some bum sang sitting on the dock of the bay to me a few weeks ago.

I'm sad to say that I was actually impressed by his singing ability. wink

I'm usually for all low brow humor like that -- but those vidoes were just made out of mean spirit. The people who are the 'stars' of the movie, are very unwilling that they're even in it.

I mean how would you feel knowing that you conned some guy into getting the word bumfights tattooed across their forhead for a can of beer?

If I'm remembering correctly, they couldn't get a conviction because of the unreliablity of the prosecution witnesses.

So they not only picked a group of people to exploit who are so desperate for money that they'll do anything, they made sure it's a group that can't really defend itself.

Here's my take on it:

'Diving For Crack': Exploitation of a certain stricken section of society but everyone's happy with the participation (well, apart from the losers...). biggrin

'Kicking The Fuck Out Of Some Drunk Walking Down The Street': They'll hopefully get the payback for being such pricks that they think they can attack random people just because of their perceived social standing. mad

ok...i havent seen this shit...but knowing alot of homeless people, i'd probably say the exploitation level is not so high...they were probably happy and didn't mind at all to fight for the money. Homeless people are more pragmatic than you might be comforable with. If they didn't want to do it, they'd just say no.

Gee, we ban cock fights, we ban dog fights, lord knows we don't want to exploit the poor fucking roosters and dogs. But somehow it's ok to pull this with people who probably aren't entirely sane? Of course, I can't put up a good arguement against it because I've only watched their trailer.

uh.

think about that. it's exploitive because these people have nothing and will therefore do anything for money. if you convince someone with no options to do something that harms them for money (whether or not they were happy to get the money) you're exploiting them. end of story. not to mention that it is fairly obvious that some of these guys are mentally ill and cannot judge what is ok and what is not.

anyone who thinks otherwise is just plain wrong; this means you.

Sorry, not my kind of humor. In fact, I don't find it funny at all.

I'd like to see the creators drawn and quartered. Now that would be comedy.

yes and i still think its fucking hi-larious
roosters and dogs are different
humans have a high ability to think and greater decision making skills and these people still CHOSE to do these things how are they a victim then?

so you've been homeless...have you ever been desperate ? desparation leaves you without many choices and thus an easy target to dickwads like these.

i personally think it's fucking revolting

True story: When I was living in Kansas City I was walking to where my girlfriend worked. I stopped to light a cigarette and heared someone yell "HEY YOU" right behind me. It was this homeless guy. Before I had a chance to respond he, without any warning, punched me right the the mouth! The he punched me on top of the head and just walked off. I guess that wasn't really a bumfight though because I didn't hit him back.

they made a guy pull out his own teeth. you can't tell me there was any rational thought in that, he was just an addict so desperate he'd lierally do anything, and they exploited that, and now that guy as to suffer for the rest of his life. fucking hilarious whatever

Far from happy, everyone one of them is suing.
