A little over a year ago emails to Steve O started returning with a strange automated response. Because of my own addictions, I can’t recall exactly what the message said but it was something akin to EMAIL IS THE DEVIL and I HAVE LOST MY MIND, DON’T CALL BACK. It was a mild surprise at best coming from Stephen Glover. Watching the MTV special Steve-O: Demise and Rise fills in the bizarro back story of what went down with Jackass’ most fearless clowner. His paint huffing and wild eyed ranting coupled with endless free falls make the old Scared Straight! documentary seem down right quaint.
[Ed note: As recipients on Steve O's Rad Mailing List during the peak of his addiction, we tasted this ranting first hand; check it out here and here and here.]
One can see how the peculiarity of his fame and need for adrenalin OD’s led Steve O to bottom out and perhaps the most surprising thing is that all the Jackass guys aren’t in rehab. The lesson learned after watching? Don’t be Steve O, with or without drugs. But I say buy him a non-alcoholic beer next time you bump into him in the bathroom line. He’s hurting for you.

Steve-O is really really smart. You can tell he went to clown college just from reading those ” rad” e-mails.

hey someone posts street carnage at leeds university besides myself
part of me wants his friends to ignore him and stop being such a baby, but then again that would probably drive him to become a tramp.
