the video could be improved by;

- adding men for victim equality

- varying the states of undress

- evolving from boring to panic, preferably with vomit

- surprise ending

changing the music to ‘smack my bitch up’

If it was a video involving a guy driving through suburbia giving housewives orgasms with a wave of his hand, That would be interesting.

It’s always good to find someone (with impeccable taste, clearly) whose opinion mirrors your own…

I can’t speak for anybody else, but I’m not offended. I think the work is without merit and I suspect the creator has some serious issues with women that don’t speak well for his future happiness, but it takes a lot more than that to offend me.

I love it when I enter a thread on BB and find that someone has already said pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Thank you.

People need to lighten the fuck up and stop being offended by everything.

This is the story of my hometown, LeRoy N.Y., where young ladies are gripped with unexplained tics. The underwear is inexplicable too.

Reminded me of epileptic seizures, which I think was the point. After you’ve seen one or two you have no urge to see them, ever.

Decent band, terrible video, made me think of people having devastating stokes, couldn’t even watch more than 30 seconds.

This just plain sucked. The music’s boring and repetitive. The video somehow manages to be both violently misogynistic and boring. Banal – that’s the word.

Violent misogyny can be an effective technique (as can any painful subject) when you’ve got something to say. This doesn’t. It’s awfully tempting to psychoanalyse the creator here.

i kept waiting for the Rob Halford wannabe to break into Devo’s “Whip It” but it never happened. and while I usually like images of cute chicks in their underpants? this just made me feel old and disconnected. :P

Not that I think this is terrible connected to Rush Limbaugh, except in the misogyny department, but I’m pretty used to misogyny only being bad when the other guys are doing it. Of course, this seems to be true with a lot of “-ism”s

I guess I can understand why the video isn’t getting much love, but I will say unequivocally that HWGM is one of my all time favorite bands, and one of the best of the last few years (in my opinion, obviously)… both live and recorded. I don’t think this song is necessarily representative of their style, so I would recommend giving another listen to any of their full albums. Luke Temple’s solo work is amazing, too. I can’t wait for the new album, and to see them again live in May.

I believe I saw that movie on late night Cinemax back in the mid 90′s. But the guy involved was abducted by aliens and given the power. Plus the women seemed to enjoy it a lot more than the ones in this video.

So this is OK (and noteworthy on BB) if some hipster-darling “artist” graphically depicts it, but reprehensible if a talk radio blowhard *talks* about it? Major double standard thing going on here.

This is a video depicting government-funded contraception? Wow! Who would have thunk it!

But yea, it involves women, so it must be the same.

Pretty silly. I recommend some of this instead. Tank Riot approved!

It needed to become progressively more creepy David Cronenberg style, like with frothing at the mouth (which is quite amazing if you’ve ever seen it happen).

I don’t care for the video, and the music reminds me of Steely Dan meets Oingo Boingo. I think I’d rather listen to either than this.
