Well, I'm sure we all just saw Alternative Nation, and I am confused. 
Apparently I suck (regarding the above post I made).  According to what Tori  
said the video is about "rituals"?  I don't really get it anymore.  I thought
I understood the song, and it was based on/agreed with everything Tori has
said in interviews up until now.  

But it would seem that the "dancing with snakes" ritual-thing is actually
what goes on in the video.  (BTW, for those who didn't see it, she talked
about religious rituals in India involving letting rats crawl on you, and 
nothing about the snakes-I'm assuming this).  Hmmm.....has anyone figured 
this out?


Also, I've never had anything against Kennedy before, but this time she
REALLY sucked.  What was that crap she kept saying?  Tori would say
something, and Kennedy would get off on a joke it reminds her of, or
an (unrelated) personal experience.  And she hardly REALLY talked with her
at all.  She kept saying "oh, after this we'll talk about x1 and x2 and x3"
etc. etc. but she hardly discussed anything.  Also, Kennedy came off as
stupid or something.  I was kind of disappointed, but of course Tori was 
in it, so it was still awesome.
