For nearly a decade, the term "jackass" has been synonymous with the pop-culture phenomenon that depicts a band of reckless individuals who have disregarded the boundaries of physical and mental health for the sake of humor. In the process, they have provided viewers everywhere with hours of gut-wrenching laughter (along with the not uncommon squirm of disgust).

Having turned the comedy world upside down with their brand of idiotic, low-brow, yet entirely entertaining comedic style, the show has become immortalized as part of this generation's identity and sense of humor.

Caution should accompany change

Published Oct 18, 2010

Anyone raised in the South, or anyone raised with common sense, for that matter, has probably been advised that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Luckily for the university student body, our administrators have stepped slightly outside the boundaries of this advice when approaching proposed changes to the Vision in Action program.
