Enthusiast Whores Self For Discovery Channel

Scandal erupted among the ranks of the American Coaster Enthusiasts this week when member Hugo Monro confessed to making lies and exaggerations in order to be filmed by the Discovery Channel.

The network�s new fall roller coaster special, Top Ten 2002 Thrills, features five steel and five wood coasters judged to be the absolute best the world has to offer. Descriptions of the rides, including the universally beloved classics Hercules, Chiller, Flashback, Son of Beast, Paramount�s Great America�s Grizzly, and various Mind Eraser SLCs, are combined with point-of-view (POP) footage, as well as onboard enthusiast commentaries and interviews.

Said Columbus, Ohio native Munro, 25, �I�ve been racked with guilt ever since doing the special. I have always dreamed of giving my incisive coaster opinions to an enthralled television audience. Unfortunately, Discovery needed someone to do another damn Beast commentary, but I figured, what the hey, anything for my fifteen minutes. I didn�t realize my bald-faced lies would weigh so heavily upon my soul.�

While viewing the special, Munro became visibly distraught as he heard himself cheerfully uttering such preposterous statements as: �Beast is an airtime monster,� �no coaster on the planet Earth has better pacing,� and even �this ride has a good, fun roughness.�

Ultimately sobbing in regret, the enthusiast placed his head in his hands. �What was I thinking? I am such a whore.�

Munro�s self-described �completely absurd� on-board sequence followed, causing him to turn his eyes heavenward, as if asking forgiveness from a higher power. A particularly galling segment of Munro�s narration featured him screaming the following: �Yeah! There are no brakes�oof�(unintelligible)�anywhere. We�re about to�ugh�hit 90 fat miles per hour! Yeah! (unintelligible) Air! More air! Whoo-hoo! Right (unintelligible) best�oof�(obscenity) camelback on this (unintelligible)! Yaaaaah! Yaaaaaaaaah! (unintelligible) number one coaster ever!�

�Boy, that coaster sucked something fierce. I actually got battered so badly during that one ride that I couldn�t walk right for a week, but I just had to be on TV,� confessed Munro. �I have brought shame to my people.� Methodically banging his head against the top of his television set, he added in a barely-audible whisper: �The horror! The horror!�
