CDouch, CKY2K is the best if you're lookig for Jackass style stunts, it has the most/best I think compared to the other two. CKY3 is more professionaly done though.

They're all good really.

Ok so today my 2 CKY cd's came:

Vol 1 and Vol 2 (2 disc cd only available through Amazon.com). Normaly these would cost you around £40 for the 2 as you would have to import CKY2 from amazon.com which will total you around £30, then about £12 for CKY1 which can be brought in the UK. But I knew someone, and I got them for free, well kind of for free, I traded them for a Tom Green video.

The music is..meh. It's good but not my thing really. Some tracks are great like 96 Quite bitter beings and I also quite like there cover of Eye of the tiger and santa's coming to town.

CKY1 is like their proper album with all the majour songs. CKY2 is a collection of tracks from Jackass and CKY videos, B-sides and demos. CKY2 is a double CD, the second CD contains 30 something prank phone calls, which for me are the highlight of the album.

I also got my CKY3 video yesturday, I wanted number 2 most of all but they had number 3 on eBay for £10.50 (usualy eBay just has copies, VCD's etc but for once they had an original copy in brilliant condition). The videos great, but could be a bit longer. Hopefully getting the other 2 in the next few weeks.

There is not any more bonus footage on the other CKY VHS's, although number 3 does have a song by HIM on, but it's during the video and not at the end, so I think its different.

Yep, Bran's freestyle on CKY2K is brilliant, am I thinking about the right one?

Yeah that sounds like the same thing, I thought it was a DVD exclusive but I guess not. It's the one where Bran is phoning up for his "lost wallet". Class.

What exclusives have you got on CKY2 and 3? I have a song by HIM on CKY3 and CKY music and other skits on CKY2K.

You heard Bran's Freestyle? I love it.

Taken from ebay about Bumfights:

