FL Man dies after bug eating contest

[WolfCypher]

One would think the giveaway of a python would bug the authorities, considering how Florida is being overtaken by serpents.

Ya those suckers are running the everglades

Sounds like these people can just stroll down the pass and just find a dozen potential pet lizards. No need to pigout on roaches.

So let me get this straight. A man died after consuming roaches at a bug-eating contest, but none of the other contestants felt any similar ill effects. The person who the wrote the news article, in point of fact, didn't even know how the man died. The police are still in the midst of investigating the case, and the coroner hasn't even released a statement yet.

What this story equates to is basically "A man died and we don't know why yet."

But that's not exciting enough.

Then it shouldn't be news.

Then it shouldn't be news.

Most news aren't exciting. However, this story has the bug-eating angle that makes it just enticing enough for them to create an overblown and exaggerated headline.

Sounds like a segment from FAIL Factor.

Well, I wasn't the one who died and I did get to win the python...
