One of the most revolting things I have ever seen. Its one of the lowest things a person can do, exploit the economic situation of people for nothing more than self serving profiteering and laughs. In all honesty, if I thought I could get away with it I would take a gun and blow out the kneecaps and elbows of the guys who instigated the fights and made the videos. ****ers.

my thought is that, as I've stated on previous occasions, banning obviously doesn't work effectively to either modify behaviour or limit access.

what will modify the behavior as limiting access hasnt worked?

I think its revolting too. For a while I thought it was a good idea, because then at least the bums aren't begging for change, but by backing this video you're almost defending bum-dom. Pretty disgusting. The people who made the video are basically 'furthering' these bums pathetic lives and perpetuating bumness. Maybe if they went up to the bums and said "Hey, if you start a fight with this bum while we film it, we'll get you some clean clothes and help you get a job" it would be halfassed alright, but they don't.

Kinda sad I guess, but not really because I don't have much sympathy for bums in the first place.

They should bundle it with Girls Gone Wild.

Would you mind if I videotaped you doing this? I can sell the tapes, and make a lot of money!!

as far as I know, nothing. people are who they are unless and until THEY decide to change. Since this person rejects complicity or responsibility, that ain't happenin.
But banning used in this way, that is functionally impotent, only makes for a more virulent strain of the bacteria.

Must admit... Trailers seemed pretty enticing to watch...

Then again, one of the primary places they advertised was one of my favorite sites
http://www.foundrymusic.com

I love anything that's advertised or mentioned on it.

Hey macvillage, do you have any idea what happened to O & A after they were fired?
I haven't heard anything new in a while.

at least the site utilizes the QuickTime format.

Nimisys · Nov 14, 2002, 11:48 PM

i have met some of those bums a couple of times ( they hangout about 1/2mile from my old work, near the place i get food at), pretty decent people, kinda of slow, but not to bad, but most ruen away handouts. i know of a few bums in their area that are watched over by the cops, and repediatly refuse food or care offered.

Agreed.

I liked that episode of Undeclared where they watched all those Girls Gone Wild videos and just felt so dirty afterwards.

What happened to that show? That was one of the few new Fox shows I liked.

Saetre · Nov 15, 2002, 02:17 AM

I think this is a great idea. It sure beats that cheesy WWF garbage.

Lots of bums are cool people, don't diss bums.

I haven't heard anything new in a while.

Opie showed up at the Rally on Sept 20....

Anthony was said to have been at Jim Norton's Show in Phili shortly after....

Other than that they have been pretty quiet.... Lots of rumors...

I would guess they will take a year - 18 months off (let things quiet down) then start a show in either NYC, Phili or NJ... their largest fan area.

Did anyone watch the Bum hunter preview?

If you did what were your thoughts?

The Bum Hunter preview, admittedly, was pretty f*cking funny.
