THE SPOT
In the :30 "Fierce Snake," Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter) handles a large venomous reptile. He assures viewers that if he gets bitten, he uses FedEx to overnight the anti-venom. ("In my line of work, if you’re not absolutely sure, you’re absolutely dead.") Unfortunately Irwin learns the hard way that another international carrier was used.
Spot broke in September.
