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…”?
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.
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.
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.
$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.
