and we wonder why hollywood doesn't create more "art"

Now, I like the show well enough (more for the theatre of the absurb than the "roll around in vomit" stuff), but the fact that "Jackass: The Movie" just got the 3rd largest October opening ever is more than a tad bit disturbing.

Over $22 million. As Commander Foley would say, Jumpin' Jesus on a Pogo Stick.

This is up there with the shock I had about 3 weeks ago when I realized that "America's Funniest Home Videos" was still on the air. $50K for capturing Grandma wiping out in her wheelchair. Lovely.

I need to start ramming things into my crotch, maybe then I'll start making some of the big bucks.
