WASHINGTON – Senator Joe Lieberman condemned the MTV network today for airing a dangerous stunt that led to a horrific copycat incident in Connecticut on Friday, in which a 13-year-old was left in critical condition with severe burns.
Lieberman said today that he was outraged by the incident and that, at the urging of the Lind family, would be contacting MTV to demand changes in the "Jackass" program to reduce the risk of similarly self-destructive copycat incidents in the future.
Lieberman said he would urge the network to either cancel "Jackass," tone it down, or at a minimum air it at an hour when most children are not watching television and with stronger warnings about how the stunts are done and the potential consequences.
