NBC is being sued by a man who claims he suffered distress watching
contestants on hit show Fear Factor eat rats. Austin Aitken, from
Cleveland, Ohio, is demanding $2.5 million from the network. In a
handwritten four-page lawsuit filed in federal court on Tuesday,
paralegal Aitken says, "To have the individuals on the show
eat...and drink dead rats was crazy and from a viewer's point of
view made me throw-up as well an another in the house at the same
time." A spokesman for Fear Factor says there will be no comment
until producers have seen a copy of the complaint.
