TV, Herpatologists and Wildlife Porn

HELLO GENTLE READERS:

Is it just me or, does every Herpatologist on the planet have a TV show? It seems as though every other channel has somebody capturing a croc, snagging a snake or leaping on a lizard. Where do they find these people? Did they miss out on 2 million years worth of Evolution? These are not pets to cuddle by the campfire--they're creatures to be avoided!

Have you seen Dr. Brady Barr? He's on National Geographic Channel about 23 times a day. He's the Martha Stewart of the reptile world. Good Lord, he has "guest" wranglers! He's from Indiana for God's sake. Normally a very sensable State. Who raises these people? Does this "reptile" proclivity run in families? Indiana? Good Lord!

Man! I saw Barr get bit by an 80 foot long Boa. Ok, it was only 27 feet long-still a big-ass snake! Boas? Please! I went to college. I have a degree. These are animals they taught us to avoid, not pursue! Reptile wrangling?

You know, they sell a lot of commercials too. They know we can't stop watching shows like this. It's like combining Wheel of Fortune with Wild Kingdom. Wildlife Porn!
