That sounds like a Jerry Springer Show advert.

O'rly? :cool:

If you're making a show based on shock, fear and sensationalised portrayals of the reptile keeping community - we don't want to hear from you.

It is the vapid, skewed and inaccurate programs you make as a result of a pitch like that which are causing this hobby so much trouble and unfair regulation.

Get back to us if you ever grow a conscience and decide to provide a true representation of a facinating hobby.

I have exchanged a couple private messages with this person and I don't believe they are a troll. I believe the casting call is genuine. As to whether or not the program involved would remotely portray our hobby in a responsible and honest light, I couldn't begin to say. At least in this venue...for once...some level of program manager may actually see our concerns and realize the degree of skepticism and cynicism they have created in the real animal lovers they think they are marketing to.

Any idea WHICH channel it is? If it is someone from Animal Planet they can kiss my big fat you-know-what. If its NatGeo then a few folks might be interested.

Can we at least see some credentials and examples of shows you've produced/cast so an overly exited hobbits doesn't get conned into being on a show that completely misrepresents the hobby and casts keepers in a negative light for just for shock and awe to get good ratings?

You can't blame us for being so defensive. TV these days doesn't care about us and just wants to freak people out to get them to watch the STUPID shows that are produced on "killer snakes" and "snakes will take over the country" and crap along those lines.

Did you happen to get lost on your way to the highway?

Do you need us to show you the way...
