Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Johnny Knoxville and his merry band of pranksters return to face another round of humiliating dares and stunts, some risky, some repellent, all of them stupid. Bodily emissions are the most regular source of mirth: I thought I had seen nothing more disgusting than the bottom-to-face trick of "The Fart Mask", until, that is, a few of them decided to quaff a mouthful of horse semen.
A kind of pathological exhibitionism is at work. It seems that these guys will do just about anything as long as there's a camera around to watch them. Knoxville, who has a career as an actor, still takes on some of the most dangerous stuff, and you end up almost admiring him for his moronic bravery: it's hard to imagine another Hollywood C-lister getting bitten by an anaconda, tossed by a bull or maimed by a riot gun purely for our entertainment.
