Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.One's enjoyment of the Jackass franchise probably depends on one's ability to laugh at seeing a 35-year-old man get punched in the groin.
The groin punch being the recurring motif in Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Wee Man et al's world of brotherly pain. Their stunts may lack nuance – one here sees the group's tubby member have an apple retrieved from his backside by a sow – but their juvenile genius still succeeds at constructing silly scenarios that make one's inner 13-year-old male guffaw pathetically. It's dumb, painful fun – and it's hard to contain one's admiration for a film so gross that even its cameramen frequently vomit in shot.
