Has anyone heard of this? For those who haven't(myself included, but I have the general idea) it was the idea of two guys to pay some bums to fight and do other stuff for money. And I mean, they do a lot. The reason I bring this up is two-fold.

#1. I can not rent Showgirls on DVD at any rental place because it's "Un-Rated" and I guess it could be considered dangerous to the public. But to the point, the movie is bad enough on it's own to be a danger to public. Kinda like Pootie Tang. But they will rent out videos like Jackass and Bumfights and not worry that kids might possibly try the things on there. Seriously, what's more harming to a child or a young adult? Seeing titties or watching some idiot pole vault into a river of sewer waste? I think I know what your answer is.

#2. I think this bumfights phenomena could lead to more things. I was thinking of a whole Bum Sports Series. I think that if you apply a little thought, you could come up with some low-brow version of real sports and they would be pretty funny. Like a Bum NASCAR thing. The bums all sit in shopping carts and attach themselves by strings to a bus or something. As the bus drives, they have to pull themselves forward until the touch the back of the bus. It would get harder towards the end because all the strings come together and the carts would get jammed up. Of course there would be safety precautions. They could make safety equipment out of stuff they find around. Like old Watermelon helmets for when the carts tip over on the street. Stuff along that line. Or maybe aa Bum version of the Discus where they throw old hubcaps to knock down some food or prize high up. I'm sure people can think of others.

I just think it's wrong for a company like Blockbuster and others to censor some movies and not others. I think it hurts them as I won't BUY Showgirls on DVD, but I would be willing to rent it one or two times. I don't know. OK, time to work.
