Some good news for JACKASS fans

So if you didn't know, I'm a big fan of Jackass. When they came out in the early 00's, they revolutionized TV in such a way that we had never seen before. Their movies are so unconventional, yet hilariously entertaining. Most people write of, "The Jackasses" as drug attics, crazy people, insane, etc but a lot can be learned from each and everyone one of them.

As you may or may not know, Jackass 2.5 is coming out soon. What I didn't know about this DVD is, it's actually going to be streamed online...BEFORE it hits stores. Paramount, the company that distributes Jackass the Movie announced that Jackass 2.5 will stream online @ www.jackassworld.com for two weeks (starting December 19), with no charge. After two weeks it will then move to the DVD selves for sale.

This is another first in modern American media. To my knowledge, no company has ever done such a thing like this. I believe this is a marketing trick though, to boost the awareness of Jackassworld.com . The site will officially launch in February and will eventually become Jackass' 'HOME'. What I mean by this is, you probably wont see another "Jackass the Movie" in theaters.

Anyway, check out the trailer, looks like a great release....