THIS THE HOTTEST DVD IN THE WORLD. IF YOU HAVE A SICK AND TWISTED MIND AND LOVE TO LAUGH THIS IS FOR YOU. HOWARD STERN HAS TALKED ABOUT THIS DVD AS BEING GREAT. "I HAVE NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD BEFORE" THIS DVD IS 57 MINUTES LONG AND NOTHING LESS THEN HILARIOUS EVERY SECOND. EVER SEE A BUM GET HIS MOUTH DUCT TAPED WHILE HE WAS SLEEPING? WELL NOW YOU CAN! THIS DVD FEATURES THE BUM HUNTER! THE INSANITY DOES NOT STOP IN THIS VIDEO. GET THIS BEFORE IT GETS BANNED! THIS IS THE BEST DVD EVER! THIS IS A PERFECT GIFT OR FOR PERSONAL HUMOR ALL THE DVD'S ARE BRAND NEW AND NEVER USED. THESE ARE NOT CHEAP COPIES, BUT 100% AUTHENTIC DVD'S. CLEARANCE! WE MUST SELL THEM BEFORE THEY ARE SEIZED BY THE CLARK COUNTY DA RUFUS - The Stunt Bum BLING BLING - A Crack Addict THE BUM HUNTER - Like the Croc Hunter BONUS - Supermodel Angela Taylor This is the DVD that's getting harder to find. Bumfights: Cause for Concern, Volume 1. This is a shocking DVD, not the VCD. It is not rated/in color/ 56 minutes long. This is the Bumfights you've heard about on the Fox News Channel and the Howard Stern Show. The disc is in perfect condition. This case looks to be in perfect condition. However, there is a small crack on the inside of the case that was incurred when the company shipped it to me. Everything else is perfect. READ ALL ABOUT IT IN DETAIL..... It's a brutal video depiction of street life, portrayed through rapid-cut, hand-held camera images. The controversial video featuring grisly footage of homeless men fighting on the streets of Las Vegas and performing other stunts has angered some advocates for the homeless and alerted authorities to potential crimes by the filmmakers and their subjects. "Society has a fascination with homeless people, people living on the streets, almost a perverse fascination," the director said. "People don't get a chance to see much of that. We thought it would be exciting to get a glimpse of that kind of life." The action includes one scene in which a man sustains a broken ankle in a fight. In another, a purported crack addict smokes the drug and defecates on a sidewalk. There is a homeless man extracting his own tooth with a pair of pliers, and another man tattooing the title of the film on his forehead. Another homeless man, referred to as Rufus the Stunt Bum, performs a series of feats for the camera, including repeatedly ramming his head into a wall and a fast food drive-through menu, riding a shopping cart and a skateboard down a steep incline and spray painting the bedding of other homeless men. In several scenes producers appear to instigate the action. A segment titled "The Bumhunter" parodies television's "The Crocodile Hunter," with a man in safari clothing binding, gagging, measuring and marking various homeless men on the streets of Las Vegas before "releasing them into their natural habitat." The 23-year-old filmmakers, who got their idea after witnessing violent altercations among men living on the street, said all of the homeless men appearing in the video did so by their own choice and agreed to the use of their images by signing consent forms. Some of them were compensated for their acts. "We have a few bums that we've been working with for a while, and they are willing to partake in different nefarious activities for the camera," Laticia said. "And when they do, we either provide them with cash or food or clothing. We don't force anyone." But Craig Walton, a professor of ethics and policy studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, said even if the homeless aren't forced to perform, it's inaccurate to describe people without adequate shelter, food or clothing as having choices. "It's sickening to try and cloak it in the garments of free choice," he said. "What are their choices? "Is that what we're saying, we've come up with a class of people who can either enter into violence for money or drop dead? Is that it? Even the gladiators had better status in the Roman Empire. They ate regularly and were kept in good condition." Advocates for the homeless say the film shows the most vulnerable members of society being exploited for the purpose of entertainment. "Let's just say the First Amendment protects all kind of things, even something as sordid as this," said Allen Lichtenstein, general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada. "It's a fairly sad state of affairs when someone is exploiting people who are broke and desperate for money to engage in fights for other people's amusements." Linda Lera-Randle El, an outreach worker for the homeless who is making a documentary on their lifestyle, said the "Bumfights" film has little artistic merit or social value. "For them (the filmmakers) to make entertainment of an issue we spend our blood, sweat and tears trying to resolve is insulting," she said. "This is a serious issue. There's nothing entertaining about watching homeless people fight." Las Vegas police Sgt. Eric Fricker, a member of the department's HELP Team, said some of the images on the video appear to depict illegal behavior. The HELP Team specializes in working with the city's homeless population. Fricker said scenes from the "Bumhunter" segment, for example, are troubling. "They are abusing the homeless folk, and that's pathetic," Fricker said. "If they (the filmmakers) are binding the hands of the homeless, preventing them from moving or attacking them in any way, that could be kidnapping, assault and battery." Fricker also noted that police have received complaints about Rufus the Stunt Bum. "This has become a way of life for him," Fricker said. "He sounds like a real clown, knocking a newspaper rack into the street with his head. Rufus needs help." Laticia said the fights usually end "on their own." But the filmmakers would step in if a fight became life-threatening, he said. Some area homeless people say fighting for money is rare, but they acknowledge that violence is part of life on the streets. "I think it's stupid," said Carl Steiner, a 25-year-old man who has been living on Las Vegas streets for six months. "Someone who does that is just engaging in the stereotype of the homeless." Clark County District Attorney Stewart Bell said his office would consider prosecuting the filmmakers or anyone who participated in the making of the video only if someone filed a complaint with police. "The filming of a fight between two people and distributing that film is not against the law," he said. "If there is a crime report, we would prosecute as we would in any other case. The film itself might be akin to a surveillance tape and could be used as evidence if a crime is reported." The trend toward real-life footage on television and in films is just an extension of the public's attraction to conflict and violence, said Richard Walter, a professor at the School of Theater, Film and Television at the University of California, Los Angeles. Walter characterized "Bumfights" as a "cousin of police chases caught on tape and `America's Funniest Home Videos.' " "By observing violence in a situation that doesn't involve us directly, by experiencing those emotions vicariously, we're better prepared to deal with it in our lives," Walter said. "At worst (`Bumfights') is bad art. When you see ugly expression that you hate, like Jerry Springer, you should rejoice. It's testimony we live in a free society." But the popularity of such forms of expression might reveal more disturbing aspects of society and its perceptions of the homeless, Lichtenstein said. "Here you have a population of homeless who are pretty desperate, living on the street in a hand-to-mouth existence, and some very warped individuals find that entertaining," he said. "It indicates how we all need to deal with the homeless as humans, not as trash or people that can be used for our amusement." Ruth Bruland, executive director of MASH Village, the area's main provider of services to the homeless, said the video represents the antithesis of her organization's work. "We try to restore their dignity and re-create the link between cause and effect in their lives," she said. "We try to give them control of their own destinies again. This film totally destroys that. It creates pain, deterioration and exploitation that's so extreme." Laticia brushes off such criticism, calling people who are offended by his work pretentious. "I'm sure they have good intentions, but it comes down to actions over rhetoric," he said, adding that a small percentage of proceeds from the video will be donated to an advocacy group for the homeless. "To people who are going to take offense, I'd say, 'What have they done for the homeless?' " Laticia and Beeson, inspired by their success, have begun work on a sequel. They plan to use the money earned from the two videos to fund a career in more conventional filmmaking. "This project is a means to an end," Leticia said. "We want to be feature filmmakers. We're going to cash in and then cash out and go make some movies."

On CKY 3 there is a very funny sketch called "S**t Dollar" and is one of my favourite skits ever.

Andy, can you tell me what the bonus material is on the CKY Land Speed DVD, its just on the VHS there are 25 minutes of bonus footage which has that prank phone call on so I was thinking that the bonus stuff on the DVD is the same on the VHS.
