Discovery Claims It Will Show a Man Being "Eaten Alive" By an Anaconda

Posted by samzenpus on from the ratings-war-has-begun dept.

An anonymous reader writes Have you ever wished that you could watch a man be eaten alive by an anaconda from the comfort of your own home? The Discovery Channel is betting that the answer is yes with their upcoming special, Eaten Alive. The channel says wildlife filmmaker Paul Rosolie will don a custom-built snake-proof suit, and go inside a live anaconda. They've even released a teaser. It's unclear what scientific conundrum will be solved in the process of feeding Paul to the snake, or how he plans to get out.

    I've already had all of this sort of thing I could take with this horrifying video of a man being eaten alive excruciatingly slowly by an arctic fox. (NSFW)

    Maybe if you buy 500 channels there might be one or two...

    When cable rolled out those hypothetical 500 channels, it seemed that there might be all kind of niche programming available. Unfortunately, every one of those 500 channels ended up chasing the same demographic after learning the financial meaning of 'niche'.

    that it turned out that the anaconda had a fondness for bread products, and would not eat anything without at least some in.
    The handler turned to the director, and said 'My anaconda don't want none unless she's got buns hun'.

    Now I can literally watch another formerly decent channel turn to shit.

    I propose they rush straight to rock bottom...

    "Kim Kardashian being eaten alive by an Anaconda."

    I'd watch. No scientific justification required.

    "Kim Kardashian being eaten alive by an Anaconda."

    Gives a different perspective to the line: "My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hon"
