The president of the Discovery Channel is finally speaking out about their recent special Eaten Alive. The highly hyped network event was supposed to show Paul Rosalie, a noted naturalist, as he was consumed by a giant Anaconda, something that would be made possible by a special suit he was wearing. In the end the snake never did eat Rosalie, and now, Discovery president Rich Ross is admitting that the show was misleading.

Maybe the snake was trying to lose some weight.

Why not show DVD’s like “The Privileged Planet” .. so children can learn the Earth’s place in the Universe.

And .. stop showing the LEFTY stuff that always tries to prove all the humans are at fault for “global warming” .. which is a bunch of crock.

If you need info about the truth of global warming, just read, “Red Hot Lies”, by Chris Horner. You may actually learn something. Chris also wrote, “The Politically Incorrect Guide(TM) to Global Warming and Environmentalism”.

And .. in case you wondered, all the ALARMISTS HATE HIM. Hmmmmm ..?? He must be on to something.

In case you wondered what (TM) means: It says a portion of the title, “The Politically Incorrect Guide”, is a TRADE MARKED name.

I missed it. Think I was watching “(NOT) Finding Bigfoot” instead.

Most advertising is just empty hype, so no one should have been deceived.
This was a deliberate misuse of the meaning of words. “Eaten” means consumed, swallowed, dissolved by stomach acids and assimilated into the organism that ate it.
They knew that.

REALLY!!! People actaully thought a real human was going to film himself being eaten by an anaconda for TV? Only Obama voters could be so stupid.
