O wow, what a wild read. I remember when the third Jackass movie came around, I was in my teens then and I thought everyone was kinda cool on their own weird way like edgy teens tend to think when they see dumb dudes doing dumb shit. But Bam always rubbed me the wrong way, for some reason I couldn't really tell back then. While everyone had this silly dumbass attitude around them, Bam had this malice hiding underneath a coat of rebellious rich goffick boi. He always seemed to be true malicious, instead of just retarded like the rest. You guys know where I'm coming from?
I'm not old enough to have witnessed the birth of Jackass or any of Bam's shows and stuff, but the little I saw from Bam... Yeah, he's not a good character at all. Too egotistical and self absorbed. So I'm not surprised he turned out the way he is now.
