Casper Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 This guy right here is a prime example why the rest of the world hates us: --------------------------------- CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -- A viewer is suing NBC for $2.5 million, contending that he threw up because of a "Fear Factor" episode in which contestants ate rats mixed in a blender. Austin Aitken told The Associated Press he watches "Fear Factor" often and had no problem with past installments where the reality show's participants ate worms and insects in pursuit of a $50,000 prize -- but eating rats went "too far." "It's barbaric, some of the things they ask these individuals to do," Aitken said Thursday. Aitken's handwritten lawsuit contends the rat-eating made his blood pressure rise, resulting in being dizzy and lightheaded -- and vomiting. Because he was disoriented he ran into a doorway, "causing suffering, injury and great pain." Asked why he didn't shut off his television before the rat-eating segment, Aitken said he couldn't do it quick enough. NBC responded with a brief statement: "We believe that the claim is completely without merit." Aitken, a 49-year-old part-time paralegal, said he wants to send a message to NBC and other networks with the lawsuit. He said he isn't concerned with winning a cash judgment in court. "I just put any figure. You really think I expect to get $2.5 million?" he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bgbdbn Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 The only way to make that situation worse is to have a dumb ass judge allow it to proceed to a hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GSRchick714 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 FEAR FACTOR....maybe he should think about what this means. " Because he was disoriented he ran into a doorway, "causing suffering, injury and great pain. Asked why he didn't shut off his television before the rat-eating segment, Aitken said he couldn't do it quick enough." Wow...what a winner! I think he should stick to watching care bears or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lojik Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Asked why he didn't shut off his television before the rat-eating segment, Aitken said he couldn't do it quick enough. And asked why he didn't close his eyes before the rat-eating segment, Aitken said he does not have the mental capacity to complete such tasks. He then proceeded to piss his pants.
