humour is human nature, subject matter is not the point!!!

I thought it was hillarious, especially the "Bum Hunter" Steve Irwin parody!

My whole problem with the outrage over this is that the homeless people were (for the most part) willing participants. They are adults and able to make their own decisions. To say they can't is to basically say they're children who don't know what they're doing, which is pretty insulting. People get paid money to take a beating in boxing or MMA - what's the difference. Some people even pay good money to be degraded and abused by a dominatrix - do they also need some kind of outside defender who knows what's good for them too?

Of course not, so the people who are offended need to just move on and get a hobby. The producer going on Dr. Phil being kicked out for dressing like Dr. Phil is a good example. All he did was point out that he exploits people just as much as bumfights - if not even worse because it's 5 days a week, on national TV, he gets paid very well for it, and also pushes his wife/sons new products on the show all the time. The line between that and bumfights is razor thin, despite what bored housewives with nothing better to do would have you believe...
