Episode tonight: A mom binge drinks for 30 days to prove to her 19 year old college daughter that it can be harmful. So far, I'm surprised that the parents are just letting their daughter drink like that, even though she's not even 21.
Like...I'm a binge drinker okay. Getting drunk is so fun. It's just great. I want to be drunk all the time. Yeah!
That lady is crazy to want to do that everyday for 30 days at her age. I'm 31 and have been reduced to a weekend warrior. 2 days of hardcore drinking is all I can do..... Now that I think about it, she didn't have to work the next morning. I may be able to do it if I didn't have to work and had the cash to support that kind of lifestyle.
Night of Bowling for a family of 4: $28 Nachos and Pizza for the kids: $12 Seeing a mom get **** faced and making her kid cry: PRICELESS
The only one I couldn't do so far of the episodes I have seen is being a psycho environmentalist...I am all for cutting waste, but the world is going to end eventually and crapping in a bucket, living in a mud house, and other inconvenient things is not going to save it. In order of fun: 1) Binge drinking 2) Living with a gay guy 3) Living with a Muslim family 100) Living with in the middle of no where with hippies.
No, I didn't see it. I knew I missed an episode. It would be either 3 or 4 on my list...but I still would put environmentalist last.
Mean to imply that the minimum wage episode (which I think was the pilot) would be #1 on my list. in fact, I wish Spurlock himself would be the feature of the show instead of some of these random idiots.
For the Muslim and gay episodes, I think they picked good people. For the Muslim episode, the guy was a whitebread West Virginian and for the gay episode, the guy had served in the military. I think it was eye opening for both of them.
