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

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? ---

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. ---

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. ---

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. ---

> [@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. 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. ---

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. ---

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.
