Happyslapping...

its pretty fucked, but pretty inevitable i think. sometimes i am surpirsed that there isnt more random acts of violence around. as a kid at the public school i got knocked about a bit on a friday night, but i was usually aware that it was gonna happen. i dont like the randomness of this, esp. at bus stops.

How are we gonna increase market share of buses if this sort of shit happens?!!?

B b but Americans invented it! Its from Jackass, innit?

Also: I guess the footage I'd like to see is the "happyslapping" incident "gone wrong" where the bullies get hospitalised by their "victim"

Apparently thats happened too - someone I know says theyve seen footage of some little american shits in a car doing, of all things, drive-by slappings by leaning out car doors. Exept this one kid misjudged his lean out, and fell out the car, and got run over and killed.

I cant feel a drop of sympathy either.

Quote from David Lynch, years ago: "I hate the fact that the law allows scum to walk on your lawn, but they arrest you if you shoot 'em."

They don't do happyslapping around here, and since I'm in Florida, we can now shoot/stab/assault them to death on the fucking street if we feel threatened by anyone. Happyslapping will never work here. Maybe they made the law as a preventive measure so as not to have happyslapping catch on here? I highly doubt it, of course -- I know it isn't -- but it'd be slightly amusing if it were.

At lunch for the past two years I used to sit with a group of acquaintances and they used discuss Jackass with frequency as if it were the pinnacle of television programming. They also discussed anime and video games relentlessly. I'm not sure how I ever tolerated any of that (and my 13-year-old brother does the same thing now -- except that we don't have cable and so he doesn't watch Jackass), and I'm not sure how any of them ever came to associate with me in the first place aside from them having regarded me as an eccentric curio. Yikes! It's quite a stretch to go from that to reading ilXor in the span of a few hours.

It is, though. The Bounty Hunter skit- funniest thing on TV ever.

which one was that?

I was shocked and my feelings were really hurt and I started to cry later as I walked home. It made me feel a little better knowing this might be part of some random 'dare' thing and that it happens to other people.

maybe if they called it "karmic bedwetting" nobody would want to do it

Surely "It's Chico Time" would have been the correct response.

That still reads extremely strongly and kind of off the wall to me, for the Guardian, it's weird.

what are "rice flails"?

(x-post - "rice flails" = 2 bars joined by a chain as seen in the banned scene from "Enter the Dragon")

I sometimes wonder do they consciously try and mimic tabloids in some pieces.

"A Clockwork Orange" perhaps?

hahaha!

i dunno why they got manslaughter and not murder.
