Encouraging teens to engage in self-destructive behavior, and offering them the chance to be on national TV at the same time and if their stunt is crazy enough. Fun for all!
What could possibly go wrong with that????

I suppose "film the crazy stuff you do" is not the same as "film yourself doing crazy stuff".

Where’s the footage of the mishap, though?
Seems perfect for the show, after all. Sometimes stupid stunts go awry.
A “teachable moment”.

"What could possibly go wrong with that????" Whatever idiot thought up the idea for this show should do community service at a big city ER after being fired.

Two thoughts.
1. Is Cooper trying to recreate ‘Jackass’?
2. And while I’m sorry the poor kid is now brain damaged; I would like to know how does that prevent him from going on Cooper’s show? Seems like he hits the bullseye for both guests and the audience.

Most of TV these days is of regular people doing not-so-regular or contrived things. Everyone wants to be a STAR!

I understand perfectly. If Anderson asked me to film his wild behavior, and instructed me on exactly what that would involve, I’d probably fall into a coma, too.

Cooper thinks he is not to blame for this kids head injury but that Sarah Palin is to blame for Gabby Giffords head injury. How twisted is that?

OK, so anyone can send in a video-are the people who send in videos that are aired on the show being paid union minimums? I suspect not.
Talk about cheap programming! How the mighty have fallen-and in more ways than one!!!

Is Cooper trying to recreate Jackass? Even Jackass displays a warning at the beginning and end of every show for amateurs to not film themselves doing stupid things.

But nobody seems to care about the multitudes that have fallen into a coma from attempting to watch the show.

The youngster was reportedly encouraged to "film the crazy stuff you do" on-camera by producers for the segment on wild teens, but a severe head injury and consequent coma prevented him from making his way into New York to speak with Cooper. Oh, "Teabag Boy" didn't want the kids to hurt themselves, he just wanted to see them get drunk and naked, I'm sure.
