 ==Recreated== 

 It's honestly better than nothing.-unsigned 

 This article is in worse shape than the orginal one, which was deleted. I got rid of most of the garbage, but much work is still needed if this article is going to stay.   

 == Seriously Sick Shit == 

 I think this entire topic should be erased. Young men don't need to read this shit. It's disturbing. I'm disturbed. I feel sick. 

 :Wikipedia:Content disclaimer. Please read this. Wikipedia is not censored.   

 Yeah, it is a horrible thing to do, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be included. By that logic, a discussion of, say, ethnic cleansing shouldn't be included, because its 'disturbing'.   

 You're an idiot.    

 It shouldn't be on wikipedia because you think 'young men' shouldn't read about it? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You ARE an idiot.    

 == Disputed == 

 The idea of ""curb stomping"" seems to be well-known primarily because of its inclusion in American History X.  It also seems there's a lot of urban lore about the practice.  I've seen a few references here and there to it occuring in real life, but can anyone provide some hard information on the subject?     

 I am an Australian and I have never heard of this practice being called a ""smiley"" here.   Nathan 

 Check http://forums.comicbookresources.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune;=&f;=25 for numerous examples of how ""curbstomping"" is used as a synonyme to ""completely dominating an opponent"".   

 I first encountered curb stomping in the 1983 book ""Gardens of Stone"" by Nicholas Proffitt. The incident was explicitly described, but I don't think it made it into the 1987 movie version. Anyone got an earlier reference?   

 Just because you haven't heard the term as ""smiley"" doesn't mean that's not what it is. I have heard the term used as ""california smiley"" quite a long time ago. It's probably an American  not an Australian  thing.

 This is quite a nasty video so if you have a weak stomach dont watch it!  Delete if deemed to inappropriate.

 I'm not a wiki-editor or anything, just browsing. That eBaumsworld video is actually a staged move, the guy who is ""stomped"" was willing as you can see he raises his arms up, furthermore it's not performed on a curb if you observe closely it's a flourescent light tube for the whole smash effect, it was actually a amateur wrestling clip and is therefore irrelevant.   

 == Added 'Disputed' Tag == 

 Frankly, this article needs sources to prove the practice commonly exists in the real world and is not just a movie creation. —
