My Dad brought home a new high-def TV to review, and it is sweet! (It sucks that we don’t get to keep this stuff.) But my brother Marcus, the little dummy, popped in a high-def version of a DVD called Don’t Try This at Home - The Steve-O Video that he borrowed from a friend. Apparently it’s stunts by Jackass Steve-O that were too crude and gross to make it on the old MTV show cuz that show had “censors”. Unfortunately I was in the room when he started watching it.

That DVD is soooooooo gross. Imagine junior high boy humor (y’know, most of it focusing on bodily functions like farting, peeing and sex, not to mention plain old stupid stunts guaranteed to inflict bodily injury) put to real life by guys in their 20s. Yeah. It’s actually worse than that. If you can believe it.

Now imagine watching that on a high-def TV!! It’s like way more information than I need to know. It’s like actually being there when you really don’t want to be there! … After seeing that DVD, I feel sorry for Steve-O’s girlfriend. I couldn’t even look him in the face. Ewwwwww!

Don’t you agree that some things don’t belong on HDTV? I think I’ll now reserve it for watching comedies, romances and animated movies!

Hey, I found this cool HDTV commercial. It kinda makes my point.

Lots of parents are freaked out about how violent Grand Theft Auto 4 is. Hah! If you want to talk about violent video games, how about Wii?

I got a big gash on my face from playing Wii Tennis with Nia. She went for a lunging backhand and the remote smashed the side of my face. The Wii remote still has blood on it.

Yeah I know we should have had the plastic sleeves on them. But it still would have hurt. She swung that remote hard!

This happens so often that there’s even a website devoted to nothing but Wii injuries! WiiInjury.com. And check out this video of Wii accidents..

I bet no one gets really hurt playing Grand Theft Auto.

Some of my friends think I’m weird because I love going to really scary movies. The best movies make the hairs on my arm stand up during the scariest parts.

Did you know you can see trailers of movies coming out soon on this website: ComingSoon.net. There are some sick summer movies coming!

The Happening looks good. I gotta see that one. That’s just the right amount of scary. And it stars Mark Wahlberg. I can deal with that!

There’s a new Batman movie with Heath Ledger who died. The Dark Knight. That’ll be weird seeing him on screen. I wonder if it will be scary enough for me.

Then there’s this movie called Frontiers, which looks truly scary. It’s probably too much though. Jeez, the trailer is sick. I mean the bad type of sick, like gross. That’s probably too much even for me. Do you think it would be worth spending ten bucks just to be grossed out?

What movies should I go see this summer so I can get scared?
