"In another scene, a self-confessed crack addict sets his head on fire."

Isn't their any chance of making an 'MP Fights' Video?! Seeing Tony and IDS fight it out with lighter fluid and a box of matches could be quite entertaining!!!

Great Idea!
It'd be a win for IDS I reckon - him being an ex army man and all that.
Still, reckon Tony would TALK a good fight though....

Oh the satire!

Pretty sick idea of those filmmakers, though.

Still...the bums agreed. Presumably got paid too. Now they're complaining they did work for money? Hmmmmn. They should never have agreed to it...and their physical addictions are no excuse.

I have no sympathy for any of the parties involved.

The only reason why society is so revolted is that its a reflection of how our society operates in a microcosm.
Every facet of society is based on inequality and the exploitation of eachother as a result.

It's only a matter of time before the US and then us in the UK (via channel 5 of course) have real syndicated gladiator shows on telly. With real swords blood death and guts etc. Probably using captured Iraqi soldiers / paedophiles (or unlucky paediatricians) or speeding motorists.

First company to get a license will make a killing.

Yep! Just the facts of life mate. Take the classic example of the most aggressively homophobic person turning out to be gay. Its a externalisation of what we hate and fear (our shame) inside ourselves. This operates at a societal level as well as individually.
Thus we all find this bum fight unsettling becase it reminds us of the worst aspects and failings of society and ourselves.
Or not.

"Makers of Bum fights arrested"

http://dailynews.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=638&ncid=762&e=1&u=/nm/20020925/en_nm/leisure_bumfights_dc

The only bum fights the makers will have now is with Bubba and his friends.

Yeah, I can imagin this being done before long from an off-shore ship via satellite.

I'm sure the ratings would be huge, I rekon I would be tempted to watch

Currently looking into purchasing the ship nike were using for the footy ads in the summer. (no cantona didn't really sink it....)

Should be about the right size. Figure a couple of mates can rig the broadcast side of it, any PH'ers out there willing to fight to the death to make me rich?
