It has a currency created by the band themselves. As well as the kudos and credibility, this opportunity represents immense exposure for the band. They will ultimately make money from it. Art be buggered, they've hit on a cash trigger and then they hide behind 'artistic statement'. Cheap.

I agree wholeheartedly with your point that there is no real cause and effect relationship between violence in media and violence in real life. Unfortunately it's an easy correlation to make and the media is a much easier problem to manage than dealing with the apathetic, nihilistic path our society has chosen. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that this video doesn't ooze both nihilism and apathy, but like most art, it's a relflection of society and not the other way around. It's kind of like shooting the messenger really.... do gooders can pat themselves on the back for combatting the ultimite evil of generic french house producers while turning a blind eye to the real problems of the world. I mean watch one of the many videos online of captured kid solidiers in Iraq and afganastan being shot and decaptitated and then tell me what's fucking our kids up... and I'll spare you the rest of the rant...... I do really like this video but it hasn't blown my mind in any way. I think it's because I already had come to daddy in my head when I watched it (which incidently I now also get confused with the mighty boosh episode 'nannagoon') But points for the concept, dead eyse and the bit where they kick "D.A.N.C.E." out of the car stereo. sorry if any typos... dodgey keyboard and no spell check.

Very disturbing and yet thought-provoking as well. For a second there, I was like, are these dudes acting?! Super realistic and super STRESSFUL! Kudos for posting and standing up for your opinion.

This video has liberated my life :P (I spit like Kate Winslet in Titanic though so it didn't have the same effect!) Why did you not decorate your house in epilepsy inducing strobe lights after seeing the WOW video? I did and now i feel like you are judging me :P And i hope you are feeling better!!!!!
