Scribbles about News: Man tries to get eaten by an Anaconda for TV and *Spoilers* People are upset he didn't get eaten.

I don't know what sort of news I was expecting this morning... There is so sooo much wrong with this being a thing that I don't even know where to begin.

So on some sort of Discovery Channel or something a man volunteered, I guess, to be eaten by an Anaconda on TV. So they did this whole special on whatever channel this garbage is on called "Eaten Alive" and I guess people actually wanted to see this guy become lunch so they started watching. He had a special suit designed so that the snake wouldn't crush his bones while he was being eaten alive. You would think maybe the idea of possibly getting your bones crushed would be enough to not make someone want to get eaten by a snake... but not this guy.

I wonder if at any point he was like "This is a bad idea" and TV Producers were like "No, you gotta do this shit! It will work! You might get eaten and die... but think of the ratings!" Probably not because something tells me, this guy went into this assignment knowing that he definitely would not get eaten by this thing. I don't think it was like a SNAFU and he almost got eaten but then didn't, I think that he knew at some point the crew or whoever would help him out and that he wouldn't actually get eaten.

I guess the snake-food guy defended this insane premise and said that the show was "Mostly about the rainforest." Like that is what he wanted people to watch... then fucking make a show about the rainforest! Don't do garbage like this just for ratings. I mean I'm guessing this guy has a degree in science, or snakes or snake food... so he should be intelligent enough to realize that this isn't a thing that should happen. Also they didn't have to name it Eaten Alive if the guy didn't get eaten alive. It wasn't live TV, they could have named it something else. It wasn't live tv, they could have called it "will he be snake lunch" or something like that. It's also a crappy ratings ploy and a longer harder to say title but it would have created mystery and people would have been okay with it maybe. Maybe not so much okay as not that angry. I don't know.

And don't even get me started on everyone's reactions! They wanted this guy to get eaten! They were outraged! And the guy did actually get mostly eaten, so I don't see why they were that disappointed. Someone tweeted "That's two hours of my life that I'll never get back." Congratulations? I'm not sure what this guys deal is that he's like so busy to live an exciting and cool life that he will take 2 hours off to watch some terrible reality show. And then when the guy doesn't get eaten he was like "well that's 2 hours wasted." Like what? I just find that really confusing. He was probably like "I could have watched 4 episodes of Jackass and seen better stuff than this." This guy could have died and people are like "why didn't he get eaten." I'm just not sure who this special was meant for. I find that so funny thought that people were like "but he didn't get eaten?" What did you expect! They couldn't air it if he actually died and they probably need this guy to do more of these things, so they'll continue it.

I wonder what they will continue this with. They say he wants to be eaten by a 26 inch anaconda or something like that. I think he should go on to different animals. Like 'Watch this guy not be eaten by an elephant." Or "Eaten Alive: Anteater edition" where he disguises himself as an ant in an attempt to get eaten alive by an ant. Super funny all around.

Soo... yeah. I kind of give up. Lol. I may move to another planet. Or I may do a special on a Peanut Butter Sandwich that does get eaten alive or something... ohhh man. This is bad for everyone involved.

Byeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
