Would you drink donkey semen for $50,000?

[Southern Yankee]

With a chaser of urine? Some contestants on Fear Factor will have that <WARNING: possibly NSFW link to NY Daily News article with pictures> choice (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/television/fear-factor-donkey-semen-sipping-stunt-censored-nbc-report-article-1.1012890).

[pseudotriton ruber ruber]

I don't have that kind of money. Will you take a thousand in cash, and 10,000 each year until I'm paid up?

[hogarth]

FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!? With that kind of scratch, I'd buy a solid gold house and a rocket car and retire, baby!!

Oh wait, no I wouldn't. So I'll pass on the donkey spunk.

[kayaker]

What volume of semen/urine are we looking at here? Neither is toxic, and I could have some fun with 50 k. Tax free money?

[Grumman]

Absolutely not. What kind of bullshit show is this? Shouldn't Fear Factor be more about doing things that are scary and less about degrading yourself for cash?

[thelurkinghorror]

I guess one deciding factor for most people is: how fresh is it? Do you watch it being extracted? Is it still warm?

What volume of semen/urine are we looking at here? Neither is toxic, and I could have some fun with 50 k. Tax free money?
Probably not tax free, you'd have to put on your 1040 line 21 under "jizz guzzling." Let's see you audit that, IRS!

[FoieGrasIsEvil]

Absolutely not. What kind of bullshit show is this? Shouldn't Fear Factor be more about doing things that are scary and less about degrading yourself for cash?

Yeah! They should have to suck the donkey off themselves. That shit is scary.

[Lobohan]

If it were in the moment, sure, but not in a cup. That just seems trashy.

[Bearflag70]

It's not just $50k to do it but only the chance of winning $50k against others also willing to do that, right?

[Kobal2]

What volume of semen/urine are we looking at here?

There's a photo in the link. Big frothy mug of splooge.

Not even with a gun to my head.

[Jophiel]

If it were in the moment, sure, but not in a cup. That just seems trashy.
How about in a champagne flute?

[Southern Yankee]

It's not just $50k to do it but only the chance of winning $50k against others also willing to do that, right?

That's a great point. I have not watched the resurrected version of the show but IIRC you could potentially drink it all and still not win the money if there are additional challenges.

[PacifistPorcupine]

I;m going to go with "Hell no." Is this some sort of experiment to find out just how much reality TV contestants are willing to demean themselves for money and notoriety? Maybe during sweeps they can get the to have sex with animals for a cool $100k. .

[johnpost]

that show is the best challenge show on tv.

they had some good stuff in the long past. i wish i'd taped them.

[Gus Gusterson]

Yes. I would drink the amounts shown at the link for $50,000. Not for a chance at $50,000, as on Fear Factor, but if I'm guaranteed $50,000 if I finish both I would do it. I'm assuming that I would not be penalized for involuntarily vomiting it all back up after completing the task.

[steronz]

I'd like to think I'd do the reasonable thing and swallow some jizzpiss for 50 grand, but then I clicked the link and saw the picture. Mother of god, that's a lot of jizzpiss. I honestly don't think I have the constitution for it.

[FoieGrasIsEvil]

Yeah, I was thinking like a shot glass full or something...but that thing is like a pail!

And think of the "milk moustache" that would leave...I'm thinking Woody Harrelson in Kingpin.

[Hal Briston]

Absolutely not. What kind of bullshit show is this? Shouldn't Fear Factor be more about doing things that are scary and less about degrading yourself for cash?It's about doing two "scary" stunt things (every one of which that I've seen I would happy pay money to be allowed to do) and one "eat something fucking gross thing".

And no, I wouldn't.

[Vinyl Turnip]

Let's say hypothetically that I already have--- how long do I have to submit the claim?

[kayaker]

"We were so poor, we'd be happy to have something warm in our belly".

[DMark]

And if you lick it off the stage in Tijuana, you get $51,000.

Not only pretty disgusting, but knowing that everybody you know will know exactly how you earned that money and watch?! I can only imagine the wonderful nicknames you would get - forever. I'll pass.

What is the punch line of that old joke...."but you fuck one goat..."?

[Lobohan]

How about in a champagne flute?It's all about presentation.

