NBC pulls "Donkey Semen" episode of Fear Factor

http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/01/30/fear-factor-donkey-semen-2/

Chugging donkey semen for $50k which isn't even going to be $50k after taxes....

Oh the awkward family conversations afterwards. Then on the other side... props to fear factor for being completely ridiculous with the challenges this time. Its kind of pathetic and absurd what crazy shit these people are willing to do for this money.

Thats what always baffled me about fear factor. the amount you win isn't even that much compared to other reality trash on TV.

NBC are a bunch of pussies!

I'd do a shot of donkey semen for that money.

It's not exactly that bad is it? It'll be a laugh amongst friends and money in your pocket - win/win.

Hey, umm... Fear Factor? Just... just stop. Stop that thing that you're doing. That thing that you're doing? Stop doing that.*

*apologies to the McElroys

EEEeeeewwwww. Barfapolooza.

Fear Factor: Jackass Edition

Why would anyone want to watch that?

@jorbear: Thats the first thing I thought of when I read this. I still remember seeing jackass 2 for the first time in theaters. There was a collective groan from the entire audience when that scene hit.

They really should have just kept this show cancelled. I don't understand why they decided to bring it back.

The host's 'roid rage scared them. (I don't know his name, nor do I want to look it up.)

@Lagaroth: Joe Rogan is the host.

If you've taken one pop shot to the mouth, you've taken 'em all.

Umm, what's wrong with donkey semen?

Ah, I knew someone else would see the correlation.

I'm not sure which is worse: the disgust in the actual act, or the distaste in suggesting it.

Joe Rogan? In addition to announcing UFC fights, he's also a stand-up comedian. In one of his routines post-Fear Factor, he admits he was as surprised as anyone that the show lasted as long as it did. He thought it was going to be cancelled immediately.

It's too healthy?

50k for a shot of donkey spunk? Sure. That's easy money. My dignity has a price.

Imbibing the semen of a donkey is basically one step removed from bestiality.

Were they gonna warm it up first, or would they just have to chug it cold? I imagine cold wouldn't be that bad.

NBC just missed a serious opportunity. You know how many people would have tuned in if they said contestants had to drink donkey semen?

I find it worrying that a decent segment of the Giant Bomb community appears to be a-okay with chugging down donkey sperm for 50 grand. Or should I be impressed?

It would be the loneliest 50K you'll ever spend. "Oh hey you're that guy who drank donkey semen....yeah I can't hang out today...."

I'd rather chug donkey semen that eat a spider or some of the other shit I've seen them eat on that show.

@EVO: I'd much rather eat a spider.

Who would ever say that?

But would you want to prove yourself to be a better semen chugger than the other constestants on national television or prove yourself to be a better insect eater?

I had no idea fear factor was still a thing.

How far would you go for 50k?

Given the option of chugging donkey semen or cramming a live spider down my throat, fuck yeah I'd go with semen. Chicks do it all some of the time, so it can't be that bad.

I could not live with myself for that lowball offer.

Wait what? The other challenge on the episode was.

Surviving an electric fence?

I was thinking about the embarrassment and shame of doing the act on national television.

I guess they wouldn't have been a good friend then.

It was cut due to budgetary concerns...they'd have to pay the contestants extra to swallow rather than spit.

Didn't someone eat a kangeroo's anus in one of these programmes once? By your logic that's basically one step removed from a rimjob lol.

Well I heard about it and was going to check in to see if it was true, but I guess I won't watch Fear Factor like every other week because it doesn't interest me in the slightest. Also they had contestants eat animal dicks and balls before, so I kinda don't see the big deal about it. Eating the cock from a bull is just as bad as far as I'm concerned. Especially when they were ripping it apart and the urethra was still intact and rubbery.

Because Joe Rogan doesn't have a career in anything.

Stand-up comedian, and co-announcer of UFC? He's not hurting for money. Not to mention, he's a genuinely intriguing guy, if you listen to his podcast.
