Australian cricket legend Shane Warne got his face bitten by a snake on reality TV

Australia doesn’t care how famous an athlete you are. Australia doesn’t give an eff. There was a time where Shane Warne held the same reverence in cricket as Michael Jordan did to basketball. Warne was the face of Gatorade, Nike -- his spin bowling made every Aussie kid throw flippers at trash cans like it was nothing. The reality show I’m a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! did not have the same reverence for Warne.

Instead they made his head smell like rats, dunked it in a container full of snakes and let his face get bitten.

Does this mean we get a Crying Warne meme now?
