CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -- A viewer is suing NBC for $2.5 million, contending that he threw up because of a "Fear Factor" episode in which contestants ate rats mixed in a blender.
Austin Aitken told The Associated Press 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 being dizzy and lightheaded -- and vomiting. Because he was disoriented he ran into a doorway, "causing suffering, injury and great pain."
I have a question for Mr. Aitken: Why didn�t you just shut the fucking TV off!?! People in this country truly make me sick sometimes. Everyone wants money for nothing. This guy is a 49 year old part-time paralegal... What�s the matter, Austin? Can�t hold down a fulltime job? Your almost 50 years old- stop acting like a spoiled piece of shit. This assclown isn�t going to win anything from this lawsuit, but its going to end up costing NBC money, tie up the courts and be a waste of our tax dollars. This motherfucker needs to be publicly stoned for even trying to pull a stunt like this. I also love how he says, �It�s barbaric, some of the things they ask these individuals to do.� Yet, at the same time, he admits that he frequently watches the show. I hope to Christ this guy doesn�t have any children- and to be safe, he needs to be fixed to ensure he doesn�t have any more. Do us all a favor, Austin- remove yourself from the gene pool before you do any more damage. If I were NBC, after this gets thrown out, I would counter sue for time and money wasted and RUIN THIS GUY�S FUCKING LIFE. Of course, he prob doesn�t have much of one anyway or he wouldn�t be so pathetic as to sue a TV show that he watches regularly. He said he filed the lawsuit to send a message to NBC and to other networks�.. Here�s a tip, Austin- if you want to send a message to NBC, STOP WATCHING THE FUCKIN SHOW, YOU USELESS SACK OF SHIT!
