On this week’s Frotcast, we talk to the incomparable Lindy West about Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and in my audio from the Jackass 3D extended preview, I ask Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine if they’ve ever thought about just going balls out for their next stunt and injecting Bam with a syringe full of Hep C while he’s sleeping.  Subnote: it includes some important do’s and don’ts for aspiring journalists.  And of course, Danger Guerrero sent in a new Old Dirty Bastard clip to talk about.  Enjoy.

Boy.  I am an average-looking man.

Jackass is one of those things you either like or you don’t.  I have the brain of a 13 year old, so naturally Jackass 2 was the most fun I’ve had in a theater since I learned that trick with the popcorn container.  Not much is known about the project at this point, but Paramount recently released its list of titles for 2010, and one of them is Jackass 3-D.  A third Jackass wouldn’t be a huge surprise, since the cast has dropped hints about doing more Jackass in various interviews, but… 3-D?  Wouldn’t that require a big, expensive camera rig that’d make a lot of the Jackass stunts impossible?  I guess it depends on the type of stunts.  But until we hear more, I’m just going to assume 3-D isn’t a dimension, but rather the number of D’s you should expect to see.  Then when they release the extended DVD cut, it can be called Jackass 3——D

Then there’ll be Jackass 3====D  ~~~~ (+) (+)   and Jackass 3====D ~~~~ (|) Hey, which one of you fags wants to pull my finger?

I know this is a couple days old now, but hey, it’s a slow news day.  Anyway, according to his blog, Johnny Knoxville still hates his crotch.

"Just got back from Oklahoma where I was shooting Mat Hoffman’s tribute to Evel Knievel. Had a ball, too, even though I almost lost my own balls in the process. Don’t want to give too much away because the tribute airs Feb 23rd on MTV, but let’s just say before letting Travis Pastrana teach me how to do a backflip on a motorcycle I should have had him teach me to ride one first. Heh-heh…bad for me, good for our viewing audience at home. Have to go now. Have to empty the piss bag on my leg that I have to wear for the next two weeks until my torn urethra heals. Ouch, and see you on the 23rd. By the way, lots of great stuff in the Evel Knievel tribute besides my trip to the hospital—lots!"

In related news, I once pleasured myself after cutting jalopeños and it was, well, unpleasant.  But I finished anyway, because I too consider myself something of a daredevil.

Watch clips from Jackass 2.5 

/film has six promo clips from Jackass 2.5, which hits the web tomorrow on iTunes and blockbuster.jackassworld.com.

As expected, the boys do juvenile, gross, and dangerous stunts for our amusement.  They truly are great Americans.  And kids, please, try this at home.  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  And a golf club to the nuts is the sincerest form of entertainment. 

Back in September, I reported that Jackass 2.5 (64 minutes of stunts that aren’t in Jackass 2 or the upcoming Jackass 3) would be out in time for Christmas, but now the word is that it’s not going to be a DVD, rather, they’ll be releasing it for free on the internet.

The film will be online, free of charge courtesy of Blockbuster Video, for two weeks starting December 19th of this year. You can view the film at blockbuster.jackassworld.com. Then the movie moves to DVD and iTunes, as "part of a light-speed reinvention of the customary distribution-window chain. The domestic release strategy also will be replicated internationally in early 2008, but with different distribution partners. [Cinematical]

I can’t imagine Chris Pontius is too happy about this.  As my mother always taught me, chugging horse semen is sometimes acceptable, but you always charge.

Anyone picking Preston Lacy in the death pool?  God he’s fat.
