Look: Mature people — never mind those easily offended — with better things to do just shouldn’t watch this. Just don’t. It’s juvenile, silly, and better proof than a thousand studies that men in a profound sense are just really stupid in ways that women aren’t. But if you think Jackass is amusing in a Three-Stooges-on-Meth kind of way, then by all means watch it. I did. And I laughed.

Update: Outrage from a reader:

Jonah,
Comparing the Three Stooges to the Jackass crew is like comparing Chaplin’s Great Dictator to Hugo Chavez. One was an entertaining caricature; the other a cretin acting out personal deficiencies. Please refrain from further defamation of the last centuries greatest comic geniuses.
