What ever happened to stuntmen?
In this politically craptastic world we live in, guys like Evel Knievel have turned into turds like Kris Angel and David Blane.   
When I was a kid, jumping across the Snake River Canyon in Idaho was cool; now it's cool to fake viewers & fans into believing that you can hold your breath for 2 months underwater without eating while suspended above a giraffe's azz. 

For those of you too young to know or remember the days I'm referring to, this video is for you-

I believe that films got away from the use of stuntmen when bedroom scenes started to be added to the movie plots !  You do still hear about the use of body doubles, though !
