Youtubesday - Rube Goldberg

Ready to enjoy 9:00 minutes, and be incredibley annoyed at the same time?

I'm guessing a Japanese TV show did a Rube Goldberg Machine Contest.
Rube Goldberg machines, named after American cartoonist Reuben Garret L. Goldberg according to wikipedia are complex devices that perform simple tasks in indirect and convoluted ways.

Here is 9:00 minutes of incredibly creative machines built to reveal a word, written in Japanese. It's fun to watch, but each machine display ends with a one-ling Japanese Jingle. I'm not sure, but I think it translates, "Why are you still watching this?"

Enjoy!
