I have a friend who works for the TV station, they fake stuff all the time. Check the hilarious quality of the acting. This is completely fake.

I fell asleep drunk on the street in urban Japan with a thick wad of cash in my bag within my first two months of arrival. It was my first payday and I had been itching to taste the nightlife but previously did not have enough money. Stuck in town after the last train, unable to convince some unsuspecting Japanese girl to take a giant drunk white dude home and not cognizant of cheap capsule hotels in some concrete nook till the sun came up. Fortunately, I was not the victim of theft. Unfortunately, no young ladies attempted to grope me. Bad behaviour perhaps, but not as bad as some people from my part of the world "doing Japan" drunkly. Sadly the video of the dude throwing the bike at the garbage truck in Triangle Park in Shinsaibashi, Osaka has been taken off youtube. That was a classic. Ahhh… this takes me back.

Never seen anything like it. Hard to believe that a camera team would run into two situations like that. Also I find it unlikely that someone would search a drunk person's pockets. Not least because there is a pretty high risk of being caught. Anyone who is so convinced this happens, I take any bet. We go to Shibuya, you pick a time and place, and either you or I act exactly like the drunk guy in the movie for an hour and see if someone actually searches my/your pocket.

You either A) don't live in, nor have ever been to, Japan or B) DO live in Japan, just refuse to leave home and do not observe anything outside of your own little world... Oh, sorry, also option C) You ARE Japanese and are one of the many nationals that refuse to believe they too can do wrong, and you will likely chastize the Journalist for showing Japan in a negative light. On another note, all I can really say in the end is... glad it wasn't me!!

People need to be more aware of how much they are drinking (even outside of Tokyo). I felt terrible for that girl that was being groped by that pervert, I wish he got arrested. I also wish more media outlets would pick this up because I know people who are just so idiotic when it comes to drinking and they don't have a clue about what is going on around them. Ken, your comment is stupid, why would they have any reason to fake it? that would be sick. I am glad that girl is safe though, and I do feel a bit sympathetic for the guy... moderation is definitely better than not having any.. Nice to see some exposure of this problem.

I hope it convinces a few people to exert some moderation.
