So the travel reporter is doing her thing on the China infomercial they have been running all week and today's segment is on snake wine. The wine not only includes snake but a squewered turtle, a chunk of bear and who knows what else.
The "beverage" is claimed to enhance libido, extend your penis, give you larger boobs, make you more intelligent, give you hairier armpits etc. etc. (The usual stuff.)
What bugs me is that half the ingredients are from the same animals that the Animal Planet channel is telling us to avoid as consumers because the illegal trade in many of these species is driving them to extinction.... and in most cases the claims about the properties are completely bogus.
The reporter also commited the usual faux paux of stating that the snake (in the wine) was poisonous. I ask "Why would you consume a wine you have just claimed is made with poison?" Venemous girl, not poisonous - VENEMOUS. She seemed to be skulling a large glass of the stuff!
Her quote (above) probably about sums up the whole segment.
