Is there a worse show on TV than Fear Factor?
Of all the dreck that television throws at us these days, I think they've hit rock bottom with Fear Factor.

It's sad to see to what extent people will debase themselves for a few dollars.

1. No I've decided they haven't hit rock bottom quite yet
we haven't had anyone defecating on TV in front of the cameras for money.

We haven't had anyone actually saw off any body parts on TV.

We haven't had anyone sell their children on TV.

etc.

6. yes thanks, I was struggling to remember the name of this one
although, I have to say, I think "Growing up Gotti" is the tackiest ever, considering how this family got their money and fame. But since the BFEE runs the country, I guess it fits.