[tim-n-va]

I don't have that kind of money. Will you take a thousand in cash, and 10,000 each year until I'm paid up?

A variation of what I thought when I read the title.

[JSexton]

How many donkeys did that take? And no. I'd be up for at least trying to eat some of the nasty shit on that show, but a warm mug of semen? I'm not sure that I'd physically be able to get it down even if you had my family at gunpoint.

[tr0psn4j]

If it's a small amount, sure.

[woodstockbirdybird]

Nope. Self-respect is more important to me than quick cash.

[Skammer]

It's hard to tell from the picture how big those mugs are. I'd drink a reasonable serving if I were guaranteed $50,000; but not for the chance to win $50k.

[Meatros]

I don't have that kind of money. Will you take a thousand in cash, and 10,000 each year until I'm paid up?

Hilarious!

:-)

To answer the OP, if I could physically do it and if I would be guaranteed the 50K, then yes.

[bup]

No better measure of what has happened to the economy in the 20 years since Indecent Proposal (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107211/).

In 1993, it was a question if we would let someone sleep with our wife for $1,000,000!

Maybe the analogy isn't perfect, but if I change it to 'no, but I'd let my wife drink donkey jizz and piss for $50K,' it's pretty close.

[brocks]

There was a movie back around 1970 called "The Magic Christian," about how far people would go for money. I didn't realize it was a documentary.

[voltaire]

Yes. I would drink the amounts shown at the link for $50,000. Not for a chance at $50,000, as on Fear Factor, but if I'm guaranteed $50,000 if I finish both I would do it. I'm assuming that I would not be penalized for involuntarily vomiting it all back up after completing the task.This.

It's about doing two "scary" stunt things (every one of which that I've seen I would happy pay money to be allowed to do) and one "eat something fucking gross thing".

And no, I wouldn't.

And specially this.

I've actually had the same conversation and expressed the same sentiment about Fear Factor before. Heck, I might even attempt to do the "eat something gross" challenge on FF if I were extremely confident that I could win. But it's the prospect of only managing to gulp down half a mug of donkey jizz, only to have the guy on your right drink just a tablespoon more than you, or finish off all of the donkey jizz and piss in 1-minute, only to have the guy on your left finish his off in 59-seconds. In both circumstances, you lose and get nothing, then get to sit there with donkey-jizz breath and absorb the fact that you just did that for nothing. That's the evil aspect of FF and similar shows.

[mr. jp]

I will certainly vomit. I'm actually almost vomiting right now, after imagining it. Is that allowed? Then I'd do it.

[DonLogan]

No way that's real. Or at least, not raw.

[It's Not Rocket Surgery!]

that show is the best challenge show on tv.


You should see theworst shows. They are really degrading, not this highbrow stuff like donkey jizz.

[tr0psn4j]

How could you pass up such an offer? That's the yearly household income for half the country.

[FoieGrasIsEvil]

No way that's real. Or at least, not raw.

Its small-curd donkey spunk. You should see the fermented variety.

[Southern Yankee]

This.

<snip>donkey-jizz breath</snip>

This is going to be my new go-to insult.

[obfusciatrist]

$50k guaranteed? Sure. Doesn't seem any grosser to me than eating ova, which I've done many, many times from many many different species.

And if Thomas Keller put it on his menu with some flowery language, half the people in the Bay Area would pay him for the privilege and nod sagely while being told which wine pairs best.

$50k just for the chance to do something else to maybe get $50k? I'd have to think about it.

The problem with Fear Factor is that most of the physical stuff is only scary if there is risk of serious injury or death. Since they can't really do that on TV, it isn't really scary for anybody unless you manage to trigger a phobia.

I agree with all of this. But, no....

[Quasimodem]

I don't have that kind of money. Will you take a thousand in cash, and 10,000 each year until I'm paid up?


Awwwwww, man! That's some funny shit, right there, prr!!!:D:D:D:D

Quasi

[Typo Negative]

I would be willing to, because I need the money.

.....BUT....I would barf before I got it down.

So no.

[hajario]

If you got used to it, you could make it an act and take it on the road. All you'd need is a catchy name...

[Face Intentionally Left Blank]

Why do they HAVE those shows? I'd pay someone NOT to see that - "Here's $5, go away!"

