Have you read the guy's entry on the reptilian symbolism in Superman, largely to do with the logo?
Wow, isn't anyone safe? What's he going to write an article on next? Maybe that he woke up and realized that he was a snake himself?
I think we see snakes so much because they're dangerous, powerful, and a warning sign that most of us are led around by our unconscious a lot more than we should be. I don't believe that snake aliens run the show, rather that the snake alien dudes are actually us, and we need to start being more aware of our minds, then become more conscious. I'd post this in his blog, but to do that I'd have to make my own just to log in. I'd probably have to use another name instead of Sirius Anaconda if this guy is to pay any attention to what I say though, because he's probably too stressed to notice the joke.
So yeah, if you are actually at Barbelith Mr. Writer : we are the snake dudes aswell, and welcome to the reptile zoo.
Finally : Yes, it's possible that the Superman symbol could be getting a little snakey there, but couldn't that be representing his control over his unconscious? The snake-like S is inside the symbol, so it could be that Superman himself has mastered his inner snake and now uses that power for good, instead of walking around zombie-like and being controlled by it. The snake/power/unconscious is contained inside the outer part of the symbol, and there's no gap where it can get out.
If we were to have power over our unconscious and be able to focus that power, it could be possible that some of the things we'd be able to do would be pretty super-like. This could be part of that inspiration, and put there for some of us to see, namely those of us who aren't going all doom and gloom about a snake-cult.
