Fear Factor - Commercialized cruelty on NBC

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

Re: Fear Factor - Commercialized cruelty on NBC

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.

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......

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

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!

Re: Fear Factor - Commercialized cruelty on NBC

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.

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

cheers shaun

Re: Fear Factor - Commercialized cruelty on NBC

I've been going back and forth with the owner about why what he did was wrong.
Facebook
I think he finally gets it.
