Yahoo TV NBC's 'Ultimate Slip 'N Slide' series halted after 'explosive diarrhea' reported on set

Production on the series originally paused on June 2, when the studio was made aware that a crew member had tested positive for giardia. (According to The Wrap, as many as 40 crew members were ultimately affected by the parasite, leaving people "collapsing" on set due to "awful explosive diarrhea" and "being forced to run into port-o-potties." ) Working with L.A. and Ventura County Health Departments, NBCUniversal employed a third-party environmental lab to run tests on the location's water source and determined that it was negative for giardia.

However, additional testing conducted on June 10 turned up positive tests in the surrounding area. As a result, Ultimate Slip 'N Slide will find a new site to complete its final week of production. (The series was originally scheduled to wrap on June 11, with the crew compensated accordingly.)

I just cannot think of a worse combination, explosive diarrhea and a slip ‘n slide. It boggles the mind.

There's either a pandemic or there's not. Clearly NBC is broadcasting that it's a Scamdemic because they're willing to have contestants slide through fecal matter, much less COVID-19.

NBC Slip 'n' Sh.. where contestants need to wear masks and diapers.

“Explosive Diarrhea” would be a good name for a Grunge Rock band.

As a teenager, my friends and I would often go into downtown Portland to watch the bums and other street creatures. This was great entertainment.

One day we stopped and talked to a wino and I asked him if drinking all that wine gave him the shits. The guy looked at me and said “son, I ain’t seen a turd in thirty years...”
