Maybe you thought reality TV hit the lowest of the low when "Fear Factor" contestants devoured cockroaches, or when gold diggers paraded their wares in hopes of marrying a millionaire, or when Tila Tequila got a second shot at "love" with 10 guys and 10 girls.
Those shows look like "Masterpiece Theater" compared to what's coming.
Take, for instance, "Hurl," an eating-and-regurgitating competition in which contestants gorge themselves on everything from chicken pot pies to peanut butter sandwiches, then get strapped into spinning contraptions -- whoever vomits last wins....

One of my favorite TV shows is “The Soup.” They watch this kind of garbage so I don’t have to, and pull out the funniest parts. Plus, they are deliciously snarky.
I saw an ad for “Hurl” the other day. Talk about pathetic.
"Tard" refers to the ping list members and not to the subject of the thread!
List of Ping Lists
My wife and I have a date every Tuesday night for Hell’s Kitchen. I like Survivor Man. Bizarre Foods. Man Vs. Wild. Discovery Channel. History Channel.
I hate ABC though.
I doubt it. No matter how low they go, they will just keep digging.
HAHAHA - I love that show too for the exact same reasons.
I love The Soup. Joel McHale cracks me up.
Next up, “Enema Challenge!” Whoever can hold the mostest for the longest without leakage wins a trip to Thailand.
Hurl, no thank you. Help, I’m trapped in a Japanese Game Show and the US version of MXC are both ones I’m looking forward to. Curse the evil that pits the premier against Hell’s Kitchen final tonight!
I’ll take Unbeatable Banzuke any day.
Reality TV won’t hit bottom until they start showing YouTube on it. That’s where the really scar stuff is.
At the risk of being flamed here, I have to be honest: I love reality TV. Probably for the same reason I love gossip. I love being “in the loop” and watching what the bulk of humanity is up to especially when they’re set free from the atrociously bad script writers of regular TV.
Give me lame reality TV over a lame TV script any day.
“Idiocracy” is coming true 500 years too early. ;)
My Dear Wife and Daughters love that crap. If I have to listen to another American Idol Wannabee being told they are talentless by Simon, I may need to shoot myself.

Perhaps there needs to be a reality TV show, “Hottest Teacher”. Whatever 16 year old boy bangs the hottest female teacher wins.
I once had a female dog that looked just like Lou.
