Taken from the news of the wierd:

A 26-year-old man will be hospitalized "for months" in Illawarra, Australia, following an August accident that authorities speculate might have been inspired by the film "Jackass." The man was apparently walking across a room with a lighted firecracker between his posterior cheeks when he slipped and fell backward to the floor. The explosion resulted in a fractured pelvis, severe genital burns, hemorrhaging from the buttocks and ruptured urethra, leaving him incontinent and sexually dysfunctional. [Illawarra Mercuty, 9-3-03]


Go! Aussies Go!

ARGH, ouch I feel pain just reading that.
But on the bright side at least he won't be able to breed :D

Sagramore 10-18-2003 08:39 PM

Gangrell 10-18-2003 08:49 PM

<font color=pink>The answer to the first is Jackass, and the answer to the second, I don't want to know [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

Ok, I don't care HOW bored you are; that is just beyond stupid.

Maybe a more accurate topic would be "Don't try this <s>at home</s> ever!"

GForce 10-19-2003 02:37 AM

Monkey see, monkey do. Poor guy. :(

GokuZool 10-19-2003 03:26 AM

If you do something stupid like that, you would obviously have to expect some sort of consequence. (Or consequences, in this case)

RoSs_bg2_rox 10-19-2003 04:46 AM

<font color=pink>No, the stuff they do on Jackass is stupid in a sick, twisted, funny way [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

And in the end they got paid handsomely, this fruitcake is doing it for personal kicks and that's what scares the hell out of me. I mean, what could my neighbours be doing at night? I don't know! Do you?

What can I say?Think before you do something like this.

Nerull 10-19-2003 10:51 PM

Always happens that way; there's always at least one idiot that tries to copy what he sees despite the disclaimers. When the Christopher Reeves Superman came out, people died jumping off ledges trying to fly. Backyard wrestling is one whole big segment of people trying to copy WWE (side note: they are releasing a Backyard Wrestling video game, glorifying it even more). Same thing with the people who try to play D&D in real life (running around in sewers play acting like knights). It ends up ruining things for the rest of us, because they end up trying to ban/dilute whatever is seen as the threat, when it is just the few morons trying to imitate that are the ones getting hurt. The rest of us actually have something of a grip on reality, enough so not to do stupid stuff like that.

Oh well, you reap what you sow. As long as they take the idiot drivers along with them, I'll be fine with it. ;)

<font color=pink>Except that Superman, D&D, and Backyard Wrestling, aren't based on our immediate reality. Superman can fly becaus he has superpowers. Normal people should know they don't have superpowers [img]tongue.gif[/img] . BYW is a video game, and D&D exists in a fantasy world, for the most part. Jackass, CY2K and all related shows are actual people doing real things that anyone else can do, so of course, people try it. "I can't fly like superman, but I can stick a bottle rocket in my ass!"
Thats just stupid, lol [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

i guess he really is a "jackass"...

Link 10-22-2003 10:30 AM

*OOOOOOUCCH!!!* That must have hurt plenty!! :eek: Then again you're too stupid if you do something like that..

Bahamut 10-22-2003 12:19 PM

In my opinion he should've put a firecracker that wasn't that hard-hitting... he is dumb because he knows he is pulling a jackass stunt but with a loaded fircracker?! nuts... he got what he deserved... especially if putting it on someplace very sensitive and usually protected from anything...

AzRaeL StoRmBlaDe 10-22-2003 01:44 PM

it didn't say alcohol was involved, but then again in cases like this there usually is.

Faceman 10-22-2003 02:34 PM

1.Do stupid stuff at home if you absolutely have to :D
2.THINK!!!

If you THINK you probably won't hurt yourself afterwards go ahead, but if you KNOW that this will hurt back off.
And if you prefer not to think before and just go: "It's gonna be okay" -> serves you right :D
