Nine Inch Nails will not be appearing on the MTV Movie Awards. MTV objected to using a “straightforward, unmolested image” of George as a backdrop for their performance of a single released on April 18th in UK/Europe but not in North America.
The Hand That Feeds video can be seen here [3_17_05], the song goads consumers into getting up off their knees and telling the gov’t to fuck off. Yards more engaging than Eminen’s Mosh which pandered to the ABB crowd, and why MTV’s run scared from the performance, citing its “partisan political” nature. MTV has been a shameless corporate whore for years, gleefully grinding young brains into worm meal pudding, profitting from the compost. Too bad the showdown isn’t over a video backdrop of worthless, complicit Democrats servicing Bushazoids, a point the lyrics deliver, but now has an anemic pulse and should be rescued.
