My husband is a huge Opie and Anthony fan. He called me into the room to watch this video earlier. He found it funny, while I found it appalling. I'm the kind of person who firmly believes in treating others in how I would like to be treated. Espicially to those down on their luck. My husband on the other hand countered that the guy got money for this incident so that makes it ok.

So what's your opinion?

:yh_rotfl Just the jumping on the cake and the weird sounds made me laugh so hard. But I love cake and I cried somewhere in there at the loss of the cake.:yh_brokeh . I would not want to take from the needy but I am sure it was a paid joke. Hope so anyway:guitarist

Not funny...stupid. Unnecessary waste of food. Wrong to do even if they bought the guy more food- what if he *wanted* that cake? People go too far.

It's not funny. It's disrespecting someone for a laugh. Paying doesn't make it okay. Would it have been as funny if they had bought the cake and gone around the corner to stomp on it? No, the joke is the man's shocked expression that someone could be so mean.



Schoolyard bullies aren't funny either.

Not to mention that the guy is apparently homeless which is obviously part of the "humor." I guess it's still funny to pick on homeless people. How about tipping over a wheelchaired person? It's okay! You'll buy 'em a new chair! How about steal the blind guy's money cup? It's okay! You'll give him $200 for his trouble! That'll make it right! NO. Not cool.

It's not really PC, Accountable, I think this falls under common decency. Somebody here mentioned bullies and I agree. Ok, the man wasn't actually hurt and I am sure they made it right by him but I don't think it was too decent of them to use this man's disadvantage to make their show.

:yh_clap :yh_clap Well said.

I thought the guy looked uncomfortable and intimidated. It's ok for the pranksters, they were in on the joke but they exploited his vulnerability. I didn't find it funny.

Thank you, Peg

This was very unfunny. Look at the expression on the guys face. Those guys are punks and I promise you if someone humiliated them in public they would be devastated, not play it off the way this guy did. Theres nothing I hate more than seeing people abused for fun. Why does your husband find that funny Sheryl ? Its one thing to be silly immature but to mock a person for your own pleasure indicates a mean streak.

jeez, that's just sick. If I'd been in that crowd, that mic would have been shoved somewhere pretty unsavoury, I can tell you.


Had I been there, you would have had competition, both the mic and the camera would have been shoved where the monkey kept his nuts.

I have no idea why exactly he finds it funny. We didn't discuss the whole video very long last night, because it was heading us to a fight.
