I saw some clips of this controversial video on TV today, it showed Bum's (tramps as we call them in the UK) beating the crap out of each other for food, clothes, money or liquor. It also showed some guy getting tied up violently (Kidnapped??) with tank/gaffer tape.

I am sure many of you have heard of this video and I was wondering what you think about it. Vote in the poll.

That's sick. I really can't find any humor or entertainment out of arseholes taking advantage of someone's lifestyle like that :mad:. I mean of course 99% of the time the guys would do it. It's either that or starve. That's sad and pathetic that people would do something like that, and then put it on TV no less :rolleyes:.

So many bums on street I see on the way to school. I think its ok for them to fight...Its something to do other then ask me for money...Those I would leave the cameras out of it...especialy if other bums watch through a store window at a TV and see this. The street would be over-run.

No they were doing a report about it on TV, they said theres much worse than the clips they showed. The video is available to buy at shops and aparantly over 200,000 copies have sold across America. Now the producers are making another Bum Fights video.

Oh alright then. But still even making videos of **** like this is just pathetic and sickening. One thing I'd like to know is, who actually buys this garbage? I mean they've sold 200,000 copies? For crying out loud, are some people's sense of humor beginning to become that warped? :rolleyes:

If it was on a sitcom I'd laugh my head off, but if it's actual footage of real bums the humor isn't there.

Is this question about bums fighting, or putting it on tape for entertainment.

What I mean is do you agree with the concept of well... bribing these people to do these things when they otherwise wouldn't and then being weird enough to record it happening and sell it to people.

Of course the people who buy stuff like this worry me just as much.

Ive never seen anybody bribe any bums (I think), though I have seen bums fight over good street spots, and things on the floor.

I think that it is rediculous to commercialize something as serious as street violence...regardless if it is a bunch of bums fighting over food or actual riots. If they were putting it out there so that people would have knowledge that it is going it is one thing...but that doesn't seem to be the case since they are making a second one.
