Strange though I didnt have a problem watching some bits eg. the more war based footage I felt people had a right to see, yet felt disturbed by the inculsion of eg the bus going on its side and some other shots
fucking hell!!! the bit with the guy having his arms ripped off an the twat shooting the woman in the street were the worst!!
other than that the rest was just stuff... an the song was cool, not heard that one before...
I've seen most of these already. It's pretty damn funny that things appeared to start out political, and maybe relevant, but once they ran out of material they threw in the bottle kid and the exploding whale. A few of these are well known fakes, too.

Thank god those people were killed so we can see to make us better people.
You DO know that that is not at all what we're saying right? Tell me you know that....Point is that it DOES happen. People need to be aware of it happening. So that maybe more people can help it to stop happening. (And I mean the senseless poilitical killings and torture---stick your head in a crocodile's mouth all you want--if he bites your head off, I don't care)
Say what you like about what you took from it, etc. it was essentially put together by someone who was all the time thinking "cool". And the political stuff is ridiculously contrived in a Michael Moore fashion.
Personally I feel a little ill, as I always do from this stuff.
Yep. That was pretty bad.... not that it's any consolation... but the girl in the pink getting shot in the head is fake... Granted The Imagery.. is very graffic.. But it fit's into the song, How ever I doubt that a band that did a album covering alot of madonna's songs would make something that shocking, Most of those are clips found easy on the net I assume...and edited to fit ww3, But if there message was to get people to stop thinking about, there car payment, what's playing on there Ipod, even to stop looking at SG's for a moment.. and see that mankind can be scarier then anything that hollywood can come up with.. that video.. makes Sin City seem like an episode of Happy tree friends.. , ... but the human race, is capable, of beautiful things, like patiences,kindness,art,music,poetry, and most of all Love......... yet. we can be twisted to the other end of the spectrum.... sad.. but i think that video was made as a reminder, and a good quote that fits into this would be Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.- Dylan Thomas Because would should not allow things within our power like that to happen....
Wow I haven't heard that Dylan Thomas quote since high school I don't think! Makes me want to read it again...And yeah, I see everyone's point mostly. I know KMFDM did not make this video, it was some internet nerd so, that makes sense. I thought that scene with the girl must be fake because the angle of the gun would have made the bullet barely graze her head. I asked my roomate how that shot could possibly kill anyone. Anyway, it was scary to me, but at the same time, after a second viewing it didn't seem nearly as bad

I'm used to violence... and accident's.... the thing that bothered me the most was the person who jumped/fell from the WTC....

Yeah....I have to say though, a person jumping out of a burning skyscraper has fucking balls. And seeing that is god awful, but in a sense it's almost liberating. Like I'm gonna die, so I'm going to do it in the most freeing way possible. It's heart wrenching and yet---something else asw ell. I can't describe it. My heart falls apart when I see someone getting their throat cut or anything else of that nature. THAT is what gets to me the most.
