It may not be your cup of tea, and maybe it can be argued as the first step of the End of the World as We Know It, but there's a new game show on G4 this fall.G4 is a video-game heavy, hipper-than-you gameshow channel aimed at the 16-34 young mens' demographic that advertisers fall all over themselves to reach. So what do the Powers That Be Think these kids want to watch? Hurl. That's right, and it's exactly how it sounds.
A cross between Jackass and Fear Factor, contestants speed-eat mass amounts of food followed by extreme physical challenges designed to make them, well- hurl.
From the website:
"With HURL!, participants are subjected to a series of challenges: Spiraling down a tunnel in a steel cage ball after eating mounds of Mac N Cheese…saddling up for a bucking, spinning spew-inducing thrill ride on the mechanical bull afer downing a passel of franks n' beans..and much more! Last contestant to spew can win a cool grand plus bragging rights as a "Iron Stomach Champion."
This? This is what we are reduced to? "We'll take what's on another channel for $500, Alex."
Tina is a writer, and a fan of the inane and silly. She is probably not as funny as she thinks. Judge for yourself when you visit her site Send Chocolate.
