Python vs. Alligator

Posted by samzenpus on from the more-than-a-mouthful dept.

evil agent writes "Fox News is reporting an incident in Everglades National Park where a python tried to swallow an alligator whole, causing it to explode. A picture of the aftermath is also provided. Scientists say that these python vs. alligator battles are becoming more frequent due to pet owners who discard the nonnative pythons in the Everglades."

    No, the jokes are the dickheads who continually try to discredit a Fox News because they do more Republican-fellating than their preferred news source-disguised-as-heathen speak.

    Aymen to that.

    Fox News recently argued successfully in court that they had a right to lie and distort the news.
