Same thing happen in Japan a few months ago, a man in central Japan made 1,460 phone calls to Japan's 911....made all but 4 from a cell phone, that's how they caught him, they traced the land-line phone to a pay phone, he made the same statement each time & hung up...the statement was..."Hello Police, This Is An emergency....A beautiful Girl Just Walked In Front Of Me"....this went on for a month before they caught him.....Hell I work in Japan & saw that many in one day, I think he was in the wrong place...I was wondering if he place 911 on speed dial ??? HUMMMMMM !!

He must work in Distribution, no one in exhibition would make that many calls. Maybe he's a booker?

And the next candidate for "Asshole of the Year" is also nominated in the "Most Stupid Human Being Alive" category as well for trying to carjack a minivan from a college Judo team. http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/08/19/judo.carjack.reut/index.html

Another candidate http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/West/11/19/rattlesnake.kiss.ap/index.html.
Well, perhaps he wouldn't be in the running for the "A**hole of the Year". Perhaps the stunt of kissing rattlesnakes and nearly dying when it bites back qualifies as a "Dumbass of the Year" stunt.
I haven't seen the movie "Jackass". Is there something in this movie that the snake kisser was trying to copy?

All of these links come up as a CNN 'sorry this page removed or not here' type statement ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

The man who kissed the rattlesnake wasn't trying to ape Jackass.
