Part 3: Television Controls Our Minds, In Same Club as Dr. Doom
It's clear the Jackass disclaimers aren't parenting our children enough. With all the time they waste telling us not to skate our skateboards into alligator mouths, they could play an entire commercial about how music and basketball can be our Anti-Drugs.

Enjoy the extra space!

I'm not doing it for me; my life's way too big a mess to notice when Jackass comes on, or even if I've soiled myself or others. And while I'm on that subject, sorry to the guy that has to clean bus seats, movie theatre seats, and nuns.