[Maiira]

$100,000, guaranteed, in cash, up front. Non-taxable.

Then I would do it.

If it's for A CHANCE of winning $50,000, then I'd sooner dump it on Joe Rogan's head.

[TriPolar]

I drank a Coors Light once. It couldn't be worse than that.

[lavenderviolet]

I don't think I am physically capable of it. I think I'd start vomiting after the first taste of it. Thank God I'm not that desperate for cash that I would ever have to even try.

[SenorBeef]

If it was a shotglass worth of each material, yes, easily. The giant mugs would be tougher because I'd worry that I'd make it a third of the way through and vomit and be unable to continue, thereby going through something utterly disgusting with no reward.

Agree with the others that it would have to be a "deal this and you get $50k" deal, not just a chance to keep competing with others and potentially end up with nothing.

I do wonder, for people who wouldn't even consider it, what would be your price. Surely you'd give it a go for a million or ten million dollars, right?

[RikWriter]

The greatest thing about this show is how blatantly obvious Joe Rogan's contempt and sometimes outright hatred for the contestants is.

[kayaker]

The $50K comes (cums) from advertising revenue, right? Who would want their product tied to donkey jizz consumption?

[Son of a Rich]

I wonder if they'd let you stir in a little Nestle's Quik?

[not what you'd expect]

Let's say hypothetically that I already have--- how long do I have to submit the claim?

You made me laugh and laugh with this.

[notfrommensa]

Disclaimer: I would never consider drinking donkey jizz

Biologically speaking: Is there a big difference between Donkey Semen and a chicken egg.

I average more than one chicken egg every day.

[Rachellelogram]

I would, but only if I were guaranteed the money. If all the contestants do it, then they all have to do something worse for the next round.

[kayaker]

Worst case scenario: you do it and really enjoy it. Then you would be stuck trying to find a source for donkey jizz.

[SenorBeef]

Then you would be stuck trying to find a source for donkey jizz.

You've clearly lived a sheltered life if you don't think it's all over the place.

[kayaker]

You've clearly lived a sheltered life if you don't think it's all over the place.

But I'm talkin volume.

[FloatyGimpy]

I do wonder, for people who wouldn't even consider it, what would be your price. Surely you'd give it a go for a million or ten million dollars, right?

There's no price that I would even be physically able to do it. I gag every morning and evening from too much toothpaste on my tongue. I would gag/vomit before it even touched my lips.

[tr0psn4j]

There's no price that I would even be physically able to do it. I gag every morning and evening from too much toothpaste on my tongue. I would gag/vomit before it even touched my lips.

I react the same way to toothpaste but would still go for it.

[Kobal2]

I do wonder, for people who wouldn't even consider it, what would be your price. Surely you'd give it a go for a million or ten million dollars, right?

Nope. Money can't buy back self-respect.

[SenorBeef]

Would you gain more self respect from not doing something disgusting over, say, donating a few hundred thousand dollars to your favorite charity? I mean, there has to be some point where the amount of money, including the good you could do with that money, would override the disgust.

[thelurkinghorror]

I also hope it's not like some bars, where if you order a Fat Tire, they ask if you want it "draft (draught) or bottle?" Because I think this is one case where I definitely would not prefer draft.

[Ike Witt]

I would gag/vomit before it even touched my lips.
I almost yakked just looking at the picture.

And what do you do if one of the other contestants grew up in the mid-west and made a few 'movies' to help pay for college? You just know that there is somebody out there thinking I did that for $500, I'd kill to do for the chance at $50,000.

[BwanaBob]

Those look like pitchers, not glasses. Buying a round for everyone?
NFW.

[notfrommensa]

It makes you think what challenges that Fear Factor does not use.

Collection of Donkey Semen sample?

Using no hands?

[It's Not Rocket Surgery!]

Yeah, what makes me suspicious is the sheer amount they have in the pitcher. I sort of hope no one here knows for sure how much ejaculate comes out of a donkey.

Maybe they found the Peter North of donkeys. :D

[FoieGrasIsEvil]

Imagine the stench of that belch after guzzling that whole pitcher down...

[drewtwo99]

I would definitely be up for this, but only if the stuff comes straight from the source.

