NBC yanks donkey semen out of Fear Factor

shrug I don't know - it made me laugh.

http://www.avclub.com/articles/nbc-yanks-donkey-semen-out-of-fear-factor,68517/

The line separating the sort of gross-out stunt typical of NBC’s Fear Factor and an extreme violation of broadcast and human decency has at last been drawn, and that line has been drawn with donkey semen. TMZ first revealed last week that an upcoming episode would force its contestants to drink an unspecified amount of donkey semen—“Let’s just say it’s an ass-load,” host Joe Rogan could have said, if only he took our calls—all in return for $50,000, or enough money to buy a new car with tinted windows, so no one will see you on the street and yell, “Hey, it’s that guy who drank donkey semen!” But after the subsequent uproar and a screening for NBC president Bob Greenblatt (whose screenings in general we imagine as being a lot like George C. Scott in Hardcore), the network today opted to pull the episode and replace it with a repeat in which contestants put maggots in their ears or gobble horse cock, or something normal like that. Meanwhile, the contestants who already drank the donkey semen don’t get to be on television, but at least they’ll always have the memories.

I dont believe for one moment that any of these people are actually eating or drinking half the shit/jizz that FF tells the audience they are.

Reality Tv isnt.

See. They couldn't pay me enough money to drink some ass jizz. And how do they sterilize the shit that they ask the contestants to eat/drink? Seems to me, if heat were put to any of the items, it would kill anything live, like spiders, roaches, bugs, snakes, etc. And how about the blood they make some folk drink? How do they sterilize that or do they? I'm just waiting for someone to file suit for getting deathly ill eating some shit they had no bidness, but I guess the producers have an iron clad "clause."

Exactly! Health consequences aside, the network is more about ratings and aren't trying to get sued. You can sign all the waivers you want but if the producers aren't fully disclosing the risks involved then they are setting themselves up for a lawsuit and that is not what they want. I think we the viewers are being taken for a ride. They tell us its snot when its really just cream corn. biggrin

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

Seriously.

And I know someone who has been on the show. Everything they do is 100% real. Your choice if you want to continue living in a world of disbelief, doubts and conspiracy theories. shrug

They eat all kinds of disgusting shit on Fear Factor (and Survivor, for that matter). If it were donkey urine, would it have been as big a deal?

File suit on what grounds?

It's voluntary which means YOU assume the risk.

I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

Such as someone getting sick?

Again, you know that's a risk going in.

The producers aren't responsible for ensuring the health and safety of all under all conditions.

Participation is optional, so again that's the individual assuming the risk. That is not on the producers.

You guys should watch Jackass movies.

They eat horse feces and semen . . . . Sometimes they throw up from the stunts they do but no one sick or killed.

They probably put clauses in the contracts they have the participants sign before they do the show to see to it that they can't be held liable for anything that may happen to them after eating that bullshit.

And well, if people are dumb enough to agree to it and sign on for it I can't really feel for them. No one put a gun to their head and forced them to do it. If you're willing to do anything for money then really to some extent you deserve whatever comes out of that.

Right! After I receive my money I won't give a fuck about drinking that donkey nut. I'd more against drinking blood, but give me a gallon of semen and I'll make it disappear

It's important to have enough respect for yourself and your body that there's a line you wouldn't cross and you won't let yourself be bought. Ever. For any price.

Money... isn't... everything.
