Not funny, but pingworthy, nonetheless....

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

[conservativeinbflo.]

what a DUMB@SS!! i'm sorry... should i feel sorry? because i don't. my sympathy goes to the burn victims who were in an accident. not some MTV-watching, nintendo-playing drone!

[Happygal]

Jackass is just one of those tv programmes that I simply don't understand. I watch it (it's screened on Ireland's RTE channel), but I invariably shake my head incredulously at the antics of Johnny Knoxville and 'Partyboy' Chris Pontius.

please, lie to me if you have to, but tell me that this little zippo burned his testicles off.

[AppyPappy]

Yet another mere coincidence

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Chief Deputy Dave Bellows said the parents shouldn't be blamed.

My bet is that the human barbecue and his parents have protected minority status.

[Bohemund]

"Jackass: The Movie" has no such stunt in it.

The TV show did have an episode, first aired years ago, in which Johnny Knoxville donned a flame-retardant suit covered in raw meat and lay on a grill.

This kid is just a moron.

Bah...before we had so many freaking traffic cops in this country, the kid would have been out drag-racing. A certain number of kids pretty much always engage in risky behavior. They can't drop out and join the Marines at 15 anymore, so they find stupid (as opposed to noble) ways to get adventure.

I blame the feminization fo the Boy Scouts, which used to be a worthwhile organization. The kid should have been put in the Marine Corps cadets early on, and maybe this would have been avoided. We are hunters by nature and life in suburbia makes young males edgy ... exposure to healthy adventure activities will help get some of this out of their systems.

[Darksheare]

With all the stupid and crazy stuff my brother and I did as children (Detonating the back yard for one.) we NEVER did anything THAT stupid.
We just joined Field Artillery when we enlisted...

The newspaper agreed not to identify the mother in order to keep her son's identity private.

He won't be hard to spot.

The kid has just been awarded the April 18th Darwin Award.

OK, so in the past two days, we have:

- Kid who gets blinded looking down the barrel of a potato gun which fires a live frog into his face;

- Kid who sets himself on fire after seeing "Jackass"

Sounds to me like we've got developing cases of SARS: Sudden Acute Repeated Stupidity.

Staring into the video camera, the 14-year-old boy says, "Don't try this at home" and then sets himself on fire.

So why on earth didn't he listen to himself? He knew he was doing something dangerous and very stupid, but he did it anyway. It boggles the mind.

[Bullish]

A product of 'publik edgucashun'?

You think he knows that skin burns now?

[lepton]

Gee, that sounds like the teen said: "Gee, that looks really stupid. I've got to show my friends how stupid it is."

[xJones]

Wow, 65% 3rd degrees burns.....but looking back, I did some really dumb stunts as a teenager and was lucky, although setting fire to myself was not one of them.

[Paul Atreides]

It's interesting, the amount of worthless drivel that comes out of an industry filled with people who claim to be so much more enlightened than the rest of us.

[green team 1999]

one word for that kid, "fool".

today while switching channels did see a video of a teenager(older)using a skateboard on a handrail,turn around and falls face first-no hands (look ma no hands),broken jaw on three places,wiring of jaw for two months.