[Ike Witt]

I would definitely be up for this, but only if the stuff comes straight from the source.

Interesting point. How would you know that the crew wasn't topping off the mug back stage?

[drewtwo99]

Interesting point. How would you know that the crew wasn't topping off the mug back stage?

Indeed. And what about freshness? Surely it'd be hours old, probably sitting at room temperature, or worse, chilled, before the contest. Everyone knows that semen deteriorates quickly once it has been... collected. Only the freshest for me, please!

[Hyperelastic]

I would need to spend some time with the donkey first.

[Chessic Sense]

I found the winner (http://img.metro.co.uk/i/pix/2011/11/14/article-1321276000482-0ECA5A9400000578-187745_636x882.jpg).

How could you pass up such an offer? That's the yearly household income for half the country.

Yes, well, there's a reason I went to college.

Imagine the stench of that belch after guzzling that whole pitcher down...

...and the bubble!

[Bumbershoot]

I'll take "Donkey Semen" for $50,000, Alex.

[Mdcastle]

Don't call it a bullshit show. They'll get ideas.

[Stoid]

There's lots of things I'd be willing to try to consume for $50,000 - the problem is that I know myself and I know what I'm capable of. I have a very sensitive and delicate gag reflex which is highly responsive to the mere idea of what something is, whether it actually tastes bad or not. And the idea of drinking semen of any kind in large quantity out of a container (vs. a small amount directly from a penis I am fond of, something I've done many times and joyfully so) would have me retching before it ever came close to my face. I could never GET it down, much less KEEP it down.

Same goes for pretty much everything I've ever seen them present for consumption on that show. I'd be barfing just watching other contestants do it. In one memorable case I'd be barfing AND screaming: the cave spiders. Holy shit.

So I'd pass just to spare myself the horror of the attempt, knowing I'd never succeed.

[Zebra]

How good looking is the donkey?

[Kobal2]

Would you gain more self respect from not doing something disgusting over, say, donating a few hundred thousand dollars to your favorite charity? I mean, there has to be some point where the amount of money, including the good you could do with that money, would override the disgust.

To hell with charity, I'm not guzzling donkey chowder to feed Ethiopia. They can drink their own damn donkey chowder, solve their hunger problem without my involvement.

[jjimm]

[shijinn]

... Biologically speaking: Is there a big difference between Donkey Semen and a chicken egg. ... you gotta eat it raw though right? are you allowed to pan fry it?

[notfrommensa]

you gotta eat it raw though right? are you allowed to pan fry it?

I have consume raw eggs before.

My point.

An chicken egg is a product of hen's reproductive system.

Donkey Semen is a product of male reproductive system.

Most people drink fluid that comes of cows mammary glands (or a goat).

As disgusting as it sounds to consume donkey semen (and it is), many people consume things that are similar, every day. but they don't sound disgusting, because it is the norm.

[thelurkinghorror]

Humans are also phylogenetically closer to a donkey than a chicken (or other birds), so it's ickier. The only male reproductive fluids I have heard of being consumed by humans are fish semen, and I suppose pollen.

[jjimm]

As disgusting as it sounds to consume donkey semen (and it is), many people consume things that are similar, every day.The teensy little cells may be similar, but the delivery medium is way different. Ova don't tend to get served up in a soup of fructose, proteolytic enzymes, citric acid, acid phosphatase, phosphorylcholine, prostaglandins, proteins, and mucus.

[shijinn]

it's simpler than that i think. donkey sperm comes from a dick. tits (milk) and ass (eggs) ok, dick nono. so... you are homophobic if you refuse the challenge.

why do you hate gays?

[Captain_C]

Yeah, what makes me suspicious is the sheer amount they have in the pitcher. I sort of hope no one here knows for sure how much ejaculate comes out of a donkey.

Maybe they found the Peter North of donkeys. :D

A donkey will ejaculate about 45 ml of usable semen. Around 75ml if you include the pre-cum.

My girlfriend used to collect semen from farm animals on a reproductive farm. True story.

[jjimm]

it's simpler than that i think. donkey sperm comes from a dick. tits (milk) and ass (eggs) ok, dick nono. so... you are homophobic if you refuse the challenge.

why do you hate gays?Which raises the interesting conundrum of a gay dude who refused the challenge: a homophobic homosexual? I guess there are quite a few of them around in the GOP mind you...

