Bumfights
    #5811894 -

*nauseous*

Some time ago someone here in the Pub jokingly recommended someone the movie "bumfights".

Under the impression it was some kind of streetfighting flick and curious why it was allegedly so bad, I downloaded it and watched bits and pieces of it just now.

There were some fights, which got my curiosity, granted, but most of the movie consists of the most disgusting exploitation of people I have ever seen. If people choose to get themselves riled up to a fight thats their business. But that wasn't what this movie was about.

Coercing homeless crackheads to pull their own teeth with pliers, jumping them and throwing one pound rocks at their heads from acxross a parking lot in their sleep and ducktaping them up presented as if it were a wildlife documentary, setting their hair on fire and more such niceness. Sociopath middle-class kids amusing themselves with the home and helpless.

Karma will pay them in full, I'm sure, but this is the worst sickest shit I have ever seen. I can never get used to sociopath mentality. I hope these kids were jailed or otherwise put out of our misery :sad:

I know, all these kids laugh about it, but for some reason I don't find it too funny the way they treat those people.

Maybe a brain has something to do with it?

The things they do is one thing, but the casual mentality that allows for jumping sleeping people and hogtying them, or incite them to pull out a front tooth with pliers for money, that mentality scares the shit out of me and makes me sick to my stomach as well as angry.

Blood flows freely in that video, people get kicked in the face because of their actions, and they think its funny.

To be indifferent to suffering is one thing, but to get your kicks inflicting it is quite another.

The sad thing is, that world is so fucked up right now, that they probably won't get karmic retribution. The end is near and most people don't even know it and if they do, they're afraid to stare it in the face and acknowledge it.

All you can do is be the good you want to see in the world. If you do that, you've got nothing to worry about.

I felt the same way when I first saw Happy Slapping videos.

Sadly this is exactly why our entertainment industry as we know it was created.
To help us become fully desensitized so we do not realize that WE are the homeless man on the street being beaten for entertainment by a cadre of wealthy degenerates who place themselves on a pedestal above us for a myriad of reasons...

that is so fucking awful.
what has our world come to? join a fucking boxing ring and beat up people who actually want to be beaten up.

that's disgusting.

i live in an area where a lot of bums live cause it's always warm.
and the bums i've met have been chill as fuck.
they don't deserve that shit.
no one does.

Yeah those movies are pretty disgusting.  I'm not a revengeful person, but if I ever found one of those kids...well it wouldn't be pleasant.

From Wikipedia: Bumfights

Quote:
Bumfights: Cause for Concern is an independent video originally created by Indecline in documentary style showing homeless people ("bums") fighting and attempting amateur stunts in exchange for money, alcohol, and other incentives. Homeless people were actually hurt in the making of these videos and had no stunt doubles. The film was produced by Ryan McPherson, Zachary Bubeck, Daniel J. Tanner, and Michael Slyman, and has been distributed mainly over the Internet. In 2003, Indecline sold the rights to another company, who in turn credited the pseudonyms "Shannon Muston" and "Taylor White" as the creators. The videos have proven to be highly controversial. They have been banned in a number of countries and felony charges, misdemeanor convictions and civil lawsuits have been filed against the producers. The film-makers maintain that the production of the video was a mutually beneficial arrangement and that the homeless people depicted freely chose to participate.

In July 2004, four teenagers in Melbourne, Australia, faced murder charges after they set fire to a homeless man's makeshift shelter, supposedly inspired by the Bumfights videos. In August 2005, two 19-year-old men attacked homeless Los Angeles residents with baseball bats, saying they were inspired by Bumfights.

In April 2006, the four filmmakers agreed to pay three men depicted in the videos and not to produce any more "Bumfights" videos or distribute videos already made, under a settlement announced as a lawsuit was to go to trial.

Actually theres quite a few of them now:

"The release of “Bum Fights” in 2001 has led to a proliferation of bum videos. To our knowledge, six different videos have been produced in the past six years: “Bum Fights,” “Bum Fights II,” “Bum Fights III: The Felony Footage,” “Bum Hunts,” “Bum Show.com,” and “Bag Lady Beatings.“ In these videos, homeless people are coerced to perform degrading and dangerous stunts for minimal rewards while filmmakers turn large profits"

A couple kids from my hometown(Ft. Lauderdale) brutally beat three bums in their sleep with metal pipes and bats just about six months ago and were caught on tape in one of the acts from a surveilence camera outside a public library. One of the bums died as a result of his injuries. I think it was probably inspired by this sick bumfights bullshit. I think its just plain fucked up that people have no regard for their fellow man. Yeah their bums and probably worthless peices of shit but their human just like us no one is perfect. Needless to say they were caught and I hope they get prosecuted to the fullest extent.

Oh I would like to say that all kidding aside, the way homeless people in general are treated, at all levels and by most of society.. it's a fucking disgrace. I know a homeless guy who's not lazy, a crackhead, stupid or mentally ill (well, bipolar but that's it). He chooses to be "off the grid" and whatever. Getting by working the occassional job and selling his artwork.

People like to dehumanize whoever it is they want to abuse or exploit, it makes it easier for them to sleep at night. Cognitive dissonance at work. :frown:

Depends on how you look at it. The FoD videos show people meeting with a sometimes horrible fate, but they were not hurt/killed for the purpose of making a sick video.

FoD are deadly accidents, capital punishment etc, but in Bumfights people are actually mistreated and hurt for entertainment purposes. Quite a difference, death videos are hard on me mentally but in death videos the camera is witness to the atrocity, not the offender.
