I made it to 1:30. That video is not safe for someone prone to a seizure.

I liked the gimmick, couldn't handle the music. If ya jump through the vid it's actually pretty cool. At least I think so.

I tried, I really did. I kept hoping there was going to be something worth staying for. I watched until my endurance and patience were both exhausted. Then I scratched out my eyes and shoved pencils through my eardrums in an attempt to eradicate what I'd seen. This all took place in a span of well under 30 seconds...

Is this Estonia's entry in the Eurovison Song Contest? Because I've vote for that over ABBA any day.

Brownface dude was annoying, and the mic rigs that looked like some sort of S&M dildo masks completed the assault.

I like how the music remains completely unchanged even when the "musicians" aren't even playing their instruments.

But the wierdest thing? All the motionless people watching this thing in their seats. I mean, running for the exit or spazzing in a mosh pit, I could understand. But this? Maybe they're all corpses.

I couldn't understand the lyrics. Was that in a FUR'N language?


Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week...
