This anaconda don't want none unless you're wearing a specially-designed suit that prevents it from digesting you, hon. 

Actually, we have a feeling the anaconda really doesn't want none of this, but hey, science ratings. 

The Discovery Channel plans to air a special titled Eaten Alive in which an idiot naturalist named Paul Rosolie will be eaten alive by an actual anaconda while he's wearing a snake-proof suit covered in pig's blood (to make him more appetizing). 

There is already a petition on change.org referring to the special as "animal abuse to the highest degree" and calling on people to boycott the network. 

Network reps have assured Entertainment Weekly that it's not a hoax, the magazine reports. Here's the promos that have been released so far.
