This Movie Should be Banned


You dont need to be overly smart to see the damage this movie is causing, just look at the way young people are behaving as a result of seeing this joke of a movie, not only putting themselves in harms way but by bullying and harrasing other people. Look at the recent events in Melbourne, Australia with a group of about 5 or 6 boys (all good little catholics, mind you) assulted, tormented, unrinated on and even set a girls hair on fire in the name of 'fun' and openly revealing crap such as Jackass is there insperation. They even filmed it, put it on DVD and on the internet and sold it for $5 a copy, talk about sick.

The film makers of this movie have a lot to be sorry for and a lot of explaining to do. The above incident is just one example, there is something stupid on the news almost every night about how people (and not always kids, often it's 20 somethings) that do stupid stunts to look cool. How many times does something have to happen before someone shuts down these idiots from putting other peoples lives in danger.

right... just because a kid is of some religin does not mean that is actually what they belive... they may just be that way because of their parents. plus what makes you think they wouldnt have done this if jackass didnt exist. stop blaming the movie its the fault of the stupid little idiots that think "hey hurting ourselves is fun". and yes, i know thats mainly what they are doing in jackass, but these are grown idiot men. so let them do what they want.

it's teh guys of jackass's descion adn they know the cosequences of doing stupid thing many of them have seriosuly injured themselfs during the t.v show production or during the first or second movie, they know the risks associated with preforming this stupid stunts...... and it doens't hurt that they have on set medics and stunt men totell them what theyshould or shouldn't do

the boys who set that girls hair on fire were idiots they probably didn't know that that if we set someones hair on fire they will burn and sh!t. Seriosuly onew thing that i've learned from jackas sis not to copy what they do because it's tupid and you could die from doing it

mindless entertainment is funny
but acting mindless isn't funny at all

I don't think you can actually pin-point the exact reason for them doing this. Blaming Jackass for what those kids did is idiotic. It's just as lame as blaming Manson for Columbine.

reply

You can't simply blame Jackass for these peoples behaviour, although that there is a link is undeniable. You have to take into account the parents; why are these little idiots watching something that is clearly rated for under 18s in the first place? But heck, I’m under 18 and have never been inclined to set someone’s hair on fire after watching Jackass. I don’t even remember them doing that on the show. Whatever, what I’m trying to say is that although Jackass is stupid, mindless (but funny) entertainment that will probably influence people to act like total morons, people should take a look at the state of affairs elsewhere, and try to deal with the source of the problem directly -parents, schools etc.- rather than complain about a small offshoot of it.

reply

you really shouldnt blame jackass for what some stupid kids did i mean the movie specifically says do not attempt these stunts at home so if they didnt listen to the warning then thats their oen fault not the movie

reply

why should it be banned its the kids fault for not listening in the beginning of every movie show or watever they put up the warning og do not re-create or renact any stunts seen on the show sooo not the movies fault its the idiotic kids fault for not listening

What happens if u get scared half to death twice??

reply

Why not just ban Australians? I'm sure the majority of people whould rather be Aussie-free rather than Jackass-free.

Do they teach Bar skills at school in Australia? I've never seen an aussie work anywhere else?

I got a better idea. How about execute these kids and all their immediate relations so we can eliminate those bad genes from the pool? Either we can embrace eugenics (what I just described) or bring back personal responsibility and hold the parents accountable for allowing their children to view this kind of material in the first place.

The film may have inspired those actions in some form but there are reasons why ratings boards exist for films in countries all around the world.

Alright look, there's only one return, okay, and it ain't "of the King," it's "of the Jedi."

reply

lamest board discussion ever, if you don't like the movie, then dont watch it and dont bitch about it. Because Jackass kicksass

reply

i thoroughly agree that this movie should be banned... one night while i was sleeping in my bed a group of savage teens who had watched every episode of Jackass broke into my home and pixelated my genitals, I tried to shout obscenities at them to scare them away but it only came out as bleeps...

reply

It wasn't meant seriously. That's the bad thing about the written word - it's not effective at expressing sarcasm. I was hoping that what I had posted was so outrageous that people would think I was definitely not serious. Obviously, I didn't hit that bar. I'll help break it down for you though:

"Either we can embrace eugenics (what I just described)" - the obviously outrageous option.
"...or bring back personal responsibility and hold the parents accountable for allowing their children to view this kind of material in the first place." - The hopefully plausible solution that people *should* pick. If this is also an "outrageous" solution, then I guess the world is in more trouble than I thought.

Alright look, there's only one return, okay, and it ain't "of the King," it's "of the Jedi."

Don't blame the show, blame the parents.

i think its the parents fault! this movie is 18 rated so the kids parents shouldnt be letting their kids watch jackass!

reply

it's a fiar point you make, but sometimes kids can sneak behind their parents backs and get a copy, or buy a knocked off copy. When I was young and I am sure everyone was young we all did things without our parents knowing.

If kids r stupid enough 2 imitate them after all the disclaimers they air they so be it maybe they will learn a lesson. AND WHAT U WOULD RATHER HAVE KIDS GROW UP AND BE PIMPS OR HOOKERS AND GET SHOT OR SELL THEIR BODY 4 SEX THAN BREAK THIER TAILBONE TRYIN 2 IMITATE JACKASS?! JUST SHUT UP AND DON'T WASTE UR TIME POSTIN THAT KIND OF CRAP ON THIS BOARD

this guy should go F UCK himself!!!

reply

im under 18 and i watch jackass and honestly, ive never thought about setting a girls hair on fire or recreating ne of the stunts ive seen. If anything, it makes me not want to do them; they *beep* hurt! this kids in australia were, for lack of a better term, jackasses who probably only said that their inspiration was jackass cuz their lawyers told them to. Its a good excuse, but not a real excuse.

Oh haha. The advisory that says 'Dont Try This *beep* At Home' is there for a reason, idiot.

reply

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the only person that got happy slapped in Jackass: the movie, Bam's mate on the john? Sure, these guys knock THEMSELVES about, being ex-skateboard stuntblokes and all, but when they were running about in panda suits in the street they appeared to be making members of the public laugh, even the cops, not attacking schoolgirls.

reply

THIS MOVIE SHOULD NOT be banned! it's the fu cking parent's fault! they let 10 year olds watch this movie, OF COURSE they will try this stuff at home! you all are stupid ass-holes for letting your kids watch this sh!t. (good movie though!) think next time. When you really look at it, the PARENTS are the REAL jackasses!


am I right?

Leave it to some "morally correct" lunatic to protest a great movie!
