Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted April 20, 2003 As sad as it is, you're probably right YnA. I will truly cherish the day if a kid's parents come out and says "Hey, his friends are great, their parents are very responsible, and the makers of this product did nothing wrong, our son is just a shithead" I will dance long and hard that day.

Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted April 20, 2003 I found this while scanning the wires this morning. Figured it fits in w/ the topic... http://www.sunspot.net/entertainment/custo...ent%2Dheadlines ST. PAUL, Minn. -- A 14-year-old boy was burned over 65 percent of his body after setting himself on fire to mimic a stunt from the "Jackass" television show on MTV. Just before clicking the lighter, he stared into a video camera and said: "Don't try this at home." The boy, who was not identified, has had three major surgeries since the stunt in late March and is expected to survive, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported Friday. According to the Dakota County sheriff's office, the boy, from Hastings, and a friend were doing a "blooper video" for a class project. For one of the stunts, the boy used mineral spirits and a lighter to set himself on fire. An episode of "Jackass" showed a "human barbecue" stunt in which a man in a fire-retardant suit covered himself with steaks and got on a grill. The show and the movie it inspired include a warning to not to try the stunts at home and they say the producers don't accept submissions. But several serious injuries have been linked to attempts to imitate its stunts. In Indiana, a 13-year-old boy died in December and five other teens were injured after their speeding van hurtled off a railroad track and crashed into a parked car. In New Mexico, a 15-year-old boy died after jumping on the hood of a moving car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted April 20, 2003 There's no way to justify how stupid he is. Under no circumstances should u look into the barrel of something that shoots a projectile. ESPECIALLY one that shoots a frog with a lot of force. It says on freakin' Nerf foam dart guns to not point at face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