[hajario]

Eggs do not come out of a bird's ass.

[shijinn]

yeah the pet donkey does everything except lay eggs. look, there's only one exit. no need to test the vocabulary of the homophobes. they would simply read what you said as implying there's another hole for shit and one for eggs.

[jjimm]

Eggs do not come out of a bird's ass.But shit comes out of the cloaca. Which makes it an asshole.

[palacheck]

One thing's for sure, if the winner of that contest is a woman I'll be tweeting her a marriage proposal ASAP.

A gal like that is what I call a good egg.

[Kobal2]

My girlfriend used to collect semen from farm animals on a reproductive farm. True story.

People collect the weirdest things. Bottle caps, beermats, now this...

[Krokodil]

Fifty grand? Maybe, but I'm essentially a whore when it comes to money.

What kind if network or production company would make a bunch of cash-strapped people do this specific thing, though? Is there really a distinction between this and rich-kid douchebags who get hobos to fight for fifteen dollars?

When NBC finally goes under, this will be their epitaph.

[Krokodil]

One thing's for sure, if the winner of that contest is a woman I'll be tweeting her a marriage proposal ASAP.

A gal like that is what I call a good egg.

She drank donkey piss and jizz, and now you want to kiss her on the lips? With tongue?

[ctnguy]

Which raises the interesting conundrum of a gay dude who refused the challenge: a homophobic homosexual? I guess there are quite a few of them around in the GOP mind you...

Speaking as a gay dude, I concur with Stoid:

And the idea of drinking semen of any kind in large quantity out of a container (vs. a small amount directly from a penis I am fond of, something I've done many times and joyfully so) would have me retching before it ever came close to my face.

[Bryan Ekers]

that show is the best challenge show on tv.

they had some good stuff in the long past. i wish i'd taped them.

Well, I remember the first season, and what prompted a rule change - of the six contestants, originally, the show would start with a physical challenge, leading to two of the women getting eliminated immediately. One specific challenge involved putting on a lot of padding and running across the field with a ten-second head start, after which an energetic police dog would chase you down.

Predictably enough, when a 75lb dog jumps on a 180lb man, the man can usually keep going, even with the dog hanging from his wrist like a big furry charm bracelet. Not so when a 75lb dog tackles a 120lb woman, who gets flattened immediately. The three men finished the run with little difficulty. The one woman who passed happened to be the fastest crawler.

Soon after that, they changed the rules so the weakest contestant of each gender would get eliminated, instead of just the weakest two. Sexist, to be sure, but since the later rounds were often prone to involve swimwear, definitely a needed marketing decision.

[Enderw24]

Fear factor has someone on staff whose job includes consuming whatever the challenge food is, just so they know it can be done.
So awesome job there.

Looks like NBC chickened out (or came to their senses.) The episode will not air. Same NSFW link as above with updated information: here (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/television/fear-factor-donkey-semen-stunt-pulled-nbc-parent-company-comcast-article-1.1014016).

[Happy Lendervedder]

How pissed would you be if you drank a fucking glass of donkey semen and then NBC doesn't even put it on the air?

On second thought, I'd consider that a bullet dodged.

[FoieGrasIsEvil]

My point.

An chicken egg is a product of hen's reproductive system.

Donkey Semen is a product of male reproductive system.

Most people drink fluid that comes of cows mammary glands (or a goat).

As disgusting as it sounds to consume donkey semen (and it is), many people consume things that are similar, every day. but they don't sound disgusting, because it is the norm.

I think this boils down to a textural argument. I see what you are saying from a "natural" standpoint. Raw egg whites/eggs and semen are likely very similar in a textural context.

But knowing is half the battle. Hell, its ALL the battle....to keep it down.

[phantom lamb]

I'd do it for a million. Maybe a bit less, but 50K won't cut it.

And now that I think about it, the fact that it's animal semen and not a person's - actually makes it a bit less disgusting for me. Perhaps it's because we tend to consume animal products like eggs and cheese so we're used to the idea.

It's still gross, of course, so yeah - a million.
