Jackass!
 
Just heard rumor that one of the guy's on Jackass was killed during a stunt.
If true Im not sure anyone will be very surprised but still sad to lose a life. I think we have all been jackass's at one time or another.
The media is going to have a field day with this one.

Well not exactly the way it was told to me.
Here is the article, the media will really run with this.

N.M. Teen Dies in 'Jackass'-Style Stunt

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A teenager died while practicing what police say was a stunt he and a friend had seen in the movie "Jackass."

• Reality TV: 'Jackass'



Stephen Paul Rauen, 15, was ejected from the top of a friend's car Monday after he'd jumped onto the hood, Albuquerque Police spokesman Jeff Arbogast said.


When the driver hit the brakes, Rauen hit the pavement, then was run over and dragged a short distance.


"We had reports the individuals had done it before," Arbogast said.


Police interviewed the driver Monday evening, but Arbogast said it was too early to say whether criminal charges would be filed.


"Jackass: The Movie," which opened in October, is based on the MTV show of the same name. Creator Johnny Knoxville has said the goal of his kamikaze comedy is to make people laugh, and he has no message besides, "Don't try this at home."


Comic bits in the movie range from running around naked in public and "Candid Camera"-style pranks to injuries and gross-out antics.


The film is rated R for "dangerous, sometimes extremely crude stunts, language and nudity," according to the Motion Picture Association of America.


The TV show, which still airs in late-night reruns, drew criticism that it encouraged dangerous behavior.


After Knoxville wore a fireproof suit and allowed himself to be set ablaze and "roasted" on a grill, a few imitators were severely burned when they defied the show's disclaimers and performed their own variations on the stunt in 2001.


Just last week, a 13-year-old Indiana boy died and five other teens were injured after the van they were traveling in hurtled off a railroad track at more than 70 mph, crashed into a parked car and slid 400 feet.


Authorities, who found a camcorder and video cassette near the van with scenes from the show, believe the accident may have been an attempt to a recreate one of the show's stunts.


The movie and the television show repeatedly run disclaimers, urging viewers not to imitate the antics.

Stupid is as stupid does. I saw the movie and laughed my as off! Does this mean I would try any of teh stunts? Hell NO! People just need to realize that just because someone else did it does not mean that you can or should and if you do, you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK! NO ONE FORCED ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING! Take RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS! Jesus, these people piss me off! It is NOT THE MOVIES fault nor anyone associated with the movie! IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT!!! Thanks to those that made the movie. I LOVED IT! And to all you stupid bastards that tried to imitate it, you should be removed from the gene pool!:mad:

Audiofn 12-18-2002 07:17 AM

You know this will be a cry for the show to be cancelled :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Never mind the fact of were are the parrents that 13 year olds are driving around in a VAN, let alone letting a 13 year old watch that swill!!!! Last I checked the age to drive was 16.

SUE THEM

Jeff 12-18-2002 10:09 AM

I'm sure someones ass is on the line for a suit. My 17 year old nephew and his buddies are always imitating this crap. These kids are always all beat up from some kind of stupid stunt. What can you do? This is Fl., home of the kids without real parents. Do all the single trailer park moms from Ohio really move to Fl? (wtf) My brother and his wife are going nuts with this kid, lucky that the girl is pretty straight and a good kid. Nothing suprises me anymore.:D

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!
Survival of the fitest! If your that stupid to try a stund like that then you propably shouldn' survive. I hate to think that way, but when are people going to start using a little common sence? I've done a lot of stupid **** over the years, but when and if anything happened it was my fault(no one elses!) and I usually got what I deserved (a broken bone here and there, etc.).

HyperBaja 12-18-2002 03:09 PM

We do some stupid stuff, but not just go out and jump to a hood of a car going fast. Think about what your doing before you do it! LOL, how hard is it to think that??

Sometimes you get more respect backing down from something rather than trying to do something bordering death.

Allan4 12-18-2002 09:57 PM

Okay, I'll be the realistic one here. I did all sorts of stupid stuff when I was younger. I guess I am the only one who ever jerked around and made vidoes of my freinds and I screwing off???? Please.:( :(

Too bad these kids are getting killed though, that is somehting we never (thank God)had to deal with thru our stupid antics. Luckily perhaps, we were not insane, but we were kids........Sorry to hear about the loss of life though.

There are some flat out hilarious parts of the movie, but it gets old after about 45 minutes or so. Pretty much the same stuff you see on the TV show, just more of it and a little more risk-ay. Funny as hell though, that's for sure!!!!

After reading this article I feel I have “Post Traumatic Non-Spectator Neuro Stress Disorder” That’s right. This just gave me PTNSNSD. And Being From So-Cal there is nothing left for me to do that Sue the writers and producers of Jackass. I have been advised by my Stellar attorney Larry H.Parker to Sue the Owners of Offshore Only .com and All who posted after the thread begin causing my to keep looking at the thread leading to further PTNSNSD. I am seeking retribution and hope the show will be pulled from the air, this website shutdown and all of the world children to hold hands and sing Com-by-yaw in there native tongue. Oh yes, I am also seeking about a billion dollars. If anyone else feels the same, let me know and Ill retain Mr.Shapero for a class action suit

something that can only inspire wonder: He peered down the barrel and
tried the trigger again. This time it worked.

And now, the honorable mentions:
The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting
machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance
company. The company, suspecting negligence, sent out one of its men to
have a look for himself. He tried the machine out and lost a finger.
The chef's claim was approved.

After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus Driver
found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be Transporting
from Harare to Beltway had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence,
the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a
free ride.He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the
staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre
fantasies.The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.

An American teenager was in the hospital yesterday recovering from
serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he

A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter,
and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man
pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk
promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the
$20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer?
$15.(If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, was a crime
committed?)
************************************************** ******
A thief burst into a Florida bank one day wearing a ski mask and
carrying
a gun. Aiming his gun at the guard, the thief yelled, "FREEZE,
MOTHER-STICKERS, THIS IS A ****-UP!"
For a moment, everyone was silent. Then the snickers started. The
guard completely lost it and doubled over laughing. It probably saved his
life,because he'd been about to draw his gun.
He couldn't have drawn and fired before the thief got him. The
embarrassed thief ran away and is still at
large. In memory of the event, the banker later put a plaque on the
wall engraved with the words, "Freeze, mother-stickers, this is a ****-up!"
************************************************** ******
Seems this Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided
that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some
booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head
at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief
on the head, knocking him unconscious. Seems the liquor store window was
made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.
************************************************** ******
As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed
her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able

Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in
the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the
car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes,
officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."
************************************************** ******
The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a

clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked
away.
************************************************** ******
Kentucky: Two men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by running a
chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck. Instead of
pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they pulled the bumper
off their truck. Scared, they left the scene and drove home... with the
chain still attached to the machine... with their bumper still attached to
the chain... with their vehicle's license plate still attached to the bumper.
They were quickly arrested.

A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER!
When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a
Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at
the scene to find an ill man curled up next to a motor home near
spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to
steal gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank
by mistake.
The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges, saying that it was
the best laugh he'd ever had.
