I saw it on 120 minutes on MTV months ago. I remember being taking aback by it. (no easy feat) Great stuff.

rockin' in the free world, Peter

The Chemical Brothers (not a particular favorite of mind but I think this video is compelling enough to mention) have a released a "controversial" video that has apparently been banned by major video outlets because of its potential to offend. Ok, this video has at all--Che, revolution, cola, sexy people, and oh so many levels of meaning. Personally, I liked it. It's not quite Leftfield's "Africa Shox" (with the best visual metaphor for racism in America I have seen), but it's damn clever.
