This film featured in another thread earlier this week. I just thought people might want to know just what's going on.

>>First and foremost before you watch this clip: Yes, we think that there's something very fundamentally wrong with exposing a baby to deadly snakes. Before you get outraged by this bizarre clip, here's the story behind it ... apparently it's a snake-charming rite of passage in India, where the baby is supposed to battle the cobra. For the child's safety, the mouth of the reptile is stitched shut and its fangs are removed (and the whole thing has animal rights groups in a tizzy). Any way you slice it, this looks very scary to us.
