The Onion “reported” that the will of John de Mol, creator of Fear Factor, has included some interesting options in his will. True to form, he bequeathed his estate to his wife and children on the condition that they fully consume the ashes from his freshly cremated corpse. If they complete the task, they will receive $10 million and a Caribbean vacation. If they do not complete the task, they will not receive the inheritance unless they spend one hour locked in a coffin filled with maggots.
