TV It's on TV Tonight!
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 2:47 PM
So if you happen to receive the G4 network-- the gaming network that also broadcasts such fantastic shows as Ninja Warrior and Unbeatable Banzuke -- you may or may not want to tune in tonight for the debut episode of what's sure to be one of the most controversial shows of the year, HURL. As explicitly explained in I Love Television this week, Hurl is a new reality competition that forces contestants to eat as much weird food as they possibly can, and then endure a bunch of horribly spinny carnival rides. The person who can best keep control over the contents of their stomach wins a whopping (sarcasm) $1000 -- those who can't? Well... they hurl. Really, if you think about it, most reality shows have the ultimate goal of making their contestants vomit -- Hurl is just the first show to openly admit it. Check out Hurl tonight on G4 at 9 pm, and check out the clip below, which thankfully censors out the vomit.
