...better than something you would see on late-night Showtime. And even though I adore "Jackass," it certainly is not "responsible"-the opening disclaimer is written parodically and the stunts can easily be imitated (set yourself on fire, straddle a skunk, dive into a pile of elephant poop, chase naked midgets around South Central, etc.). Second, the Madonna video-directed by her husband Guy Ritchie-is not only relatively tame, but also profoundly significant.

Gross-out comedy rules at the movie box office and online, where Web animators exploit the Internet's seemingly limitless tolerance for vomit and poop jokes (for instance, at Doodie.com) This weekend NBC and UPN start airing the XFL, a football league created by the World Wrestling Federation's Vince McMahon and designed for ultraviolence (fair catches aren't allowed, but roughing the passer is). The G.O.P. courted the Rude Boy vote by putting...
