Remembered Jackass

Last night the news broke that one of the Jackass crew Ryan Dunn and a fellow passenger had died in a car crash. He had tweeted a picture of himself out drinking an hour or so before. What a jackass (not original I know, but its just so hard not to mention it).
So today I picked up the crap free London newspaper Metro. There was a picture of Ryan Dunn on the front cover. Yesterday’s cover had a picture of Bruce Springsteen’s saxophone player Clarence Clemons who had died of a stroke. Both worth a mention, but to be on the front page then it must be a slow news week.
So I read the few paragraphs where I learnt that the car had flew off the road, hit a tree and burst into flames. A police investigator said that “Speed may have been a factor.” No shit.
Then it went on to say that one of the stunts that Ryan Dunn did on Jackass was when he put a toy car in a lubricated condom and placed it up his rectum.
Now when Dunn did that I bet he thought it was hilarious, maybe it was. But would he have done it if he knew that that’s what he would be remembered for and would be mentioned in reports of his death.
To the general public Clarence Clemons will always be remembered as Bruce Springsteen’s saxophonist over anything else that he ever did in his life. But I would take that over having a toy car stuck up your arse.
What about all his other stunts? I don’t know, as I didn’t watch Jackass. I’m just going on how the crap free London newspaper Metro boiled it down to me.
