"The Onion" video on large pythons

It is true that it is supposed to be humor, but unfortunately there are a lot of gullible people out there that won't get it and will take it in all seriousness. I've seen a lot of videos from The Onion end up send out en masse as email forwards to and from people fully believing what they were seeing was true because they had no clue that The Onion is all about parody.

I think I've seen quite a few of them end up on snopes.com being questioned as to whether what they were seeing was real or not. That's just how blurred the line is when it comes to their videos.
