Man to be 'eaten alive' is tweeting promos to TV special

Paul Rosolie, a wildlife filmmaker, to be "eaten alive" in a Discovery Channel special airing next month is tweeting promotions to the special and other wildlife efforts. Huh?

Rosolie apparently survives the stunt by wearing a custom-built snake-proof suit while entering the belly of an anaconda, according to Discovery's website.

Discovery is airing the special, Eaten Alive, on Dec. 7.

Sound like a hoax? Business Insiderdidn't believe the hype so the organization reached out last week to Frank Indiviglio, who now consults with zoos. He told Insider in an e-mail "Nonsense; not possible."
