Bum Fights

'What isn't wrong about Bum Fights? Morally, legally, physically - name it, this site is just plain wrong. AWFUL.

So, what is Bum Fights? The name is pretty straightforward, but we'll take the time to explain it for some of the slower folks out there. It's, well, bums fighting. The hitch is that they are getting paid to do this - perhaps with alcohol or various illegal substances - and, in exchange, the fights get videotaped. Technically, the only difference between this and pay-per-view professional boxing is that Don King isn't getting a cut of it. Oh, that and there doesn't seem to be any rules of respect among these pugilists.

Bums fighting. It happens every day. The people you turn away from at intersections or refuse to give change to congregate in public places and beat the living crap out of one another. Sounds very Chuck Palahniuk, doesn't it? Trust me, these people look nothing like Brad Pitt or Edward Norton. They don't even look like Jared Leto after he gets his face beaten in. We're talking bloody, gritty, honest-to-goodness crackheads here.

Speaking of crackheads, the thing that really catapults them over that line separating morality and immorality is a special little section they have with a man who goes by Bling Bling. Mr. Bling is Bum Fight's very own crack expert. His video excerpt on this site is called "Crack Smoking A-Z." He happily explains the difference between good rock and bad rock and, as may be assumed, how to smoke it. The one thing he fails to mention, though, is what happened to all of his teeth.

The true star of this series belongs to Rufus the Stunt Bum. You may ask what a stunt bum does. Well, he runs head first into solid walls and newsstands. He jumps off of elevated platforms. He passes out and ends up bloody with scraped knuckles. These are his stunts - hurting himself.

To date, there have been no reported accounts of people having their ears bitten off. So, it's got that going for it, which is nice.

As for the video series, what we've seen so far is absolutely appalling.

When you pride yourself on quotes stating that Howard Stern and Tom Green are even shocked by your work, you're probably heading in the wrong direction.
