Fear Factor - Commercialized cruelty on NBC

[Strutter769]

Anyone catch the latest Fear Factor? I am BEYOND miffed! "In that box are 500 snakes of of various sizes, (Colubrids to a Retic) covering your partner. You must transfer as many as possible from this box to that one, using only your mouth! The couple with the least poundage of snakes within xx minutes goes home!

If you are like me and wish to shard your *feedback* about this, this may be a good place to start.

Chaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrge!!

NBC -> Fear Factor (http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?showforum=4) :angry::angry:

Not the first time they did something this dumb...

Check youtube, search fear factor snakes

I must warn in advance, the comments are harsh and contain a lot of swear words.

Could NBC stoop any lower.

Makes me happy I don't watch that show...or most shows for that matter...

I tried watching it once years ago, the "eating rancid gross stuff" stunts turned me off quickly.

Have avoided the show since.

No wonder I watch so much BBC stuff......

Me too, I Love BCC!! Michael (hubby) had to go through lots of eating gross stuff for his Chief's initation. *GAG!* Crazy Bastages. And the poor man has a horrible gag reflex, I am surprise he managed, especially after crossing the equator!

I didn't watch the show but even some of my non-snake Facebook friends were upset about it. Pretty messed up stuff.

[Will0W783]

That's terrible! Poor snakes! I have only watched about 10 minutes of Fear Factor- they were making the contestants eat maggots in dirt, and it grossed me out quickly. I'll never try to watch it again now!

[KORBIN5895]

Honestly I hope someone gets bit in the eye! Dead serious.

[Gungirl]

That show has always been a pathetic attempt at entertaining. I never really spent any amount of time watching it. To me a show that thrives on idiots doing sick and stupid things does nothing for me.

I would also like to add that I would like to be on it to win some loot.

its the same with the tv programme over here called " i'm a celebrity get me out of here "

its filmed in australia and they use diamond pythons,blackheaded pythons in the filming of it

i've even seen axanthic bhp's used,they would be worth over a thousand pound each over here,yet they have some long forgotten celebrity chucking them about to find little plastic stars to win their jungle tests

pretty pathetic really :angry:

cheers shaun

I've been going back and forth with the owner about why what he did was wrong.

You have to be a member of facebook, I have a facebook account and the link works fine.

If you do not have a facebook account, then sign up, it's free.

Kyle,

Great posts on FB! Fantastic! Keep up the fight! I just posted this on the FB page for Chicago Herpetological Society, following your lead:

Community - Please help us in this battle to stop inhumane treatment of snakes in shows like Fear Factor and the movie Snakes on a Plane. These horrible attempts at entertainment severely jeopardize the rights and privileges of hobbyists like myself, and only add fuel to the fires that are the animal bans sweeping our nation right now! Please, I ask you to help us wage this war to save our hobby, and the more importantly the health of these animals.

Thank you

it sounds like they're talking with several producers about never doing stunts like this again due to the rather large backlash they're feeling from the community.
