Just like Fear Factor. Appealing to the basest of our sinful characteristics: greed. Sheesh--now so one can get into a theme park! How bananas!

What's absurd is PETA saying that...I almost just want to get a truck load of bugs and start stomping on them outside of PETA's office......You know....are they like that giant bug off Men in Black?

Eat food, not bugs. We are nations of thrill-seekers, and have lost our minds. Like Nero fiddling while Rome burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothign wrong in seeking thrill so long as it is not engaged in sin....eating a bug is eating food, they're some of the most nutritional things you can eat.

This story has upset me, too...BUT...for completely different reasons...for one, it's gross...&...It's still ALIVE...Eww!...at least kill and cook the thing! Warning Pregnant women should avoid reading this story just like they should avoid riding roller coasters...It's probably just best if you stay away from 6 Flags all together. I mean, do you really want to wait around for your family to wait in line for the rides or possibly risk seeing others or your own family member(s) eat a large living Madagascar hissing cockroach?!? & then, imagine if your husband should try to kiss you afterward to amuse himself further . One might just have to faint away...possibly causing unnecessary harm to you and your child. ...Spare me. Most seriously, I think this is in very poor taste.
