REAL LIVE SNAKES ON AN ACTUAL PLANE!
Now, I haven't really talked about it much, but, like much of my Hollywood brethren, I have succumbed to the ecstatic hype surrounding the as-yet-unreleased Snakes on a Plane. I like to call the phenomenon "Snakes on a Plania!"
I don't know if anyone else has seen this yet news story yet, but I could hardly believe my eyes.
Yes, this is an actual news story.
No, I don't know why the headline writers couldn't come up with something better than: "Pilot Grabs Snake, Lands Plane". Keep in mind that it is a TV station in Louisville, Kentucky.
Still, I imagine they went through several drafts. My imagined reasons for their rejection are in parenthesis.
Pilot Chokes Snake As Plane Goes Down!
(not family-oriented enough)
Snake on Plane, But No Samuel L. Jackson In Sight!
(too promotional. also, Kentucky)
Flying Snake Not Deadly
(slightly misleading...and not dangerous-sounding enough)
TECHNORATI TAGS: Snakes on a Plane
PS- Next season of Assistant/Atlas begins this week. . . hey, it ain't 24, but at least it'll be fresh and better than 98% of summer television.

I'm really surprised at no reference to a 'trouser snake'.
Or is that just me?

I saw the snakes on plane thing and thought it was a joke! How did they sell that idea? Could you uimagine, "So I have this story idea, picture snakes and a plane."

Seriously, I thought that news story was a joke at first when I saw it on Defamer. And seeing that the Defamer link pointed to a Fox News story didn't help matters any.
But never mind that, Atlas; I saw on ESPN today that somebody pooped in one of the holes on the golf course at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio.
Now *that's* the kind of fearless soul you need for the "Poop on Ryan Seacrest's Star" contest!
