I gave it to halftime, but the Super Bowl lost my interest pretty quickly. It’s not like I was genuinely interested in the first place, but the Super Bowl is usually a game I can appreciate and enjoy if isn’t teams I dislike (read: last year). But this one got out of hand pretty quickly, and with the Broncos providing absolutely zero resistance, it was pretty clear that it was on very steep downhill to becoming an uninteresting game. So I switched to TLC, when I saw that they were airing a program called Sex Sent Me to the ER.
This is where I’d say “and now I have a new favorite show,” because I know I’ve said that at least fifty times in the last year alone, so I’ll just say that I found the show to be immensely entertaining, and I ended up tuning into two episodes while the Super Bowl mercifully ended, and was amused to an astounding degree.
The actual scenarios are pretty brutal, gross, cringe-worthy, agonizing, or sometimes all of the above, but the best part about the show is the campy reenacting that they do for every single one of the stories. And no one of them was better than the scenario involving the synopsis that stated “440 pound virgin injures girl during sex.” I mean come on, the first inclination is to believe that such massive girth crushed a poor partner or something; it’s not completely inaccurate, as the girth had something to do with it, but it was far, far, far, far more entertaining. Like serious screaming at the television outrageous.
Long story short, 440 pound virgin has sex, but in the process of thrusting that much girth, he inadvertently smashes the girl’s head through a wall. Let me state that again: 440 pound virgin puts girl’s head through a wall. Because he is fat and his girth unintentionally thrust a girl’s head through drywall.
Well TLC, I’m sold. The trainwreck network has snared another intrigued viewer to another one of their trainwreck of a programs. It sure beat watching the Super Bowl.
