seeing how the show has been off the air for more than a year, it looks as though you succeeded.

1) If you're dumb enough to emulate a TV show and think you won't get hurt in the process, you deserve the consequences you get.
2) If you're dumb enough to let your CHILD watch a TV show like Jackass, then you deserve the consequences you get.
Moral of the story: Don't be dumb.

This guy is 26 years old... if he couldn't figure out by that age this was a bad idea he deserved to have his nuts sacrificed to the Black Cat gods.
Furthermore, didn't the Jackass guys stick a bottle rocket in their butts? From what I remember of that scene (unless they did this on the show as well) the stick of the rocket was in his butt, but all the explosive elements were externally located. Still dangerous, but a big distinction. If this guy shoved an exploding object INSIDE his body, WTF did he expect?

This is ridiculous.... it all goes back to stupid people imitating things they saw on TV- I can't help but remember the incident when a boy burned down his trailor after watching Beavis and Butthead, and then Beavis wasn't able to yell "Fire!!" anymore... Granted, this is a bit different, since that was a young boy (and where the hell was his parents while he was watching B&B?!?!?!), and this is an idiot who's old enough to know better.
But guess what?!?! Those HUGE warnings at the start of EVERY show (and aren't there also warnings upon returning from commercial breaks?) are SERIOUS!!!!! So why should a show that could eliminate idiots (and in this case, prevent them from procreating) be removed from the air? I say, run it more often, MTV!!!
I'm a new fan of the Jackass show. In fact, just about a month ago I saw the movie, which exposed me to Jackass for the first time. I didn't think it was something I would find all that funny, but my wife heard it was hilarious; I bought it 2 days after we rented it. I laughed my ass off- now I look for the show on MTV.... I actually still haven't seen the show, but since my Tivo will be installed this Saturday, I'll be taping it!!!!

They are only showing the same 4 or 5 episodes over and over right now. I have never seen a network that owns a show only show the same few episodes over and over. It feels like a syndicated show,when your local station only bought half of a season.

Jackass! is hellarious. These modern-day court jesters are being total friggin' idiots for our pleasure, and getting paid well to do so. The moran in Australia did it for free. Thanks, firecracker-in-the-ass dude!

He isn't a Jackass...he's a dumbass. You can't blame TV for what dumbasses do. If you could, we would have nothing good to watch. Should they ban Superman, too? How many kids have jumped off of the roof of their house or some other high place trying to fly? If he is 26 and doesn't realize that putting firecrackers in your butt is a bad idea, then something is seriously wrong with him, and like a lot of other people have said...it's just Darwinism at work.

Kramdenfan,
What is even sadder with that kid burning down his trailer. Was not that Beavis said "fire". But, that a mother would leave her 4 year old home alone without any supervision.

Well, on a more positive note: Maybe this guy will be nominated for this year's Darwin Award? 
PS - Dang, forgot that people have to actually be successful in offing themselves to qualify for the Darwin Award.
