I caught a glimpse of this on one of the t.v.s here at work. I don’t know much about it because the volume was off, but what I saw made me sick. There’s aparently a video out called “Bumfights,” where a couple of guys film themselves driving around in their nice white BMW, and then stop by the side of the road and kick the shit out of homeless people. Apparently, they also pay homeless people to fight and do “stunts,” but that doesn’t excuse the horrible imagery I saw. It’s one thing to fight, it’s another thing to jump on a homeless person, gag them with duct tape, and then procede to beat the ever living shit out of them.
What the fuck it wrong with people? CKY has been doing this type of shit for a good long while, but at least when they shove someone down a flight of stairs in a shopping cart, it’s one of their friends who’s a willing participant in a stupid, potentially deadly act. Not some poor human being that would do pretty much anything for enough money to buy a decent meal or a bottle of beer. If it was released on the news that a person or group of persons were beating old homeless people, there would be nothing but contemptable feelings from society. But put it on a video, and people will buy it for $19.99.
GOD, I fucking hate people sometimes.
Oh, and I’m not sure if I’m doing it right, but if you want a bit more information, here’s the homepage so you can check it out for yourself. http://www.bumfights.com/indecline/
I couldn’t access the link at work, but I can’t believe these people haven’t been arrested if this is for real. Maybe they’re actors with a sick sense of humor? That sounds like sheer insanity to me.
I saw this on the news last night. Apparently, they’re investigating to find out if any laws were actually broken. Everything might have been legal, because the “bums” all agreed, presumably on tape, to participate.
Incidentally, they interviewed one of the producers - some 23-year-old punk kid who talked really big and drove a nice car, but wore huge sunglasses the whole time, so he wouldn’t be recognized. Sick sick bastards.

The same people participating in the Bumfights also have a tape showing how they sneak up on homeless guys at the dump or wherever and act like they are trying to capture a wild animal! They ductape his hands and feet, act like they are inspecting him while talking to the camera about what kind of “species” theyve captured and running commentary the whole time. Then they write some kind of a number on the guys forehead in order to “mark” him! It’s supposed to be a parody of that show that the Australian guy hosts. I cant think of the name of it right now. Crazy shit!
Yeah I read about this before. IIRC this was actually filmed several years ago. It had the same effect on me when I first heard about it, It made me fucking sick to my stomach.
