The "Piercing Parade" event sounds a little too fantastic, and Googling for it and Distraction gives no results whatsoever. -- Kizor 20:57, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it happened. I saw it this evening on an episode of Distraction on the UKTV channel on Foxtel in Australia. One contestant got one ear piercing, and the other got three ear piercings and a belly piercing to win the car. Myrin1 12:43, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
The episode I saw last night had the "winner" answering questions, and because he didnt know enough rolling stones, had anvils dropped on his prises. However, the host said he could keep the anvils. Any idea how much an anvil is worth? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.156.67.67 ( talk) 08:04, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
An anvil is a couple of hundred dollars upwards, depending upon the mass. Arnie Side ( talk) 20:17, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
There was also a finale where the prize was given in pound coins and either on getting a question wrong a shovel-full was added to a mixer of quick-drying cement, or the coins were shoveled into the cement until so many questions were answered correctly (I can't recall which). In the end the contestant left with a bucket of coins and a large lump of coin filled cement. Can anyone elaborate further on this? Arnie Side ( talk) 23:35, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
