I saw it also, and it was really depressing.

It sounds cute-people bumping their naked bums against each other, right?

I am not sure if you are joking.

Bumfighting is:
People find a couple of bums, homeless people, and pay them a few bucks or sometimes liquor, to fight eachother. Sometimes they pay them to do stupid stuff like ride a shopping cart down concrete steps.

The worst part is the repercussions of this film. A homeless man in Australia gut burned to death by 4 teenagers and another teanager was close to death when 3/11 boys (or something like that) recorded them beating him up.

I recall a friend telling me about this about a year back. Thing is today we have people taking advantage of less fortunite people all the time. Prostitutes, boxers, unskilled labour. I think this has just brought to our attention how low we can sink.

Well, these were filmed in my city (San Diego) and these were a very big deal back when it happened a few years ago. I'm kind of surprised that it's coming up now. Anyhow, the sad part is how popular these were among teenagers and how funny they thought they were. For some reason watching poeple do extremely stupid stuff has become very popular. (Jacka$$, Viva la Bam). Why is someone runnning into a wall on a bicycle a hit show? I don't get it.

Dehumanization by society, lack of morals, sociopathic behaviour. When rats and miced are placed in aquariums too full of other mice/rats, they begin to perform abherrent behaviours; cannabalism, violence, etc.
It is the same with people. We are so far removed from the basic struggle for daily sustenance. Too much time on our hands, too much violence and lack of respect on telly, music videos, movies, no parents in the home. Always looking for the next big thrill.
We (America) are the new Roman Empire. Remember what happened to them? The decadence, the bloody gladiatorial battles, sacificing Christians to the lions? Killing people in plays, Nero?

I can't believe I thought it was people wrestling with their butts. How dumb am I? That is not a question for debate, btw 🙂

.... I see, the diagnosis is a serious case of the "Jerry Springer Ethics" syndrome ....

It is said that this syndrome can spread even faster than SARS, there seems to be no cure. Health authorities have warned people that are particularly at risk ..... now guess who that can be ?

It was so lousy and it didn't even bother the kids who did it.
Did they ever get prosecuted?

I didn't see it (I'm quite glad) but procecuted for what. If they were paying someone to perform a task, the person did it of their own free will, and the task itself wasn't illegal then they are clear in the eyes of the law.

Then again, you have to have a licence to organise fights (when money is involved), and fighting in the street is probably illegal... maybe they could be nicked after all.
