Controversial Photo Exhibits

Jackass by Terry Richardson

NYC photographer Terry Richardson chose the guys from Jackass to pose as the 'heroes' of his most recent exhibit at the LaForet Museum in the Harajuku district of Japan, and let's just say he wanted to feature them in all their craziest glory.

The poses range from mildly serious suit shots to totally quirky, then move to full-on bizarre images of Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius and the rest of the crew. The gallery even includes images of them dressed as Batman and Robin... making out.
