Aha! A New Nine Inch Nails Video . . .

OK, I know I complained about the blog videos in the past, but I got curious and clicked over to check out the website that hosts them . . . you know, to see what was there. Well, I came across the new Nine Inch Nails video for the song "Only." After watching it, I decided I had to share it with everyone because it reminded me of a music video from the '80s by Aha (sp.?). You know the one I'm talking about--unless you're too young to have seen it, let alone remember it.--it was "Take on Me." Obviously the music and sentiment share nothing in common, but the style and medium of the video have an interesting parallel. Both depict being trapped in an alternate plain of existence visible to and of physical reality, but seperated and sharply divided from it--the inner fantasy world juxtaposed and competing with reality.

Anyway, enjoy!

Here I was, all excited cuz there were five comments, and they were all Megan and the voices within her head . . .

. . . and they weren't even talking about the content of the post beacuse they couldn't get past the simple fact that there was a video.

. . . and something about taking over the world and clown bitches.

*shakes head in shame and disbelief*

Its too bad that you don't have the option to just have the video load, but you choose to play it or not, just because it seems I am hitting my browsers stop button more and more these days. Not that I am complaining, but I wonder why they have to auto start? Anyway, fun times...

I tried to rewrite the code to keep it from autostarting, but to no avail. Apparently, the autorun is part of the offsite-program to which the code links.

*sigh*

Oh well. Last time I use a video on my blog.

um... RUDE, Dr. Spectre... however, I will be more cautious of my remarks on your posts, if you find them so shameful and disbelieving...

I don't know much about NIN, or the A-ha video, but I think the video is pretty fun and funky... the autoplay function doesn't bother me so much since i plug my earphones into my computer and don't think about the sounds it's making unless i put the headphones on...

Boo bye now!

Sh!t L!st

Since I seemed to have ruffled someone's feathers enough by calling the Senator from Texas a bitch for not cosponsering an anti-lynching bill (which she later did retroactively, thus I removed the qualifier "supreme" from my insult), I thought I would make a list of all the assholes who've pissed me off, both politically and personally, some if not most of whom I will "disparage" at will. Just exercising my right to freedom of speech by voicing my opinion. I will not slander or libel anyone by making false accusations, but I will call people naughty names and rant and rave about things they've done or said, or things they should have done or said yet stayed mute. I am not politically correct, I do not kowtow to "Dear Leader" and his party of right-wing, affluent hooligans just because he happen to be president and let planes crash into buildings on his watch. I will criticize and insult him, anyone in his party, and anyone outside his party who...
