photo of the day – the wiener puppet

Approximately three years ago—not to this very damn day but very damn close to it—we were all huddled up around a conference table in our new production offices kicking around ideas for jackass number two. During one of these “creative” sessions, which generally consisted of guarding your nuts and having to suffer through Jeff Tremaine’s ass of fire, we somehow stumbled upon the “Puppet Show” idea after mulling over some spins on the basic “glory hole” concept. No less than three weeks later we were all gathered in a hotel conference room to film this very thing and, as you can see here, everyone was very fresh-faced and eager to get it on (seven months later, of course, it looked as if they had all gone to hell and back, but so it goes in Hollywood).

I never had a chance to try on the mousey underpants myself—the damn thing would have looked like half of it had been run over and flattened by a car—but I have to say they do look rather comfortable, don’t they? I mean, provided you have a penis, of course. Having one myself, sometimes I’m not too keen on having the whole kit-and-kaboodle slung up together, especially in the sweltering and sweaty heat of summer. So the idea of compartmentalizing the frank from the beans in individual cotton confines does make a good bit of sense, especially in those more difficult instances of uncomfortable morning wood. Shit, we should have these in stock in the new jackassworld shop, shouldn’t we? One more thing to work on in the new year, I guess!
