Full Length on Google Video

(1/2) > >>

mouser:
I rented this on videotape from my old video rental store (That's Rentertainment) many years ago.. Really great stuff before these kinds of documentaries became popular.  You have to watch this.

It's a full-length documentary from 1998:
Twenty-four contestants compete in an endurance/sleep deprivation contest in order to win a brand new Nissan Hardbody truck. The last person to remain standing with his or her hand on the truck wins. An absurd marketing gimmick at first glance, the contest proves to be much more...

The link isn't good but I think this is from my hometown in Longview, Tx. The Nissan dealership here use to have this contest every year up until about 3yrs ago cause some guy after dropping out of the contest went across the street, broke into a Kmart store grabbed a gun and loaded it and shot himself. The family sued the dealership and the contest will not be held again. The lawsuit was just recently settled but the terms weren't disclosed. Here's the story http://tinyurl.com/6jlfls

Thanks for the link, Rocker. Sleep deprivation is crazy, but if you're breaking into gun cabinets, loading a gun, and shooting yourself over a lousy truck, you were f-ed up before you laid hand on car!
