This Guy Will Get Eaten Alive by an Anaconda on the Discovery Channel

The description leaves alot out. I think it's impossible to not kill the snake in the process or he's not truly going to be swallowed.

This Guy Will Get Eaten Alive by an Anaconda on the Discovery Channel
On Dec. 7, Paul Rosolie will be eaten alive. By an anaconda. On television.

Seriously? Seriously. Fortunately for the 26-year-old wildlife filmmaker, he’ll don a custom-made, snake-proof suit beforehand—but still. Eaten Alive will give him (and those of us brave enough to tune in) a unique perspective on what life’s like down an enormous snake’s gullet. We’re not sure when the Discovery Channel got out of the business of boring the pants off children nationwide and into the business of making American Horror Story: Freak Show look like it belongs on Nick Jr., but here we are.

Discovery first hinted at the upcoming special in a promo aired during Nik Wallenda’s Chicago tightrope walk on Sunday, but since then, the channel has played this very close to the vest. Show clips tweeted by Rosolie himself—who has previously trapped anacondas in the heart of the Amazon, as one does—are now private.

Will Rosolie survive? Will the anaconda survive? Is this all just a crazy bunch of bull****? And most importantly, why wasn’t Jon Voight available?

I don't think the Snake will be designed to pass that big a pile of s-h-i-t undigested. I can't see this ending well for the snake.

 

[WLDB]

Maybe the suit will fail and it will end badly for the guy.

And most importantly, why wasn’t Jon Voight available?

Been there, done that.

Animal cruelty is against the law. Unfortunately, animal stupidity isn't.

 

[Nuggler]

Wants to be a good suit. Snakey digestive juices are pretty strong.

Guy's a nutcase. Hope his suit rips.

Gett'em Snakey.

In order to get out, guess the snake has to be opened up. MARF!!


PETA has come out strongly on the side of Annie the Anaconda.

 

[Cliffy]

This is beyond stupid. This idiot doesn't know that an anaconda crushes it prey, breaking most bones so it can swallow it. The guy won't survive the swallowing. May as well try to get swallowed by a shark.

This is why I think it's a hoax of sorts. It'll end up being a camera the poor snake is tricked into swallowing.

PETA and the SPCA would never allow such a thing to happen.

Too bad. I was looking forward to him being crushed for his stupidity.

actually he sounds like a decent human being who won't be taking a chance on hurting the snake:

Paul Rosolie is a naturalist, author, and award-winning wildlife filmmaker who has specialized in the western Amazon for nearly a decade. Along with running a conservation project called Tamandua Expeditions that uses tourism to support rainforest conservation, Paul’s work has taken him to some of the last dark places on the map.
