If somebody sees this guy around punch him in the nuts for me.

He'd probably punch himself in the nuts if there was a camera around.

queue the attention whore pic, please.

He better hope there's no wind that day....

the jump netted him a $4,000 fine and a year's ban from traveling to Canada.

no poutine or tim horton's for you!

Man that guy's dad must be proud....always being interviewed about his fark-up son has to suck

Does this remind anyone of the Looney Tunes cartoon where Bugs and Bruno the Magnificent compete to see who will do the high dive headfirst into a block of cement?

He needed one of those big plastic bubbleboy thingies that the earlier thread guy was trying to promote.

(refrains from posting the Bubble Boy pic again, even though I wanted to)

1) Nice headline.

2) Oh. It's THAT guy.

3) Ray Jones said he's confident his son will do enough research to give him a sporting chance at success.

He slipped through the cracks the first time, but I think Chuck's ready now.

I like that his dad is under the impression his son's circus contract is for six figures.

I guess he counts past the decimal point.

Was it just me, or were those the most horribly written first couple paragraphs of a story you've ever read?

Who is more pathetic, Fame seeking waterfall loser or Ninja Vampire religous whacko?

Let the debate begin.

"I now have a new role. I have taken a 180-degree turn from what I was doing the rest of my life," Kirk Jones said during a brief phone interview cut short because his prepaid cellular minutes ran out.

THAT is sad.

Who still uses pagers anymore?

Ninja Burger: Guaranteed delivery in 30 minutes or less, or we commit Seppuku!

Hope he hits the sidewalk... THEN I'd watch. Hell if he hits the sidewalk he'll probably be getting a lot more attention then if he lives.

I say if he lives, we never talk about this again... but if not we have to photoshop it

i think there is an article on this guy in this month's Maxim, FHM or Stuff. i remember reading it but cant remember which mag it is in.

Nice haiku, Dr. Rhetoric.

incrdbil: I hope the human brick here lands on religion boy wonder

I know no one will care, but "Niagara" is not spelled like "Viagra", substituting an N for a V.

Oh. My. God. Thank god this guy and his dad are no longer in the Metro Detroit area. I actually used to live in Canton, I'm now ashamed to admit. (and yes, I will kick him in the nuts if I see him.)

Just yesterday I saw a show on the Discovery Channel featuring him as "more than human?" Give me a break. I'm glad he can't get anything better than circus work now! :-)

Here's to hoping he's the next pavement pancake...

He was on the Discovery Channel (TLC?) show More Than Human last week and was the subject of their disaster recreation. The guy was stupid lucky and should accept that and move on. Taking another shot at it will most likely not work out in his favor.

Kirk Jones... what a douche.

In other news Mr.Glass finds his nemesis.

Has this guy never watched Warner Brothers Cartoons?



/Super Genius

I hope he remembers to use the memory foam stuff designed by NASA>

He's trying to free your mind.

Kirk Jones is now planning another public stunt, telling his friends and family he's going to jump off an unnamed skyscraper onto a mattress or other pads.

Other pads...would that be like Maxie Pads.

who uses pagers anyways

It's spelt "N-I-A-G-A-R-A", dammit. Get it right.

THat's pretty funny - he got laid off by his own father....

hehe

1. Darwin is not alive any more
2. 99.9% positive he never had a pager at any time in his entire life

Put it on Pay-per-view! I'll watch!

The latest MAXIM magazine has an interview with him, where he says it WAS a suicide attempt.

Then the other day, he's on "More than Human" on the discovery channel - saying 'the will to live' is all the made him survive.

WTF?!

Dang! Beaten to the Niagara spelling post by about 25 minutes.

I'm a resident of Niagara County. I see is spelt incorrectly by tourists and dumbass locals all the time.

This guy is so dead.

Personally, I liked the pager reference. Its a joke, get over it.

Well thank you, Captain Obvious.

The guy drinks Vodka & Cokes all day, tries to commit suicide and fails, then thinks he's got a new career as a Circus Freak and doesnt get how stupid this whole thing is?

In todays society he should be a millionaire...what went wrong?

He tried to video the falls stunt but his pawn-shop purchased camera went dead. Seems his buddy forgot to charge the battery. Told the pawn shop dude...I'm not charging this...I'm payin cash.....Better luck next time Niagara Falls....slowly I turn...step by step...inch by inch

I already seen this.
He will jump, but wont make it across to the other building. (seems nobody makes it on the first jump anyhow so it means nothing)
but its all cool, the pavement will bend to him and all he will get is a bloody nose.

"It's actually a sign he's doing well. People pay money to see the animals. This guy gets to take care of them all day for free," Dolci said.

I hope for this guy's sake that this is some sort of early April Fool article. "Gets to take care of them all day for free" -- what, so they don't even pay him for that? They make it sound like you would ordinarily have to pay the circus for the privilege of cleaning up after elephants.
