	Las Vegas SUN: Police: Gang copied 'Bumfights' idea
		Metro Police believe videotapes of crimes committed by a youth gang they say terrorized northwest Las Vegas this summer were to be made into a movie similar to the "Bumfights" video that made millions of dollars.
		Some of the participants later claimed they were coerced into the violence, and the video became the subject of criminal proceedings and a civil lawsuit.
		While police are declining to release the videos they confiscated, they say the footage has sparked investigations into as many as 10 other potential cases against the youths.

	Bumfights Videos May Inspire Attacks on Homeless
		Bumfights is a series of popular DVDs in which homeless people perform degrading stunts for which they are paid a few dollars and a lot of alcohol.
		But police investigations have directly linked Bumfights to some of the attacks against the homeless, which have been steadily increasing ever since the series came out.
		The judge says Bumfights never came up in this case, and he was left searching for other reasons why four kids would beat a homeless man to death.

	Bumfights
		Bumfights: Cause for Concern, takes the line between entertainment and the truly disturbing and muddies the two so completely that even the most jaded viewer of violence and depravity is forced to question it's morality.
		Bumfights is so totally outrageous that it is difficult to watch without seriously questioning the well-being of its participants, and any appraisal of its artistic merit should take this into account.
		And yet if Bumfights is intended as a social statement, and not just as 'hilariously shocking' entertainment (in their words), then this statement so riddled with inherent contradictions and legal-tightrope walking that any coherent message is lost amongst it all.

		Bumfights: A Cause for Concern controversial is such a gross understatement the notion warrants a good beating of its own.
		Soon after the movie’s release, the Bumfights Krew, as they came to be known, were accused of lubing up the homeless guys with booze and paying them to fight, an accusation McPherson vehemently denies.
		Once we left Bumfights, they had this friend of theirs pose as Ty Beeson or whatever their aliases were at the time, and he sort of took over doing their PR and all their interviews, but none of those guys ever had anything to do with the production.

		When you view some of the sample footage of the Bumfights videos though, most of what you are subjected to is nothing more than the torture, harassment, ridicule and exploitation of the homeless, many of whom will perform grotesque acts on the camera, and be paid well below standard 'talent' payment in the television industry.

	INDECLINE IN THE PRESS
		Fans of CKY or Jackass might already be aware of Bumfights, but for the uninitiated, this is the latest pretender to the controversial twisted-pranks market.
		Whilst similar in style and content to the big two, the major difference with Bumfights is that the producers make no attempt to seek fame by performing the stunts themselves, but instead entice street-bums to do the dirty work for them.
		Bumfights takes the principle of Jackass to the extreme, sticks two-fingers up at the establishment and exploits the homeless unfortunates purely for the purpose of it's own gain.
