Big Stranger Rodeo For those of us who weren't exposed to this UK telly show, here's a (YouTube, yep) look at the fine art of leaping onto the backs of humans and hanging on for dear life. Don't click, GramMa!

Also, there's urban sprinting, in which one challenges mall security guards' speed, after setting off theft alarms. Immature rubbish! *wipes eyes*

  • What the hell is the matter with you people?
  • It would have been much funnier if one of those fellas would have punched him one in the nose. *stupid prank
  • Next up, Happy Slapping! It's a just a joke, for heaven's sake! Don't you have a sense of humour?
  • Wow - I wasn't aware of the Happy Slapping phenomenon, but I checked out the link mentioned in the Wiki article. Scary stuff. The Balls of Steel 'broncos' are staged, of course.
  • Apologies for not viewing/reading your links, fish tick. I can't view YouTube at work, and I didn't realise these things were staged. The 'Happy Slapping' thing was a bit of a buzz for a while - newspapers getting all riled up. It seems to have died away, at least in the media. I hope it has - my home is in South London, I use the bus, and I walk my (small white fluffy) dog late at night just before going to bed.
