Re: Tonight's Fear Factor ...

The survivors had to use their mouths to suck up live maggots and spit them into a giant milkshake glass half-full of live flies. Then they had to shake the maggots and flies together and drink the entire concoction down.

Oh. My. GOD.

You know, I can look at nearly every frighteningly awful picture Ogrish puts up. I occasionally check out thefetus.net because at the end of every case study are photos of deformities in fetuses and newborns. Every year at Dragoncon, I simply must go to the two panels of autopsy slides shown by the coroner from Georgia. I'm intrigued by this kind of stuff, and it's toughened up my stomach like you wouldn't believe.

I've got two exceptions, though -- maggots and tapeworms.

Just reading that summary makes me nauseous. *gags*

EW. Ew. Ew ew ew ew.

What is *wrong* with these people?! No amount of money could possibly convince me to do that. Seriously. I'd much rather go broke and starve on the streets. *shudder*

Do these people not realise that there are much more dignified ways of making money? Prostitution and drug dealing leap to mind.

Yeah, you've now got a fistful of cash but nobody in their right minds ever going to want to kiss you, or even be in the same room with you again, that's for sure.

Never. Not a million, jillion, squillion years. I wouldn't do that if I were starving!

There is no 'fear' in most of their stunts. It's just see who can do the grossest shit the fastest.

No one's ever been injured on Fear Factor. That being a known quantity, how can ANYONE lose at this show? If it's not going to kill you - all that remains is purely psychological. And it's a lot of freakin' money.

Did I know you go to Dragon*Con? I can't remember. Have I pestered you to play Dark*Confrontation yet? 'Cause you should.
