Excruciatingly Painful, 21 July 2001
1/10
Author: Chris Winston from Fairbanks, U.S. Territory of Alaska

Out of my entire life thus far, through severe heartbreak and some minor jailtime included, this was about 90 of the WORST minutes of my life. What boggles my mind is how it could have so many votes of "10" - give me a break!!! I give this a -235. MST3K is definitely the choice version, otherwise you'd be better off killing yourself than watching this.
