As broadband Internet connections in the developed world reach critical mass and the boom of video on the net reaches fever pitch, the crazies jump into the fray. Extreme video is finding a home, or many homes, on the Web.

There are hundreds of sites now devoted to extreme video in the “Jackass” tradition. Inspired by the TV phenomenon, Internet users are uploading all matter of crashes, stunts, and gross out videos.

A quick trip to YouTube or Google Video will yield a bevy of extreme videos, and there are a number of sites devoted to this genre.

Office Pirates, AFL, and Glum Team are good examples of sites devoted solely to extreme video.

From a guy getting sausages extracted from his sphincter to horrendous skateboard accidents, to gruesome airplane crashes, it is all available on the Net.

Here are several examples from the Russian based site, AFL Productions.
