Longevity and Death in Okinawa
Loading...
Uploaded by LongevityBlueZones on Oct 22, 2008
People live longer in Okinawa, Japan than almost anywhere else in the world. In this rare footage of a Buddhist funeral in Okinawa, a priest enters a burial crypt to meld the bones of a 105-year-old man with his long deceased wife.

Asshole!

@lupa559 It was extremely disrespectful for the Dick and his camera crew to intrude upon such a private matter. However, I think this clip tells us more about the peaceful and dignified manner of Okinawan people. They not only tolerated the intruders but also treated them with dignity and respect - something that was sorely lacking in the intruders. This is how Okinawans 'teach' civility and harmony to others- Americans in particular.

Did anyone watch this all the way until the end? The family had actually wanted him there - they were so touched by the piece he helped put out in National Geographic that they had it cremated with the body.

Man I would have shoved that camera up his ass! WTF is wrong with him!!?

I have been living in Okinawa for 6years, I have found the okinawans drink Sanpin, Green and Herbal teas all day long. This stuff is literally served everywhere, it may not be the silver bullet but it may help, it will certainly lower sugar intake and help reduce body fat. I have made these herbal teas available through Okinawa Herbal.

that guys a dick. following them dispite the families wishes. it's disrespectful to them and the centenarian. If some guy started filming my dad's funeral when i told him not to i'd beat the crap out of him... The filming company and presenter should be ashamed of themselves.

yeah, that's what I was thinking. "I asked if we could come and was told absolutely not. It was private for family only. We went anyway."
My first thought was...What a jackass!
