So, I open foxnews.com, and the featured story is this...

They must really be working to give snakes a bad name.

This makes me sick! Snakes already have a bad reputation as it is... this over-dramatic article doesn't help one bit. Not to mention it conveniently showing up while the Boa/Python "ban" proposal is going on.

Thanks for posting the link, by the way. I can't belive this made "front page" news on their website.

I think that ban is why it was on the front page news... Why else would they report on natural selection as a hot news topic.

Yeah, i'd like to see a 110 lb scrub.

Also, ya think if you find a 16 foot python in your dog house that maybe you keep a close eye on your dog for a few days??? Stupid...
