What are people thinking? 

Anyone with common sense knows that you're taking a huge risk when you play with snakes.

I understand the singer was offered the antidote and refused to take it.

Sounds like a lot of silliness to me.   

What do you think?

Are you serious?  What kind of nut would go on stage with a live cobra?  Did they say why he wouldn't take any antidote!

[aflyingmonkey]

Darwin Award Winner for sure... but if she didn't take the antidote, perhaps she had a death wish & it was suicide.

[snuggleycutejc]

...the snake dance...sang afterwards...king cobra

"Was offered the antidote and refused to take it.".................

Wow, that's really silly of em. I guess showmanship was more important than their LIFE. 

[bremer51]

She was really willing to die for this one moment?  It will make a big splash in the media, then people will forget and move on.  A terrible terrible waste.

[cwillard1]

Very strange news story.  Wondering what was behind all of it.

[metsrock69]

Just like jake the snake said one time. I'm a snake, never trust a snake.

[autumnsparklemom]

This is crazy.

[debidoo]

Absolutely crazy way to die.  What a waste.  People take such extreme chances with their life and think they have it all under control.  Sad.

[luvh8tragedy87]

Sad way to go. Especially if he was offered the antidote and chose not to take it. Sounds like he had a death wish.

"Death Wish" much?  Especially after being offered an antidote and NOT taking it?  Whatever!  I don't even know why news outlets take up space with these stupid people.

[vickysue]

i feel  that anyone doing a dance with a snake that can kill you is stupid. And maybe they have a death wish. A wild animal is never going to be tame and will at some time or another  get you.

[countrygirl12]

I think he is an idiot.  You really can't fix stupid.

[Penwoir]

Yes, that really is stupid! When so many people in the world are dying from hunger, fighting cancer and third world countries do not have enough clean water to drink, someone takes a cobra on stage and dies after being bitten! It's giving your life away, really! I kind of get that this person wanted his/her audience to be entertained and they really gave their all to the performance, but to refuse the antidote? I don't get it.
