it's not those in the pictures that make the gene pool tainted, is those who believe the pictures are real that taint the gene pool.

Speak for yourself many of those pictures were straight from news articles lol. For example that guy stuck on the a/c external unit was some Korean or Chinese guy escaping after getting caught sleeping with someones wife IIRC. He feared for his life and managed to jump on the a/c but got stuck there. The fire brigade had to go to rescue him.
There was only 3-4 pictures that were possibly fake. People do stupid stuff all the time and some of the stuff that looked hazardous and stupid was actually just physics. For example if you stick an A-ladder against a wall so that only one end is supported against the platform and the other rests on the wall, its totally similar to sticking a regular ladder against the wall and climbing on it.
Most of those stunts with scaffolding I've seen done in real life, simply because people are lazy. They put their life in the hands of someone else simply because they know they can get the job done like that in 5 minutes instead of building a proper scaffolding for 4-8 hours and paying to transport and rent it.
