Steve-O from Wildboyz Wants to Make You a Better Parent

I think this is another sign of the Apocalypse! "Steve-O" Glover of MTV's "Jackass" and "Wildboyz" is casting for a new show that will makeover uncool parents. According to The Fayetteville Online:

Rutherford is looking for un-hip or strict parents who need a coolness makeover. The parents must be nominated by their children (ages 16-24). Plans call for Steve-O to transform the parents over a two-week period.
Steve-O is the star of his own show, “Wildboyz,” and was a member of the team that made Johnny Knoxville a star on “Jackass.”

Known for his wild stunts, Steve-O’s goal is to bring children and their parents closer together, Rutherford said.

I just love the line "Steve-O’s goal is to bring children and their parents closer together". If you've ever watched "Wildboyz" or "Jackass", you'd realize you're don't want Steve-O anywhere near your kids. Don't believe me? Read this bio from Mugshots.com:

Stephen Glover AKA Steve-O from the MTV show “Jackass” was arrested in 2002 on obscenity and battery charges for stapling his scrotom to his thigh at a nightclub, and his role in an incident in which a bouncer slammed a teen headfirst to the ground.

Ouccccchhhh!!! And that was one of his milder stunts. Probably just safer to try out for an Oprah makeover.
