Now that the highy-anticipated project has come and gone, one question has fortunately been answered: Cloverfield was a major success. (continued)

Does the crocodile grab hold

Does the crocodile grab hold of the bungee jumper and drag him under and presumably eat the poor guy in this "Crocodile Bungee" short? I've watched it six times and I don't see any evidence of the bungee jumper bouncing above in the aftermath but...no! It's bullshit, according to Snopes.com....fake footage put together by some guys working on a Foster's TV ad.
