i\'m actually a fan of the show, though i don\'t like joe rogan at all.. i think he\'s a tool and he ruined the man show.. well, actually, comedy central ruined it by keeping it going after jimmy and adam left, but whatever...

though i just found out last week that rogan used to be a UFC fighter, which i totally can\'t see, but i guess that\'s pretty cool or something..

The lawsuit is so bunk....

I choose NOT to watch that stupid show because I cant stomach the grossness of Joe Rogan and the **** that they make those idiots eat.....

Joe Rogan\'s 15 minutes was up after News Radio went off the air....  Though he did make a minor comeback in Chappelles Show....

"there\'s one thing you don\'t know about me Joe Rogan.....I smoke rocks"

I think I\'ll sue Trump, since he made me nauseous the last time I saw him.

I think I am more sickened by the lawsuit than the guy was while he watched the show.

Viewer sickened by \'Fear Factor\' sues for $2.5 mil

January 7, 2005

CLEVELAND -- A viewer is suing NBC for $2.5 million, contending that he threw up because he saw a \'\'Fear Factor\'\' episode in which contestants ate rats mixed in a blender.

Austin Aitken said 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 dizziness 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, Aitken said he couldn\'t do it quickly enough.

NBC responded with this statement: \'\'We believe that the claim is completely without merit.\'\'
