OK, guys--what's up with this?

At home doing housework and making phone calls today. For the past two hours, I've been watching a show that is basically video clips of people doing stupid things. So far, I think all but three have been young men doing moronic things like climbing into a lion enclosure at a zoo or getting hurt fooling around with powerful fireworks. The few involving women seem to be just pratfalls caused by momentarily being distracted or something like that. C'mon guys--really?

1. I know, I find those "bunch of stupid guys doing stupid things" shows disturbing.

I especially hate the Tosh show because he is into Hate shit. Thinks doing mean things to
people is funny.

Very corruptive in our society.

2. These really aren't in the "mean" category.

For example, one guy tried to remove a fishing hook from a baby lemon shark--with predictable results. And they just showed one about a guy who tried to rob a convenience store--but he failed to notice the cop in line right behind him. Now that takes the prize!

3. I love the dumb criminal ones!

5. OK- I didn't read all the comments first...

These FAIL shows are the illegitimate children of America's Funniest Home Videos. Not Jackass.

4. The Jackass Effect

The stupidest show of all time spawned so many stupid bastard children it's scary. This is a big part of why the rest of the world sees Americans as boobs.
