Good news. The new Jackass film took $29 million in its opening weekend. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m really looking forward to it. The first one was a flawless masterpiece.
Steve-O can say more about Bush’s America by running through an alligator pit with a chicken tied to his arse than Thomas Friedman could say in a hundred columns.
And the scene in which Dave England –a real genius, in my opinion- wittily takes a dump in a hardware store, as customers look on in disgust, is simply outstanding. With a single satirical turd he challenges our taboos about defecating in hardware stores, and exposes the hypocrisy of a society that condemns a man for excreting out of turn, but sees nothing wrong in spending billions of dollars on weapons each year.
What is more sickening, he is saying, a man having a dung in a shop, or America’s refusal to ratify the Kyoto Treaty? Jackass raises some important questions.
In this clip the genius Steve-O dangles above alligators with a raw chicken attached to his jockstrap. In the US a lot of the humour goes over their heads, unfortunately.
