New From The Eastern Bloc!!

Ladder Racing...



The Deuce has brought you Xtreme Baseball, Dwarf Tossing, Beer Pong, Rock Paper Scissors, The Idiotarod, IFL vs UFL and now we bring you LADDER RACING.

I like two things about this video thats been going around the interwebs for a bit. One, that starter pistol doesn't sound like a starter pistol at all. Sounds like a damn AK-47 was just shot. It looks and sounds more like they're running away from a firing squad. I wonder if the losers actually gets gunned down by that thing. For all we know, these could be prisoners of the GULAG running for their freedom. I'd want to win as well.

Two, the "announcer" of the event has positively the most monotone, robotic voice I have ever heard. It's just like I would expect some Soviet nuclear submarine commander would sound like over the ship's loudspeaker when he was slowly barking out instructions on our bearing and depth. Its a wonder the crowd is even slightly enthused with that guy MC'ing the affair. I wonder if the actual translation is something like "You will climb this ladder...or you will die. Climb or die. It is your choice. Only one will live." Chilling really...
