What I love about Jackass is that it is a show about a group of friends joking around. I can't believe anyone would attempt a Jackass stunt. Little kids shouldn't be watching the show in the first place and those 14 and over should have enough common sense. ------------------
Also just yesterday a kid tried to jump over a car . Only Two people may jump over cars , Jackass and Steve Francis . That being said , the video showed the teen jumped to late , his legs smacked into the windshield and he did three somersaults before landing on his back . If your stupid enough to attempt this than your stupid enough to do anything you see on television . ------------------ Vice President of Executive Operations of the Sean Colson Fan Club http://bbs.clutchcity.net [This message has been edited by moestavern19 (edited April 25, 2001).]
Amazingly, he is in good condition. The driver and the passenger of the car were arrested. ------------------ "Of course, thats just my opinion, I could be wrong" -- Dennis Miller
I was watching MSNBC or something like that and they were saying that for the speed the car was going and its height, etc,etc the kid would have had to jump 7 feet straight up into the air. Apparently not even Francis could do that. Was the kid himself arrested? It doesnt make any sense to me why the other two kids were arrested. I dont know the law really, but what did they do that was considered illegal (it shoudnt be in my mind). ------------------ I hope, when they die, cartoon characters have to answer for their sins.
I read that the parents of one of the kids wants to sue Jackass and MTV. Screw that. Jackass and MTV should sue the parents and the kid for being brain dead idiots. ------------------
Hey, everybody, lets put real gladiators on television! The show could have a warning that no one should try it on their own. The participants would sign waivers that if they got hurt or killed, they could not sue the producers or stations that show it. Then, if people didn't tune in to see if anyone got maimed or killed, the ratings would go down and the advertisers would move their money somewhere else and the show would just go off the air. If people didn't want their kids to see it, they could get it blocked. So what if thousands of other kids watched it, as long as your kid didn't. Then you don't have to feel uneasy, because you kept your kid from watching it. The events could be interactive and the audience could call in to vote if a defeated participant should be killed or not. Maybe that is too harsh. Maybe they could just vote whether or not to slice the loser's ear off. That's not too bad. If he had enough money, he could probably get it re-attached. Just think about the look on his face when he got it sliced off!! Do you think anyone would watch? ------------------
i love watching jackass. i find it entertaining and i think that somebody that is influenced by media that severely, than they are jackasses themselves ------------------ KD 12-21-99
I watch jackass too...I think as a punishment these idiot kids should be forced to do that stunt where the guy gets in a portapotty and they turn it upside down letting all the crap run all over the place... ------------------ Who's ya daddy?
Just because a couple morons get hurt trying to pull off a dumb stunt, doesn't mean the millions of other responsible viewers should get punished. I just wish I knew when people decided to not take responsibility for themselves, but instead decide to point their fingers at everyone else but them. Parents need to teach their kids common sense instead of blaming Johnny Knoxville for their kids doing extremely stupid things. ------------------ To resist is to piss in the wind, Anyone who does will end up smelling, Knowing this why do I defy, Cuz my inner voice is yelling.
Exactly. That is why there is a disclaimer, not only at the beginning of the show, but at the end of each commerical break. ------------------ Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion
Yes, I understand that Surgeon General's warning is tricky to see on Each and Every pack of cigs sold. I don't think The Surgeon General's warning had anything to do with the addictive qualities of cigarettes.... ------------------ http://www.swirve.com ... more fun than a barrel full of monkeys and midgets.
