Did anyone see NBC's Fear Factor last night? One of the "stunts" was each remaining contestant had to have their skin pierced by 10 needles that got gradually larger. It was almost like watching people get tortured. Crazy stunts and cows nuts are one thing, but people getting jabbed by needles, seems a like a line was crossed......
Has Fear Factor gone too far?

I think they crossed the line. We wouldn't do that to prisoners of war.

And yet...you both watched! (As did I!) It's called ratings folks. Chances are even more people will tune in next week to see how far they will go!

- Interests:My interests vary. However, they focus mainly on my husband and children. Getting my boys through college and creating a good life for themselves. I enjoy anything creative, artistic and thought provoking. Music ranges from Andrea Boccelli to some hiphop groups. I enjoy dancing, singing and life in general. Former U.S. Marine - pretty conservative in my opinions but always open to listening to what others have to say.

Last night they had people eating cow, sheep and fish eyeballs!!!!!!!!! 
That was sooooooo disgusting. Fortunately dinner was done and over with before my hubby put that on.
I think the networks have become addicted to these reality shows. There's nothing good on t.v. anymore. PBS is all that's left. Sigh!
