As hot tipper Paul says, “Makes the Jackass guys look like preening debutantes.”
Some of those are old tricks—florescent bulbs are dramatic but relatively mild, as are the brittle blocks—asbestos?—you break over people’s bodies. (Though I worry a little about the stuntmen’s long-term respiratory health.) And the bed o’ nails is an old one. I also find it odd to see so little blood until the after-shots, which sets my Barnum radar a-buzzin’. But still—impressive showmanship! I’ve never seen the ride-a-motorcycle-over-the-head trick before. And that fall through the electrified lightbulbs is spectacular.
So…if it’s in Pakistan…why are they waving the Indian flag near the end? Get out your World Almanac next time, Brendan.
I’m serious. It’s not Pakistan. You can blame Pakistan for a lot of things, but not for this.
Still not Pakistan.
Still.
Worst of all, Slog commenters corrected the error almost SIX DAYS before this was reposted here. That’s pretty bad.
