Editor,
I don’t entirely agree with Brad-Lord Leutwyler that MTV’s “Jackass” is the downfall of civilization. I mean people have been pulling ridiculous and dangerous stunts as long as man could walk upright.
It just proves that man now has the technological equipment to broadcast such stunts to the majority of young adults several times a week.
But I thought Daily Lobo readers might be interested to know that “Jackass” hits closer to home than Leutwyler seems to be aware of.
One of its co-stars is Albuquerque native Steve-O. Last time I watched “Jackass” I saw Steve-O swallow a live goldfish and then regurgitate it. He also has performed similar stunts in a skateboarding video put out by Big Brother.
It seems he’s really getting his name out there. So now that we know that even a young lad from our fair community can make it in the field of stupidity, who’s ready to celebrate by blowing something up?
