I've seen that before somewhere, maybe here. What struck me about the whole thing was the fact that no one offered to help him.

The guy video taping is the real A-hole in my opinion.

For not helping? Maybe he asked and they declined? There were lots of people standing around watching.

The guy has bald tires on his truck which he found out the hard way. He is struggling to fix his problem which he actually does albiet in a very unsafe manner, imo. Whether or not the dude with the video camera offered help we don't know, but to stand there and videotape and laugh at the guy is bad karma. Maybe I'm missing something but the guy didn't really appear to be doing anything stupid other than not realizing his tires were shot before he backed in.

Granted he put that kid's life in jeopardy by having him sit on the front of the jetski, but heck it actually worked.

I just think A-hole is the wrong description for the driver of the pickup. Dummy, idiot, moron, maybe, but the camera man is the a-hole, with his snide comments.

Now, maybe there is more to this and the camera man did offer to help and was rebuffed, rudely??
