Quote:Some believe that shows such as MTV's Jackass, in which the regulars perform stunts involving self-inflicted pain and humiliation, are the inspiration for the acts.

Quote:"The sections of this law supposedly dealing with 'happy slapping' in fact have a much broader scope," Reporters Without Borders said in a statement. "Posting videos online showing violence against people could now be banned, even if it were the police carrying out the violence."

Here is a clip from a recent Dr.Phil, it has to be a set up.
After giving it 3 minutes air time Dr.Phil say's "I'm sorry but I just watched that footage it is dispicable and I refuse to publicise that". As if he wouldn't have known the content of that before it went to air, how stupid do they think we are? http://youtube.com/watch?v=CNPvdsJS-qE

All part of creating a reaction to the problem they most likely created themselves(Bumfights/Jackass).

I wonder if filming terror attacks is included in this law, they are violent acts.;)
