I’m watching the Bulls/Pistons game on ESPN, and during a commercial break I see an ad showing a man paying a hot-dog vender. Pretty inoccuous stuff.
Except, upon closer examination, it’s not a hot-dog he’s buying; it’s a rodent on a stick. The man takes one and begins eating. Then he chomps off the head!
I think it’s the most disturbing commercial I’ve ever seen. Has anyone else caught it? Is anyone else as utterly disgusted? I’m sure it’s legal for them to show it, but is it something that should be shown without any kind of warning?
I watched most of last season’s episodes and yea, some of the stuff just squicks you out. But on the other hand, that’s normal fare in the places they send him to. It’s just another in the long list of jobs I don’t want.
BTW there are several different spots promoting the upcoming season. A few of them center around him eating lunch in the employee break room and the other employees beating a hasty retreat
I believe he took a big meaty bite of a squirid’s sinus. That’s a squirrel, in layman’s terms (Family Sciuridae).Squirrel is a very common American game meat, quite easy to obtain. The commercial was a bit misleading, as that squirrel was not grilled, as would be expected from a Hot Dog Vendor, but rather it was a deep fried squirrel.
Only got to watch part of tonight’s Beijing episode, but the part I saw included a visit to an establishment that served nothing but dishes composed of various animal penises :eek:
How about a lovely bowl of snake penis soup :eek: :eek:
Followed by a stir fry dish of deer penis
Followed by a dish with yak penis, which sounded to be the favorite of the evening.
Makes the squirrel on a stick sound pretty tastee
I watched tonight’s episode, too, and I was surprised. It was probably the least revolting episode I’ve ever seen. And yeah, that includes the restaurant that serves nothing but penis.
I’ll never forget the snake gizzard he ate/drank in a glass of alcohol. I damned near threw up when it burst, and he swallowed it down anyway.
