[edit] Jason's Birthplace

It states that Jason was born in California, which is not true. It says so in his Biography. He was born in Pisa, Italy on May 16th 1973.

Yes I have noticed that. Why has it been changed to California? The article I have has it marked as Pisa, Italy. Mosdefau2 13:39, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stunts

I just recently watched all the episodes of Jackass as well as the movie and I can't find any footage of Wee Man carrying Preston Lacy. Can anyone verify this footage?

I've seen just about everything, too, but I do not recall Jason lifting Preston. Jason did give Shaquille O'Neal a somewhat ackward piggy-back ride with ease, though. This was during some footage from a Shaq music video or something, on MTV. It may have also been included in some Jackass episodes. I just wasted two minutes of my life discussing Wee-Man's strength.

Im pretty sure he never carried Preston around. Why is it still noted? The article in general is pretty poor.

[edit] "Vertically Challenged"

Come on, this is ridiculous...

Agreed, I changed it to "a midget". In contrast, imagine someone who is tall being called "vertically gifted" or the like. Gimme me a break. 84.161.75.153 17:00, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
How about "Horizontally Empowered"?

[edit] I'm pretty sure it's not true

But there are a lot of sites that say he died last month in a bowling alley or something. He was on that thing they showed at the VMAs, but he could have died after it was taped. --Macarion 17:24, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I think the urban legend that he had died should be mentioned. Ive heard a few usually involving a jackass stunt such as he died after consuming a kilo of salt.
The particularly memorable version that I heard was that he died from kicking himself in the head too many times. Oviously not true, though. Churba 19:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted material

Under the guidelines of WP:BLP I have deleted the following (poorly spelled) statement that was not cited and appears to also be in violation of WP:NPOV. If someone can provide a link to a news article on this, then by all means put it back: ... (Armed and Famous) has become somewhat of a controversy in the community of Muncie as some of its residence are in fear that the celebrities and the producer of the show, Tom Forman, are out to exploit them and embarrass them for the sake of ratings by filming them against their will. The Mayor of the city, Dan Canan, agreed to the shows presence claiming national publicity will increase the liklihood of future investors getting to know the city through its police department. 23skidoo 13:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TNA Bound For Glory

I don't remember him being involved. There was a 'midget wrestler' named Short Sleeve Sampson but he is a different person altogether.

[edit] Mind Of Mencia?

Has Wee Man made appearences on Comedy Central's Mind Of Mencia?
