Darwin at his finest

.... the best part though, the video taper asking "uh, you guys okay?". Brilliant.

Damn! I don't know what hurt worse; watching them do it, or the guy filming his buddies writhing in pain.

Two stupid idiots for the price of one!

Wish we could get some homeboys around here to try that every day or two.

You know, I've done some stupid things in my life, but what in the world was running through these guys' heads? There's no way that was going to have a happy ending. I mean, it scares me that the youth of today would even *consider* something like that?

Am I missing something?

A friends son recently tried being towed behind a Suburban while on his bike in an attempt to "do" a ramp and land the farthest...

The kids elbow was popping thru his flesh. He told his mom "but I was the only kid that made it"...not surprising really, his father is a stay at home mom/dad, probably due to no work skills...oh he does have one skill, he likes to hit the Hookah...

There was a video going around a few year ago of a kid trying to jump over a small building this way; he didn't get enough altitude, and face-planted right into the side of the building - just like in the cartoons.

I saw the video, I asked her if she and her son had seen it as well. Guess what? they had seen it. I guess when one mixes some herb, a few sessions of variations of these types of videos, and male testosterone...well the result will always be the same..

I was the "Safety Advisor" for Jackass-The Movie. You would be amazed at the things we DIDN'T let them do. Like stripping Johnny Knowville and spraying him with the urine of a female deer in heat and putting him in a paddock with a couple of male bucks. They also wanted to stick his head up the butt of an elephant.

Wow. So... what is the criteria for what he was/wasn't allowed to do? Was there a threshold of potential bodily harm he wasn't allowed to cross? Concecrns about cruelty to animals?

Acutally, unlike the TV show, which I didn't work on, we didn't allow exchanges of bodily fluids, notice the guy lick his own yellow snow cone. The golf cart stuff was a WTF, cause they did that in Pennsylvania and I couldn't be there. The alligators had lots of handlers off camera. The paper cuts and the bottle rockets were when they were in Japan in the middle of the night when they were drunk and I was asleep. Most of the other stuff was just stupid. There were a lot of things we said no to. No animal cruelty allowed, hence no head up the elephants butt. When we shot Johnny with the riot gun he had on a chest and crotch protector and went to get an MRI afterwards no matter how he felt.
