i just can't imagine a bunch of villagers going to such an eloborate effort for the 'benefit' of internet ( & other media ) consumers such as us.
I agree.

Even if it did the impossible and started on both feet simultaneously the guys arms would be stretched upward , above the head, due to the swallowing process, wich they are not.

In Fact there is no way to swallow a person and end up with the person arms in that position.

Therer are also legititamte pics of a malaysian retic attempting to swallow a rubber plantation worker. In those pics the snake has the head swallowed and got stuck on theshoulders. The pics are genuine and the snake was killed, and the mans body retrieved.

How do you know?? Youve seen a snake that size try to eat a real man have you???

After seeing that rock python eat that antelope on that David Attenborough show the other day, a small man seems like light work for a snake of that size.

You know, how did they know that the snake had eaten a person? If someone had seen it eating someone, then it definitely wouldn't have gotten to the point where the snake had completely eaten them- as it has here. It's like they were curious and cut it open to see what it had eaten.
