My big Redneck Wedding

Along this same line, my daughter was watching Disney Channel today, and the show about kids on a Yacht, I forget the name, anyhow they had a huge crate labeled Dangerous Snakes.

Now of course the kids manage to knock the lid off the crate, and the snakes start invading the ship.

In the first place, no one is going to take " dangerous snakes" on a cruise ship. Second, no one is going to secure a crate with any live animal in it so poorly. Third, I'd love to know how they figure 99% of those snakes were "dangerous". I spotted Ball Pythons, Hognoses, Cornsnakes, Milk Snakes, Garden Snakes, a Carpet Python, and a beautiful Albino Burmese, as well as several species I did not recognize. Along with numerous rubber snakes.

Sigh. Just one more example of the media perpetuating the myth that all snakes can kill.

You know, it would be rather difficult for anyone to work with actually dangerous snakes on a tv set. They are used because they don't pose any harm to someone. I don't see a problem with this as long as the show doesn't mention that a ball python is a highly venomous snake leading to misinformation.
