A traveling carnival is an amusement show made up of rides, games of skill and chance, feats of strength, and some interesting sideshows.

Everybody has been to one of these carnivals and some of the people running the rides and traveling with the carnival are pretty suspect, which may be one reason for my fear of rides in addition to my fear of heights.

The rides are built to use height, speed, and pure G-force to appeal to your senses and scare the crap out of you.

Not much circulating on the internet today for the Viral Video of the Day, so I thought we’d look at some pretty funny reactions to a ride called the “Slingshot.” It turns men into little girls, including strong Marines who’ve been to war defending our country and another where a guy passes out and wakes up not knowing where he is.

Funny stuff…there’s lots of strong language, so watch at your own risk.

Freak out with some of Surfer Stephen’s favorite viral videos below:

• Justin Bieber Covers Timberlake’s ‘Cry Me A River’
• Chris Booker Philly’s Sexiest Bachelor
• Guy Sings Drive-Thru Order
