I heard one guy say 'Hello Sailor' once. If you say shit like that you are broadcasting the fact you are gay and quite possibly slutty but not all gays are like this. It's like a girl flashing her tits in a pub, she is gonna go around a lot and broadcast sex.
It boils down to the fact you can't tell if a guy is gay so you are only going to notice the 'screamers' like Norton. Some of the best friends I have are gay and never go around shouting 'Ooo, get her!' and shit like that.

"I don't think I have said anything homophobic, I have merely stated that the show's content is homoerotic."
Don't worry Bill, I didn't think you did but i'm just making sure others know as i've seen some shocking things said on this MB about homosexuality. Some people just need educating and it never hurts to do so.

Shocking the way this thread has changed direction...
I can't really comment on gay people, since I think I've only met one in my entire life. She was a postman.

Never mind the fact that there have been thousands of serious injuries (including deaths) sustained by fans of this show copying their oh so zany stunts.
They do that themselves, no use of blaming johnny knoxville or others. People are responsible for their own actions. You also want to blame all stuntmen in actionmovies for people imitating them?
If people like it, just let them. Not everyone likes the same things you like bill. What do you think is funny then? Benny Hill or something...

I know mate. I'm just using stereotypes. While I haven't had any gay friends, I know they aren't all Norton-clones. I mean, Norton and his ilk just trade off being camp gays. Its a friendly representation of the gay community that straight society likes and feels comfortable with.

jackass: the movie, had an awesome opening scene. I didn't go expecting much, but, I laughed pretty consistently throughout the whole flick. they're idiots, they admit that openly. that's part (if not all) of the joke (hence the name of the movie). if you don't find it funny just don't watch it. it's pretty easy to ignore really.

The programme is watched predominately by 11-17 year old boys, I think it would be safe to assume. Now these boys can't say stuff like "hey, let's fire a bunjee rope into the hoover dam and then jump off of it like I saw in the james bond film" but they can say things like "lets skateboard over that cliff wearing just my underpants." Do you see the difference? Kids don't generally copy film stunts because they can't copy film stunts. That is why these twats are dangerous. anybody can attempt to copy them with often fatal consequences. Normally I would say "good, another idiot dead" but for the sake of an argument i will say "it's a disgrace".
there are several comdians and comedies i enjoy and I can think of one i particularly like.

Perhaps, but as Morton says it's not the show's fault. You can't ban every show that might be copied by some kid. Ok let's ban the spiderman cartoons 'cause someone might try and climb out of his/her bedroom window on the 5th floor. Don't you see the absurdity there?
I agree that Jackass is mind-numbingly pointless but it isn't their fault. I you want to rant about it, rant about the television companies that permit such shows to be aired. Moan about the plumeting quality of TV shows and movies. Rant about the 'morons' who actually watch and pay good money to see this stuff because they're the real culprits. Take them out of the equation and there is no Jackass.
And as for Jackass being th worse thing to have been broadcast, that's laughable. Just switch on the TV in the UK. The simple fact of the matter is that other than the odd documentary and the news (which I don't watch anymore after they placed an article about that fucking turd prince william's gap year BEFORE a piece about some poor 5 year black kid being beaten to death) there is simply NOTHING

I really like Jackass/CKY and those movies. I also like Crusty demons of dust and the Slednecks movies, to name a few. Me and my mates usually start a good party by drinking beer and laughing at steve-o, bam, knoxville and the rest. It's great fun and when you're drunk you're in the right mood!

Exactly.
And while a lot of other shows on TV are full of idiots and crap, at least jackass doesn't pretend to be serious. I'm talking about docutainment. Ricki Lake / Springer / Big brother and all that sort of shite. I like it raw.

I think there is a descent argument that shows like friends and whatever else fake reality shit is on TV right now are more dangerous than jackass and the like. because shows like that are equally assinine, but, they portray that type of life as perfectly rational.
so, what we end up with is an entire generation of children growing up thinking that they are going to get to have sex with a different absolutely beautiful woman/guy every week. all problems are solvable in a day or two, and all have a clear cut moral. when these kids grow up and see that life is not all that rosey, and that things are much more complicated they essentially have an identity crisis. their percieved reality doesn't match what's happening to/around them.
like magiker said, at least in jackass they fully admit that what they are doing is retarded.

You're all correct. Comedy is objective and if people enjoy watching lots of semi clad guys inflicting pain on each other in a rather camp fashion then who am I to comment.

It never ceases to amaze me how much people will prostitute themselves in the off chance they might get a bit part on Ri:se tv and maybe a record deal. The worst thing is, although I never saw it, I bet all the guys said yes. If my bird took me on television to propose to me then I would know categorically she was not the woman to marry.

Yes, I've decided if a woman ever takes me on TV I will dump her immediately afterwards.
The people on shows like popstars are so repulsive. It'd like to take a sledge hammer and cave in every single one of their painted on smiles. Perhaps I'd get a record deal then...

Oh Bill, you missed a real treat. ALL the blokes said 'yes'. In fact, the last guy said in a voice that bterayed his real intentions. He said "This isn't the right time...I should be asking YOU". For a moment you thought he was gonna say no, but he said yes. It was a truly beautiful moment and made for great television. And the use of music was very good; nice epic ballads from Celine Dion, Mariah etc.

I am truly sorry I missed it and I sure it was one of those "where were you when you saw.." moments. Anyway, I wish all the contestants all the best and I hope that they make a reality series out of it. They could visit all the contestants, seeing how they are all getting on in their marriages. And maybe we could have a weekly vote about who we think should get divorced first or who should try for children first. And the couple that stay married the longest could win a fucking speedboat.
