Swamp People Kill Big Head

What happens when the History Channel and Animal Planet end up sleeping together after a night of partying during Mardi Gras? 

I found the above quote on a website and if you live in these parts I'm sure you'll appreciate it. If your offened by it, well then you just lack a sense of humor.

"Swamp People."

 

The new reality series spotlighting the families (called "Cajuns") who live within America's largest swamp is an interesting mix of culture and nature. For 30 days, the network followed these swampers during the annual alligator hunt — calling it "a uniquely American story of a proud and skillful people fighting to maintain an ancient way of life in a rapidly modernizing world."

 

With many websites lighting up about the record 13-foot "monster gator" killed during a hunt in the cypress groves. Animal rights activists may not be impressed by the brutality of it all, but History Channel does its best to tone down the violence of the hunt. It's especially disconcerting to hear one of the hunters point out that a popular swimming hole is just a few yards away from the kill. If there's one thing the show hints at early, it's that living in these conditions comes with some dangerous company.

 

"Swamp People" airs each Sunday at 9 p.m. (ET) on the History Channel.
