Jackass

What the fuck is up with the people from MTV Jackass?

I passed by MTV Asia while the documentary I was watching was on a commercial and saw these Chinese kids sliding down escalators and concrete steps in a giant wok.

As if it wasn't bad enough, they show these kids with maniacal smiles making a silent intro before each and every stupid stunt. Then after they wipeout on their ass on some concrete walk, their eyes bulge and they moan in pain, acting like it surprised them.

I wonder what kind of message MTV is sending by having shows like this?

Go be an ass? Get creative by figuring out how many ways you can fall off stairs or get shot in the chest by various projectiles? Be a public nuisance by running around in a gorilla suit while scaring other people off and wrecking their cars?

Why don't I save you the trouble and just shove you off a cliff instead.

Better yet, why don't you show up at a Call Center and have some of the customer service agents take a shot at you during peak hours. That way you can help people destress while you make an ass out of yourself. You can even wear the gorilla suit, i'm sure they won't mind.

I don't care if they place warnings before every show. If people can ignore traffic signs and TV Meal instructions, did they honestly think that these brief flash ads will do the trick? Were the studio execs on drugs when they approved the show?

And here we are asking questions on why kids can't get motivated.

They are--to stay on the street trying to see if getting their head whacked is funny.

If these kids want to be professional crash test dummies, maybe we ought to just cut to the chase and drag them to some pyhsics lab. That way we can finally be rid of test cadavers.

Instead we can stick these morons with pressure gauges, shove them into a car, then ram it into a wall.

After which they can crawl out with whiplash and just say "OWWWWWW"
