Mousetrap Mangled Manhood

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Wanna-be actor Perry Caravello filed a $10.5 million suit against Adam Corrola, Jimmy Kimmel and Johnny "Jack-Ass" Knoxville, in Los Angeles Superior Court in May 2007, claiming that in September 2006, he was tricked into inserting his penis into a mousetrap after Knoxville offered him $10 million to do it. Caravello claims that after inserting his appendage into the mousetrap, it "unexpectedly" went off, mutilating his manhood. The incident was alegedly recorded on video tape and circulated on the internet.

E! Online story on dismissal of lawsuit is here:

While Mr. Caravello survived the incident, his stupidity appears to have taken him out of the gene pool, therefore, I would like to nominate him for a Darwin Award!

Thanks.

Definitely Keep: For Darwin's Eyes
This is basically an update on the story we received a while back (alas, the write-up was abysmal, though the incident is pretty much exactly what I look for in a potential award). I'll vote to let Darwin see it, and perhaps the readers may decide to give it another chance!.
