Jackass Number Two has become this week's highest-grossing film. What's wrong with this country?

It didn't work, unfortunately. I just imagine this: If there is intelligent life on other planets, and they caught a trailer of "Jackass" while investigating human behavior...what would they think? And would it be accurate in summing up human nature? I hope not. I'm just worried about our space cred, here.

You dis Crash and praise Jackass 3?
Loved Crash. But to be honest, I haven't yet seen Jackass 3 so I really have no right to comment. All I know about it is that my 14 year old desperately wants to see it, and there's no way in hell we'll let him.
