Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, and Bam Margera talked to Vanity Fair about—amongst other things—the flamingly queer aspects of the new Jackass 3-D film that was recently screened at the gay leather bar, The Eagle (LA?):
So listen, I’m not sure how to broach this subject. There’s a lot of half-naked men in Jackass… Is it possible that Jackass is at least a smidge gay?
Knoxville: I’m offended you just said a smidge!
It’s more than a smidge?
Knoxville: We’re over here sitting on rainbows and you say a smidge.
You’re a gay pride parade waiting to happen?
Knoxville: We’re a gay pride parade that’s happening!
And in 3-D! It’s not just homoerotic tension?
Knoxville: No, man, it’s all about release with us.
Steve-O: We always thought it was funny to force a heterosexual MTV generation to deal with all of our thongs and homoerotic humor. In many ways, all our gay humor has been a humanitarian attack against homophobia. We’ve been trying to rid the world of homophobia for years, and I think gay people really dig it too.
This was way too easy. I had all of these questions designed to lure you into admitting your subconscious desire to fuck each other. But apparently you’re not suppressing anything.
Knoxville: Suppressing?! Wait till I tell the guys you said suppressing! We’re not suppressing anything! We’re over here sitting on d*cks!
