Jackass should be Banned!
 

I just read that some guy stuck fire crackers up his butt because he wanted to be Jackass. Now he is in the hospital. This show needs to taken off the air before someone dies.

I've never seen "Jackass" yet plenty of crap has been up my butt. What do you say to that?

Relax, every idiot that offs themselves by doing stunts from Jackass doesn't procreate and cleanses the gene pool.

:up: agreed.

Stupidity is <b>NOT</b> illegal.

Oh, thank goodness you were talking about the show. I thought my time here was up.

Ohhh, I thought you didn't like one of our members here at DVD Talk.

did he light them?

maybe he should stick with Matchbox cars next time.






IBTUR:

"survival of the fittest" works again.

Oh, thank goodness you were just talking about the show. I was afraid dork's time here was up.

Re: Jackass should be Banned!
 

i totally disagree. if someone is stupid enough to actually do that then they deserve the consequences. to blame someone else for your actions is as stupid as the actions themselves.

Groucho, if I go, I'm taking you with me. Right into Reichenbach Falls! :mad:

You know... If somebody is stupid enough to imitate what they see on those shows, they deserve what happens.

Darwinism works! The only thing that should be banned is this guy from entering the gene pool.

And this guy didn't video tape this? He should take lessons from the Star Wars kid.

This has been going on since before Evel Knievel. Good luck in your crusade on stamping out idiocy, though.

Who is Jackass?

Hey, while we're at it, we should also ban any show that depicts unsafe sex. And driving too fast. And drinking too much. And not flossing daily.

Has Jackass ever done an episode of something like this? Not sure why people watch the show, just seems like mindless entertainment, but not saying it should be banned.

We could say "This show does nothing but promote stupidity, therefore it should be banned in order to protect our society."

The argument to this would be: "The 1st Amendment protects free speech, regardless of how stupid it is."

Forget about that. This guy should be erased from existence, because what if someone tries to do the same thing emulating <i>him</i>???

Attention "Mr. Firecrackers up the ass". Assuming you know how to read, click here.

If tv made you stick a firecracker up your ass... you deserved it.

Well, you can't blame the guy for bringing it up. Most of the dumbest law suits were brought up and won by dumb people who knew exactly what the consequence was gonna be, but still did it and end up winning millions and millions. This is America buddy, land of the stupids who get millions for being idiots. And if you're dumb enough, you can even be the president.

I don't know if this is old news or not, but here's the story:

Jackass warning after horrific firecracker accident

Doctors in Australia have urged people to not to attempt Jackass style stunts after a man burnt his genitals in a firecracker accident.

The 26-year-old Australian man suffered a fractured pelvis and severe burns when a firecracker exploded between the cheeks of his buttocks.

The incident has left the man, from Illawarra, New South Wales, incontinent and unable to have sex and he is expected to remain in hospital for several months.

Dr Robert McCurdie, who operated on the man when he was taken to Wollongong Hospital, likened the man's condition to "a war injury".

Dr McCurdie said he believed the man had stumbled while the firecracker was in his buttocks, and fell down on it.

"By virtue of the fact that the explosion was confined in an upward direction, it went up into his pelvis, blasted a great hole in the pelvis, ruptured the urethra, injured muscles in the floor of the pelvis which rendered him incontinent. His pelvis was also fractured."

It is not known whether the man was imitating the cult prankster film Jackass in which men place firecrackers in their buttocks and shoot them into the air.

Acting Senior Sergeant John Klepczarek said the danger with movies like Jackass was that some people were tempted to try the stunts at home.

"They're putting themselves at risk, and other people. We do caution people strongly against following these acts," he said. rotfl

Acting Follower of Reason das Monkey said that the danger with stupid people is that they do stupid things and then blame others for their own stupidity.

He'll never be able to have sex again. AWSOME!!!!!!

NG: agreed.

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

jackass isnt off the air.

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.

He would have been better off shoving animal crackers up his ass.

Re: Jackass should be Banned!
 

I think that it goes without saying that that person IS a Jackass.

What do I say?

Please DON'T show us...

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?

true it still air, but there aren't any new episodes.

No - I think they're still making new episodes - the new season starts soon I think.

I don't think so. Both Bam Margera and Steve-O have new shows on MTV, if that is what you are talking about.

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 funny. But what is even funnier is to blame the show for people's stupidity.
