Jackass / CKY videos come to mind for my generation. Even Bum Fights.

Shame what’s happened to Bam Margera.

> Shame what’s happened to Bam Margera

Considering how much he’s refused support, this was predicted for years. It’s all on him.

I’m always curious why people think that blame has something to do with compassion. They’re entirely orthogonal. If you only have compassion for the blameless, you may not be doing it right.

Why should anyone feel sorry for him? He’s 40 yrs old and lost, he had the time and resources.

I don’t feel sorry for someone who throws away that many chances.

Fair enough. People who do feel compassion for those who caused their own suffering usually do so out of an awareness that they are fallible as well.

Bam Margera looks like he could star on Bum Fights as a bum. They could call it Bam Fights.
