Every year, Yufu City in Oita prefecture hosts a shouting contest where people are invited to vent their frustrations at the top of their lungs while judges measure how loud it is. The winner two years in a row has been Eizo Ito, a 49-year old whose rant was 111.4 decibel loud. We don't know what he said, but apparently some of the other participants said stuff like: "I want to eat safe rice!" and "I'm going to cut your allowance because stock prices are down."
I'm trying to think what I would have yelled if I was in the contest.

This is sort of official looking..and apparently if you're out of ideas you can just yell "Gyaaa!"
