This is a show (video) about a bunch of bums that fight and do crazy stuff for money. I saw a clip on our local news the other night and thought it was a joke, until I saw the story and the website.

It is pretty funny, sad, but funny. The website says "It's like Jackass, only with bums" LOL

The local police are investigating them BTW

Link to BumFights

What do you think about this?? Taking advantage??

That could only happen in Vegas! ;) This kind of thing just further convinces me that "the Running Man" will be a reality someday.

I just ordered my copy on DVD today, should be here in about 3 days. www.bumfights.com

I couldn't find any copies on Kazza, and they crack me up so I gave in and ordered it.

Better them, than that girl with $20,000 credit card debts

I have seen it; and have a copy. (Key word: copy) I would never condone or support such an activity.

The film is rather misleading in it's title. Basically it revolves around 2 drunks; and people who take extreme advantage of them. Yes, there are other "bums" in the film; but once again it is usually "non-bums" (lack of descriptive word!) who do all the tormenting. (And yes, almost all of the futage is filmed in Vegas)

I'm trying to remember the video exactly; but there really aren't any bum fights. There are fight scenes, where a huge group of kids form some type of fighting ring of bodies and 2 people go at it. I didn't really see the point of any of these scenes..

You know how when you see a video of some dude getting kicked really hard in the nuts? You can't help but laugh.. but deep down, in your gut you are thinking "oh man, that really sucks.." Well, that's kind of what the video is like. I couldn't help but laugh and be entertained, but at the same time deep down I felt really bad about the way these people were being treated.

cry me a river... if they didn't want to be in the thing they would have ran away- or known better than to be in that situation in the first place. The people are a disgrace to themselves and you should feel no pity. Have you seen bumhunter? Those bums should know better than to sleep outside and await the bum crock hunter!
