Ooops... did I just type that?

Then you'd probably really like the movie "Battle Royale":

"Ninth grade students are taken to a small isolated island with a map, food and various arms. They have to fight each other three days long until the last one remains and are forced to wear a special collar which will explode when they break a rule." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/

I'd say the winner of that game is a REAL survivor!

(If you don't mind the extreme violence, the movie is actually quite excellent, especially if you have any interest in Japanese society.)

Good point Tillers!

And just for the record, Battle Royale was seriously disturbing but pretty awesome at the same time. Definitely unforgettable.
