I was changing the channels and came across the Rob Nelson show with the Topic being Extremes, Body Modification Extremes, Sports Extremes and ect. First guests were Enigma and Katzen, the camera panned in on them walking around California and the stares and the people talking about them and whispering. They visited a store and tried on clothing, they visited a restaurant for dinner, they walked the streets of Los Angeles. As the camera man is panning through all this Rob Nelson is completely and totally focusing the whole segment on how society views what they have done and how society as a whole responds to how Enigma and Katzen have transformed their body's with Modification, not on how Enigma and Katzen came to this choice and how they feel about Body modification, nor what they believe influenced them to go to such "extremes", as Rob puts it.

The show pans back to the studio with Enigma and Katzen sitting in their chairs talking to Rob Nelson. Engima seems to frantically try to steer the conversation as to why he has chose these types of modifications and what they mean to him, and Rob Nelson continues to cut him off every time to focus on society and how they react to him. He then starts a conversation with Katzen in the same degree as to the reactions she gets towards her heavily modificated self as opposed to her decision to modify her body. He then insults both of them by asking if they could even get a job at Burger King, Enigma laughs at him, almost sounded as if it were a pity laugh and starts to tell Rob that he wouldn't want to work for a place like that to begin with, then again, in Rob Nelson fashion in order to appease his audience, he goes back to discussing social views and where they would find a job with all their modifications, as if to say there somehow less intelligent because of their modific ations. Rob also states that Katzen is an accountant, a blatant slur towards her, sarcasm dripping as he says it, as if she couldn't do that if she choose to. Katzen obviously gives Rob and evil eye and reaches up to fix her whiskers. Enigma seems frustrated by the conversation and starts talking physics and Rob stares at him blindly as if a deer caught in headlights and the show cuts to a commercial break. Now keep in mind the whole time that Rob is talking to Enigma and Katzen he is also putting his hands all over them, on Katzens head, tugging at her whisker implants, moving Enigma's horn implants around and generally just doing as he pleases justifying it by saying that he finds it interesting and incredible.
Now were back, says the rude and obnoxious host, the camera pans to another Body Modification Artist, but the camera flashes so quickly from him to a woman in the audience who appears ready to vomit at any point in time, that his actual name and what he does as it appears on the bottom of every guest speaker, isn't seen. Rob begins to discuss his tongue splitting and actually attempted to touch it, the body mod artist quickly re-inserts his tongue back into his mouth and explains why Rob cannot touch it, yet again in Rob fashion, he then repeats the same statements he has said previously to Enigma and Katzen, that he's fascinated with Body Modification and he wants to touch, look and feel the modifications. This was absolutely absurd to me. I bet if he was interviewing a guest and hosting a show based on breast implants he wouldn't reach over and grab a cupful of goodness right, so what makes it ok for him to put his hands on each Body Modificated guest?
The segment ended with Enigma and Katzen doing a short show for the audience, playing guitar, singing, Katzen creating lots of sparks from an electrical device, and in the background all you hear is people talking and screaming and such, as if Mozart would be upset if he were playing a symphony to a crowd of people that disrespected his art form.
The show was a disgrace. The host was rude, disrespectful and lacked simple common sense. This story will be forwarded to the Fox Broadcasting Network, which hosts The Rob Nelson Show and I encourage everyone to forward their feelings and concerns to:

I don't believe the site has a direct email, just a page with a submission for comments. I also would like to add that I will no longer be watching this show. It was a disgrace to the Body Modificated Community of people who deserve respect for the way they choose to live their lives.
