PTI (Pardon the Interruption on ESPN) had a bit on this, just want to have your thoughts
Grand Theft Auto Vice City
Jackass the movie
-
Are you against the two or something?
-
Jackass is worst, because the guy is actually doing the crazy stuff in real life. Vice City is just a game.
-
I think neither have a negative effect on society, except for the occasional Jackass copycat.
-
Jackass.
He has a massive following here in Australia. Kids are now doing all kinds of crazy dangerous stuff here.
At least in VC its not real.
-
According to Tony Kornheiser it\'s GTA, while Michael Wilbon
says it\'s Jackass, if I remember right. I think none are bad for society myself, but the closest is Jackass.
-
None. Societies cannot be transformed, society is unique and the changes are real, but you cannot say a game can transform a society.
-
Neither is bad . Idiots are bad for society and if these people copy either one of those media\'s, it is what I like to call "natrual selection".
-
third option:
religion....
/me dives into cave and rolls a boulder in front...
-
Idiots who ape the crap.
...and only Islam Chizz:p

One of the two explained that in a Theatre in New Jersey, they had to stop the showing of the movie because kids were throwing stuff and the screen and pissing on the wall. I mean, come on, what the ****? What kind of dumbshit pees on the wall at a theater?
See Yuz.

this is very true....!!!!!
to be honest i love both of these!! jackass rocks in my book, i find it very funny but you are hardly gonna see me swimming in sewers!!
i think the worst thing in society is when somone dont take the blame, and it " oh it this tv programme" or " this computer game made my child do this" stand up and be counted for the stuff you do

The herd mentality is a scary one. Young men in large groups can pretty easily get out of hand. I wouldn\'t let my kid play GTA or watch Jackass until he/she is 16 or so. That\'s the root of the problem - bad parenting. I admit, some kids can watch anything and play any games and nothing bad will ever happen, but you mix that with low IQs, domestic violence in the home, gangster parents, etc...it contributes to the fukked-up morality the child already lives with.
You develop your core personality from the people you\'re with when you\'re a very young child - the parents in most cases. Bad parents spawn more bad parents. A lot of people DO realize that they had bad childhoods and do raise great kids.
It\'s a hard issue to deal with. As much as we\'d like to somehow prohibit certain peole from having children - we can\'t. No one better tell me what I can and can\'t do with my body, and I\'ll give others the same respect.
We have several great methods of birth control, but people still won\'t use it, and it\'s not effective 100% of the time...not to mention the right-wingers who still throw a shit fit when people hand out condoms at school.
And so on, and so on. Bottom line - parents need to pay attention to what the hell their kids are doing.
-
A game is a game and a movie isn\'t a movie. People who reinact things from them are just really stupid and crave attention.
-
I think Jackass should not exist ! its pointless and stupid ! it really sucks and has a bad influence on kids ! here where i live and some kids seeing the movie they trashed the theater ! and i don\'t even live in a big town wich is weird ! I don\'t understand how can people like that and laught at that ? you got to be out of your mind !!!1

Your opinion must = everyones opinion.
-
Bozco could you explain that please ,
-
None- ONly this thread could corrupt a society...
-
jp6666, its just a movie. It was created to entertain and Jackass entertains me. I get to see other people, besides myself, make complete asses out of themselves.
EDIT: I was talking about the show. And you don\'t have to worry about Jackass anymore, the movie is the end.

A lot of people find in entertaining and aren\'t out of their mind.

! it really sucks and has a bad influence on kids !
If a kid is influenced by a movie, than the kid is already mentally disturbed. I grew up on horror / slasher flicks, yet I don\'t go around killing people. Why? Because my mother always reminded me that it was not real and not to mention I had enough common sense to know TV from reality.
If a kid see\'s a stunt on Jackass and tries to do it and ends up killing themselves - good riddance.
Natrual selection.
Chances are if they are that stupid, than they wasn\'t really goin\' to help the world anyways.
-
True dat. Only really stupid kids would do something they saw in a movie or a game. I wouldn\'t do anything like that.
-
peep done this kinda stuff before jackass, i know ive done some of the lesser stupid stuff, shopping trolleys, jumping of stuff etc etc...
u make me laugh as if before jackass none of this was on video etc, maybe u should check out cky, crap, boob, number 2, toy machine welcome to hell etc vids
-
hehe, me and my freinds are making a jackass type movie we have about 2 minutes of footage, its all so fake though especially coz when someone hits someonme else with a baseball bat they start laughing and chasing after them (they were padded with pillows) =]

My thoughts on Jackass the movie
How is watching people hurt themselves funny? What type of society is this the #1 movie in? Yes some can watch this and not be affected by it but there is others who will try to copy what they see in the film. I hear people everywhere talking about how how they want to reenact events that happened in the movie calling it \'cool\' and so on. I also personally know someone who set their brother on fire reenacting a scene in one of the Jackass tv episodes which destroyed most of the muscle tissue in his brothers leg. After he caught on fire the other brother laughed at him for a few minutes like they did in the jack ass episode.... I just feel sorry for anyone who spent $7 to watch garbage.
Grand Theft Auto Vice City
A few months ago I was at the local Blockbuster, a kid ran by saying "I like games where you can kill people" Parents need to be tougher on teens under 17 getting their hands on games like this. By the way, what happened to games like SWAT where you were the good guy? Playing a game like this teaches you to rebel against authority and the like.
There is nothing good to come out of both of these \'entertainment products\'
Anybody watch the 20/20 on the guy (about 20) who reenacted a suicide in teh game Everquest? These games affect people more then you think.
Which is worst? They both are bottom of the junkyard filth but in the long run Jackass will do more damage because of being wider spread and the use of real people for its idiotic stunts

naaaa jackass rock!!!!

Its up to the parents to decide whether or not to allow their kids to play M rated games. I\'m almost 16 and i\'ve been getting M rated games since I was in 5th grade. Does that make my parents responsible? If the parents feel that their kid could play the game, let the parents be parents.
By the way, what happened to games like SWAT where you were the good guy? Playing a game like this teaches you to rebel against authority and the like.
No it doesn\'t teach you to rebel against authority. Those kind of games allow you to be the bad guy for once and kill people and steal cars without the consequences of doing such acts. They take you away from reality and let you do something that you can\'t do in real life, like shoot gangs with guns, get into gang wars and shit like that. If you reinact something from a movie, you are one twisted soul.

wait a minute before there was any films, there wasnt any violence
