More dramas in the storied history of One Direction now, as the band's Australian tour crosses paths with the animal kingdom.
This week brought our heroes to Adelaide, where fans were so keen to get to them that they camped out on land behind their hotel, despite the large signs reading "SNAKE HABITAT". Addressing an urgent tweet to the "Girls behind the hotel," band member Liam Payne warned: "Please get out the fields there's a huge sign saying snake habitat it's just not worth it someone's gunna get hurt."
I need hardly tell you the young ladies were not deterred. "Are u not reading what I'm saying," ran his second, more irate tweet: "it's a SNAKE HABITAT TURN AROUND".
Oh Liam! Know thy fans. On average, only two people a year die from snakebites in Australia, whereas two death threats a minute seem to be issued by Directioners. A far more humane course of action would have been to contact Australian Wildlife Conservancy, and begged for emergency signage bearing the parseltongue for "1D FAN HABITAT". Those snakes never even stood a chance.
