Fear Factor Donkey Semen Pulled?
On Monday, there might be a Fear Factor worth watching. According to reports, Monday’s Fear Factor will show contestants drinking donkey semen and donkey urine. Yes, you read that right. Totally disgusting … but should be good for a few laughs.
Unfortunately, it might not happen. NBC and Fear Factor producers are considering pulling the show. It sounds like they thinking drinking donkey semen and drinking donkey urine might be too hardcore for television.

08.08.08 – Lucky Microsoft! Loads of Sponsorship Eyeballs
After browsing around the NBC Olympics website I got to noticing just how much screen real estate that Microsoft is gathering on the site. They’ve just about got every single corner of the page covered by one of their properties.

NBC Olympics Website Uses Silverlight…or are they?
I’m really excited about the Olympics getting ready to start on 08.08.08. Even as simple as it is, I love the date it’s about to start. One of the other things I’m looking forward to this year is the ability to really be able to enjoy the highlights of the various events that I will inevitably miss because of work or other responsibilities. NBC has used the Microsoft Silverlight media… More »
