Darwin Award Winner

From Fox News, we have a Darwin Award winner. First, some background:

Irma Bule, 29, was famous for wearing snakes during her acts and thought the king cobra had been defanged. 
...The pop star was performing in the village in Karawang, West Java, in her native Indonesia.
She accidentally trod on the cobra, named Rianti, and it lashed out, sinking its fangs into her leg. 
Not the end of the world yet. Get treatment quickly, and even cobra bites are treatable, especially for a 29 year old woman.

This is where the story gets deadly stupid. After refusing treatment from a snake handler on the set, she decides to perform for the next 45 minutes...before vomiting and having a seizure. You know the rest of the story: She was rushed to a hospital, where she was removed from the gene pool.

As they say, the show must go on! But not for Irma Bule...
