The Molotov Cocktail Episode



Where the rat at?
"Rat B*stards" is an American reality show. Or is it surreality? There's no way this is based on a true story, not even freely. I hope...

Rigger (a.k.a. the Mad Scientist of the Bayou), Squirrel, Shane and a few others are gun-touting, bearded, crazy cowboys with heavy Southern accents. Or "Louisiana patriots", as the network's series presentation would have it. Their mission: to exterminate the swamp rats of the Louisiana wetlands by any means necessary. Their motto: "If you can't beat 'em, burn 'em!"

Yes, swamp rats. Apparently, the cuddly, furry and sweet little nutria is a pest species in the United States. Besides, the rats tried to kill Squirrel's dog 40 years ago, so he takes it kind of personally. The extermination team roams the swamps with semi-automatic rifles, Molotov cocktails and even modern GPS equipment. It seems no extermination method is unorthodox enough. At one point, Rigger tries to torch an entire island to get rid of the rat infestation...
