Well, my boyfriend is the one who shared the video. He had found it somewhere else, and he labelled it (something like) "You silly kids with your shenanigans" or something. I don't remember... but that's why I clicked it even though the thumbnail was a snake... I loathe snakes. But anyway, I'm avoiding my point. After my son made me watch the video a second time, I commented on the video telling him how he (my son) found it funny and then asked about the tape... and he told me that the kids either A) left the tape on and left it to die or B) chopped its head off. He also made a point to tell me that he thought the snake was a water moccasin (sp). I have no idea if he told me that just to make me feel better or not. Either way, I felt bad for the snake after I thought about it. Sure, I found the joke sort of funny at first, but when I noticed the tape I was genuinely appalled. I didn't even notice the tape until the second viewing and that's why when my son asked to watch it again, I told him no. It pissed him off a little bit, but I found something much more child friendly after that.
