whats your point? That's right send a message to kids that violence is cool, just what the society needs more of? |
This message is already out, so why not profit from it?
Hollywood and video games do it so why cant he ?
And its not like its on TV, its on the internet, and you have to PAY FOR IT. Little kids dont have credit cards.
Face it, we dont live in a perfect society.
People make money from alot worst things then what this guy does. |

Any bumfight footage I've ever seen has been free access, so kids do see this stuff. Thing is, he also pays people to send in their footage (unlike the Jackass people), so u got morons trying to impersonate the scumbags on top of it.
If you watched the rest of the show, you would know the topic came up of the rise of violence against homeless people. Upon arrest, those charged had admitted watching bumfight videos.
Don't even compare big corporation practices to this kind of trash. They are 2 totally different beasts, with 2 totally different outcomes. |

I think that big corparations are anologous to this guy, they just do what he does on a global scale. Instead of exploiting poverty domesticly, they expoit it in other countries. And they hurt ALOT more people then this guy does.
I am not saying that what this guy is doing is right or "MORAL", but what i am saying is that he is inline with what is acceptable business practice in our society. |

plz list the stakeholders that he hurts by doing this show or movie wat ever it is.
I see it as he is hurting the bums physicly but he is paying for it, it is like a stunt men or a daredevil.
The other people that can get hurt is if young children get a hold of this. In this respect, i think that it is the parents job to monitor how children use the internet and what content is accesible to them.
On the other hand, He makes lots of money and the viewers get entertainment. |

the problem here is hes not getting your average joe blow and saying, hes 20$. now pull out your front teeth with pliers. hes picking those with little defences. they lack the mental ability to stand up for themselves. they are sick, whether b/c of drugs, alcohol or mental disease. they are desperate.
i don't know anyone that would agree to what he makes them do. no one in their right mind WOULD. hes a vulture, preying on our most vulnerable citizens. its sick and twisted. there is NO entertainment value in this. this ISN'T a fair fight! this is a sucker punch at its worst |

Dr. Phil is a moron because he gave the guy free publicity. I did not find that stuff entertaining either, but i know some people who would. |

u know sick and twist people
personally i think the reason behind dr phils move was to take a stance 9as explained earlier) and show people that there is NOTHING this guy could say to justify what hes doing. dr phil takes on tons of fuct ppl, and here hes saying..you are the most sick individual i've met. i can't even deal with you |

I know 2 guys who used to fake car addicents. One guy would stand in a parking lot at say a 7 eleven and the other guy would hit him with a car. This was all staged, but the gas station attendent would go crazy. Of course the guy who was gettin hit had traning in gymnastics and martial arts, but still its a twisted stunt to pull.
They even made a video but i never saw it. |
