Man claims hes going to wear "snake proof" suit to be swallowed by anaconda

I signed it too. There is only a few more signatures needed!

I just watched a documentary called titanaboa about a huge snake from 65 million yrs ago and despite the fact I learned some fascinating stuff about big snakes, the whole show had a "oh evil snake" feel to it with exaggerated sensationalism the entire time that really annoyed me!!

Thank you so much for posting this. I signed and left a nice comment about the decline of the Discovery channel.

Signed the petition, really hope this is an elaborate joke. Did anyone else catch the words under the picture?

Paul Rosolie with the snake he says he will allow to eat him alive

The snake in that picture couldn't manage an adult rabbit, let alone a grown man. Just... ugh... This is sickening.

When I first starting reading I thought this was going to be a David Blaine or Chris Angel magic trick.

From the promo video it looks like the man is tethered and expects to be party swallowed and then pulled out. But whatever, it is animal cruelty and a very stupid stunt. Discovery Channel seems to have made the editorial decision that its tv programs have to be overly dramatized to draw in viewers, rather than informative or educational. It's a shame, really.

Even a show like Dual Survivor shows (and probably encourages) one of the hosts engaging in high-risk and dangerous stunts to make it "interesting" instead of actually teaching viewers.

Did the same. Thanks for posting the link, Shamri.

Signed.

Disgusting animal sensationalism

I signed too! And left a lovely comment for them. Disgusting.

I can't even fathom it.

There was some discussion about this in the FB groups last night. Apparently the show, or parts of it, have aired overseas already. The snake didn't get the memo that he was supposed to eat the guy.
