One day I sincerely hope that the world at large comes to the realization that Wildboyz really was one of the greatest shows on Earth. That’s right, Barnum & Bailey, Ringling Bros., Cecil B. Demille—they can all suck it. A lot of love, heart, and creativity went into making Wildboyz all that it could be on television, and this wasn’t always an easy case. Luckily, one of the primary functions of the show was to celebrate customs and culture all the world over, and to not do so in customary fashion would be rude to all indigenious parties involved. But beyond partying with remote naive tribes and spewing jungle juice all over the airwaves, there was a certain educational element to Wildboyz that just couldn’t be beat. Thanks to the gracious acts of Chris Pontius and Steve-O, kids may not know whether to conserve the forest or have a conversation with it, but what they do know is that no matter how small or harmless an animal may appear it will always attempt to kill you … or make love to you. Bam Margera may have already capitalized on the viva la tagline, but I honestly can’t think of better time to say: ¡Viva la Wildboyz!
