Post by: Moonsword on January 07, 2005, 01:22:36 pm: Agreed. You need to be careful how you define frivolous, but this is bull****.

Post by: Liberator on January 07, 2005, 02:11:50 pm: I don't like fear factor, cause it is very grotesque sometimes, so I don't watch it. with 76 channels and the internet I can always find something else to occupy my time with. this is stupid.
Title: The dumbest thing in america....
Post by: Taristin on January 07, 2005, 03:06:25 pm: Basically.

Ratings speak louder than lawsuits. If you want a show to stop broadcasting such trash, you should not watch it, and encourage others like yourself, to change the channel.

Sadly, there are complete idiots out there that will keep watching shows they hate, because they want to see how they'll be offended next. :doubt:

Post by: deep_eyes on January 07, 2005, 10:55:56 pm: the interesting thing is, after the much public issue with these 2 Fat kids and MCDONALDS, the govnt here did make a law change making it harder to sue a company for your own neglegence. they should do the same for these morons who think they can sue for anything. i swear someones gonna sue the Gap because their Boot cut jeans didnt come in PINK and have emotional distress from it.... whut a fuggin world.... gotta love it!

Post by: Bobboau on January 07, 2005, 11:10:04 pm: "I wanted to by this thing but I didn't have enough to pay for it and this caused me $10,000,000,000 worth of emotional damage. and now that I've won the settlement I think I don't have to worry about that anymore"

I think a bunch of people should file a class action lawsuit aginst all these idiots claiming emotional distress and damages (to the legal system)

Post by: Taristin on January 07, 2005, 11:11:36 pm: I'm suing Titus and interplay for the emotional distress of not making an FS3. (Too bad they're both dead now, though... :()

Post by: karajorma on January 08, 2005, 08:48:09 am: What really makes me laugh is that this guy is obviously a regular viewer of Fear Factor. If the show is so bad why does he watch it so often?

[color=66ff00]I find the plaintiff's claim ridiculous, case dismissed.

Post by: WeatherOp on January 08, 2005, 02:28:56 pm: I too find the program stupid, I remember when they stuck the 7 or so needles in the people and than pulled them out. And probley it would make someone like me sick. But, still that lawsuit is so stupid, like said so many times he was not made to watch it. Maybe next time I watch something that has explosions in it, I will sue the T.V. channel for airing something that made my eyes hurt.:D

Post by: Grimloq on January 08, 2005, 02:31:48 pm: o.O

all reality shows suck except for one:

theres this REALLY cool one where they put all the people who think up reality shows in a pitch-black room, and arm each one with a knife. then, they leave them in there until only one is left alive. and hes the winner! the winner gets 50 000 000 dollars as a prize (and pays a tiny 49 999 000 dollars as a playing-fee) and also gets executed for murder.

*grabs popcorn and sits back* i love that show.

[/sarcasm]

Post by: Grey Wolf on January 08, 2005, 05:57:41 pm: I'd pay to see that one, but only if they left the lights on and gave them better weapons. Maybe katanas, just to watch them not know how to properly use them.

Post by: WeatherOp on January 08, 2005, 08:48:11 pm: And the person with the most ashes wins $250k, $249,999.00. whitch goes to the black market for the bomb, $1 would go to dump that person's ashes on the ground.:lol:

Post by: Vertigo1 on January 08, 2005, 10:43:59 pm: I have a much better idea to deter things like this. I say buy an island off the coast of some nasty third-world country that nobody wants to visit, dump any morons like this, and anyone that has any idea for yet another "reality" tv show and force them to watch Hamblin's Janeway porn until they die from either exposure or hunger. While you're at it, make spammers around the world join them in their blissfull demise. :D
Title: The dumbest thing in america....
Post by: Grey Wolf on January 09, 2005, 12:44:28 am: Will we allow them to have katanas on the island?

Nothing hurts as much as getting your hurt spooned out by the darn aluminium or preferably plastic spoon made in Taiwan.

Post by: deep_eyes on January 09, 2005, 09:57:44 am: in my job, we were all saying they should do a reality talk show of our store and see all the melodrama and agrivated harasment that goes on in retail....

then we'd be sued by the gap for creative rights stealin!

good. because it's a scary program. basically they make people do things that most humans are afraid of. everything from eating blended sheep brains, rotten ostrich eggs, jumping out of an airplane (with a safety harness of course), getting raped, etc. etc.

i'm j/k about the last one.
