:rolleyes:

If the kid is stupid enough to do what he did, then clearly he wasn't taught well enough by his parents not to do something so freakin' daft. And where in Jackass: The Movie was there a stunt like what this kid did?

[capncnut]

They wont ban it. Every now and then some unmotivated little turd decides to blow himself or do something equally as stupid just because he want's to copy his heroes. It is down to immaturity and the court will view it that way. At the most, they'll partially ban some of the advertisements for it, nothing more. What if some kid nicked a car and crashed it into a wall because he saw it on The Bill?

Typical parents. Blame everyone but themselves. I like this quote:


It was reported the boy watched the film in his bedroom with his twin brother and best friend before acting the scene out.

Hey, parents. You had a good 90 minutes to go in there and put a stop to it. Why didn't you? Why did your kids have access to this film in the first place?

[Danny]

you can blame a tv show, blame the parents, blame the kisd but it all adds up to the same thing.
people are retards, thats why we have shows like funniyiest home videos, **** happens guys, 'specially to some dumb kids they gravitate towards bad ideas, i should know.:lol:

The sad thing about this is the fact these kids will probably produce offspring. Its part of survival of the fittness. All we need is a generation of dumb asses.

its allready begun, look at anyone below the the age of 15 nowadays:rolleyes:

A pussified generation, too. It seems that people in my age group and even when we were much much younger were a tougher group. We never wore helmets or pads while riding bikes or roller skating. We weren't afraid to fight. No pulling out guns or getting revenge afterwards. Once it was settled it was settled. I don't remember kids 10-20 years ago doing stupid sh!t like that. Yeah, we did dumb things, but we drew a line for stupidity.

We did some pretty stupid stuff at uni when I look back. Like running around a cramped, dark living room wearing masks brandishing kitchen knives while a strobe light flashed away. I nearly caught a knife in the face, as did the others ... but at the time it was f*cking hilarious. I even filmed it.

Then we did the old "cool stuff to put in a microwave" thing, and had hella fun ... but we stopped once our heads started hurting.

Other things like homemade smoke bombs, throwing bangers at each other, match-head bombs, the classic aerosol + fire combo ... it was hilarious at the time, and good fun to film ... but I look back at some of the stuff we did and I think "geez, what if that had gone wrong?" ... I guess it's the innate feeling of invulnerability you have when you're that young ... although this plonker who "copied Jackass" was 11 and should be played GI Joe rather than the human torch. :eek:

I think the REAl question is "What if some kid shoved a shovel into another kid's mouth because he saw it on Day of the Dead?"

Anyway, these people are all fucktards. It's his own goddamn fault for not thinking "hmm... Could I get hurt doing this?" before copying (Supposedly) something from a movie in which people HURT themselves. Dumbass.

oh aye, i know that game well, rasins, rotten eggs and crisp packets (before they were made of foil) were a few of the greats.:lol:

I'm sure there's been fiftymillion people who've attempted jackass stunts gone wrong, but it won't get banned for the simple fact that it has the disclaimer at the beginning to not try these stunts at home.

I also don't recall anyone in jackass number 2 lighting themselves on fire. Leave it to stupidity...

[MikePizzoff]

Ugh. Morons. This kid shouldn't even be watching TV at all if he's going to attempt stuff he sees.

Doont know yer age but kids did a lot of dum stuff when I was a kid.
One thre a rope around a power line and got fried in front of my cousin and the kid down the street got his head shot off while goofing around.
Thats in the SEVENTIES.
Kids got stabbed and whatnot when I was a kid. People used to say the same exact thing you jsut said when I was a kid "used to be...."
Fact is
People are dumb, Always have been.

As far as media stunts, obsenity being some kind of new thing.
In Pompeii there are drawings pn walls (bathroom walls too, or whatever passed for a bathroom) of people sucking off and butt slamming and huge boobs etc. Nothing new.

You should see Idiocracy. Thats what its about. And MAya Rudolph is really hot in it:o

I DID catch a knife down my face, and still have a hair-line scar to show for it... A mate bought a knife, flashed it around my face expecting me to back away and instead I stood him out. The knife slashed my cheek open....

Three stitches later we were laughing about it!

[MinionZombie]

lol, tough guy eh?

Aye I've done the "stand them out/stare them out" thing and ended up getting punched or poked in the eye, lol. Mind you, it was funny when a friend got all pissed off and punched me in the face, I didn't flinch and didn't stagger back, and it wasn't like it was a limp-ass punch, it left me with a bruise around my cheek, but I didnay flinch ... which my mates found hilarious and the puncher was left feeling a bit gutted out, haha!

Some friend, I wouldn't dream of hitting one of mah bros.

[MinionZombie]

Well at the time we were more, to get technical, acquaintances. We were friends in Sixth Form though (he punched me in Year 11 if memory serves, or maybe it was Year 10 ... we were out on the school field in the summer, and I think it was some kinda dispute regarding football, which I think we were playing at the time in lunch break ... kinda fuzzy memory except for the punch and my distinct non-reaction, lol).

So we were friends afterwards in the Sixth Form when we actually got to know each other properly and would talk on MSN a lot, but after Sixth Form - like what happens quite often - we kinda drifted back to acquaintances again.

Next time I see him I think I'll bring the punch up again, I remember telling him about it a few years ago and he couldn't remember too well, but was kinda ashamed he punched me, lol. I just thought it was funny.
