I wonder if anyone did a study on how many 15-17 year olds

I think that the movie in question was rated "R", meaning no one under 17 admitted without parental permission. The victim was 16; ergo, she either had parental permission, leaving her guardian responsible for her awareness of the stunt in the movie, or she viewed the movie without permission, therefore whoever either rented it or broadcast it is responsible.

In other words, the buck's going to be passed around very quickly here.

My son was 15 when he asked my husband and me to take him to see "Jackass, the Movie." I literally covered my eyes through much of it, but my two boys laughed and laughed at the idiots. That's just what they are - idiots.

We can't control what our children do 24 hours of the day, nor can we control what the folks in Hollywood call entertainment. Our children are going to be exposed to this and much worse. Why not watch it with them, tell them what you think about it, and listen to how they respond. You'll know if your child is likely to try one of these stunts.

To be honest, I didn't even know the show existed before seeing the movie. So I started asking, what else do you like watching son? Now I watch some of it with him. Viva La Bam.
