Jackass

Authorities detained Johnny Knoxville on Thursday for allegedly bringing an inert grenade into Los Angeles International Airport. After security screeners spotted the grenade in the "Jackass" star's carry-on luggage, a bomb squad determined it lacked a firing pin or explosive. [More]
Dennis Farina...

Jerry Lewis...

and now Johnny Knoxville...

I can't help but wonder what kind of body cavity spelunking and terrorism charges a non-celebrity would be forced to endure...

Still, I have to admit--someone who can fire a bottle rocket out of his...uh...body cavity... makes a contribution to society most of us could never hope to match.

Any non Hollywood type would be in jail for it...

I'm sure he bought that grenade from one of those dealers on the border specializing in the Mexican Narco trade that, "Foreign Policy Expert, Shannon O'Neil" was carping about the other day.

Johnny Knoxville's contributions to society via his art are equal, if not superior, to those made by your average congressperson.

Anonymous has it right - at least what Knoxville does is both voluntary (if you don't like it, don't watch it - but he is not forcing it on you) and not done with stolen money - i.e. taxes.

Frankly, some of what the Jackass crew does is hilarious. Congress-critters? Not so much.

The kind where you only wish someone would come and unlock the cell door to stop it or at least... On second thought, I won't go there.

At the very least, we'd be a felon and could kiss our gun rights goodbye.

So, if a paperweight looks like a grenade it is prohibited. But if a grenade looks like a paperweight is it allowed?
