Make up your mind ! You like the music but hate the imagery ?? Well err, isn't
the music merely describing the imagery, or do you somehow feel protected
because you rely on your own imagination .... hmmm. If its the videos you
dislike, then surely focus your attention on their directors, or band
management, not the artist who only has a part stake in the collective result.

Besides, all this about shock & disgust seems a bit tame when you consider
what's actually going in the Real World. I mean any of the UK people see
Dispatches on Channel 4 last night about massacres in Algeria :-{ ? Those
kind of pictures shut you up whether you've been "tainted" by a NIN video or
not.
