Am I a bad person for thinking it would be hilarious to somehow get Fox News to promote eel enemas as the next hydroxychloroquine/ivermectin?

Just for headline clarity, we’re not talking about the eel’s constipation, right?

(but wait, there’s more! Here’s "My hovercraft is full of eels" in various languages)

No, nope, hell no.

Reminds me of that scene in Prometheus, shudder.
I mean when I get constipated I know I want relief, but what exactly is that eel supposed to do in there?
Is this a quantum eel? Can it beam the poop out of the body?

How about we try a nice warm saline enema? Or lots of bulk fiber. Triple shot espresso?
Or 64oz of Gatorade and an entire bottle of Miralax. (The DIY version of GoLYTELY.)
