Actually that is a totally different think - that is emulating role models (as much asyou hate to call jackass team rolemodels) but kids have always emulated people who they consider heroes. Kids always wanted to be daredevils I did stupid shit liek that without the media influence we have today..Same goes for prowrestling and gangster rap both are considered glamous by some..
Things like youtube make it much easier to up the ante but its still coming from the sawm place...
Don't confuse this with the influence of negative rolemodels like murders etc - it doesn't work the same way....
