With a chaser of urine? Some contestants on Fear Factor will have that \ [choice](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/television/fear-factor-donkey-semen-sipping-stunt-censored-nbc-report-article-1.1012890). ---

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? ---

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. ---

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? ---

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? ---

I guess one deciding factor for most people is: how fresh is it? Do you watch it being extracted? Is it still _warm_? > [@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? Probably not tax free, you’d have to put on your 1040 line 21 under “jizz guzzling.” Let’s see you audit that, IRS! ---

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

> [@Bearflag70](#): > > 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. ---

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. . ---

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. ---

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. ---

I honestly don’t think I have the constitution for it. 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_. ---

> [@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? 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. ---
