Jackass has left an indelible mark on society. Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O and the rest of the cast’s crude stunts have been imitated to the point of exhaustion by kids and adults alike. One duo in jolly old England, though, took performing these idiotic acts to a frightening new level. According to Metro UK, Elvis Kwiatkowski and Chas Quye (yes these are real names) brutally beat a man and performed a Jackass-style stunt on him in a booze-fueled stupor:
Two men ‘obsessed with Jackass’ forced a father to rub chilli on his penis before they battered him to death and dismembered the body.
Elvis Kwiatkowski and Chas Quye, both 36, kicked, punched and bludgeoned 39-year-old Neill Buchel during a drinking session in March 2013.
They dumped his body in an Essex lake.
In the months prior to the murder, the two men also took home movies of themselves acting like morons. In once such video, Quye lit his pubes on fire while eating a chili pepper and taking shots from a BB gun. These guys obviously have an obsession with spicy food and stupidity.
Needless to say, the local magistrate was not pleased with Kwiatkowski and Quye’s actions, giving them a thorough verbal beat-down during sentencing:
Jailing the men at Blackfriars, Mr Justice Spence said: ‘This was a brutal and callous murder, Neill Buchel was 39 years old when he died.
‘He was a harmless and inoffensive man, he and his wife had come to this country from South Africa in 2001 with their daughter, their second daughter born here, they wanted to make a better life for themselves.
‘This was an attack of great brutality and ferocity against a man who was quite unable to defend himself. Although both of you were under the influence of drugs you showed him no mercy.’
The two men were sentenced to life in prison, which in this case still seems kind of light. Hopefully, there will be some sort of ironic punishment where these idiots are forced to staple their scrotums to stationary objects, or at least have to watch The Ringer.
