Thanks Chris,

You made my point for me. There is a huge difference in an actress getting paid to walk an actor (wrestler) down an aisle in an itty bitty bikini, and taking advantage of an innocent persons misfortune by goading them into fighting or doing stupid shit that could hurt them.

Did you read the article? The threatened these people not to talk - they KNEW what they were doing was wrong! One guy got his leg broken!! Did he sign up for this? NO! I SAW THEM FILMING this in Vancouver. You wanna know how they get the bums to agree? They goad them into it - they harass them and taunt them and pick at them until they take a swing or walk away.

Would it be different in your eyes if it was a woman they were doing this to? If someone walked up to your girlfriend and started harrassing her trying to get her to do something stupid - would you think it was funny then? If someone came up to you and started picking a fight with you and you DIDNT HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO would you think it was funny then? NO, I imagine not. How about a kid? Your kid? Parents get bent out of shape if their kids get into fights readily - much less goaded into it.

As for Jackass - well, the name says it all. BUT the difference even here is these idiots are doing it TO THEMSELVES. They are not intentionally hurting innocent people and they are not getting paid to do it.

The fact of the matter is, if you are taking advantage of an innocent person - you are in the WRONG. Be it a model, a child, an animal, or a bum. If someone was kicking the shit outta a puppy and taping it, would you put it up on your PORN site?? No, I dont think so.

I still have yet to see whats so funny about this....
