If the current trend for reality TV is all about getting a smug sense of self worth from watching the dregs of humanity whore themselves for the sake of their 15 minutes worth, then MTV's Jackass has to be the ultimate antidote.
Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze and Jeff Tremaine have a lot to answer for. Along with co-colaborators Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Steve-O, Brandon Dicamillo, Ehren McGhehey, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna and Ryan Dunn, they have created a show which has the US moral majority on the warpath.
Don't you just love dumb american kids though...
Oh, and check out this shrine to Bam's long suffering Dad Phil..

A couple of these sites refer to skate videos featuring various jackasses, apparently they contain things that couldn't be shown on mtv..
worse than poo-dive!!!
examples: johnny gets hit by car, johnny shoots himself while wearing bullet-proof vest, brandon smears shit on ryans lip, ryan then pisses on brandon..
not available in your local video store I'd imagine :/

The film in question turns out to be CKY2K and it *is* available in your not so local video store, ie. on DVD import from the states.
It's also as funny as it sounds..
