Here is a funny survey found by “What Japan Thinks” where silliness has reached a new peak. The question is really simple…What is sorer than it looks? I really wonder what company or organization wants to know this results for a product or service? Probably only a joke magazine or something.

Demographics

Between the 18th and 2nd of February 2009 1,076 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private online questionnaire. 51.1% of the sample were male, 7.2% in their teens, 15.8% in their twenties, 29.4% in their thirties, 25.2% in their forties, 11.1% in their fifties, and 11.3% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

    Going for a poo is more painful than a twisted ankle? XD
