but at the same time there's a lot of writers out there that write outlandish stories in an attempt to show people how dumb their society really is!

Problem with that approach is that those same stupid people you are trying to make fun of with that over the top story read it and then the get wide eyed over things that will not happen.... they just believe every word and demand that they be protected, this then leads to more stupid laws to protect stupid people because of stupid ideas / comments in stupid articles. And with herps in general most people are way behind the learning curve (ie stupid).

No good can come from this... right now there are people contacting thier elected officials demanding something be done less they die of mortal fear of the marching invasion of 20 foot snakes that this study has "promised" them by 2020.

With this kind of sensational article - If you print it they will believe...
