I get angry about banning stuff like this.. They blow stuff up, big deal. If Amicans dont wanna show the world what you are doing to Iraq, ban the news aswell.. Well, maybe not YOUR news, being how USA thinks they are the best and all, you dont want to admit mistakes, but the real world (se: rest of the world) knows what you guys are, warhungry f**ers who think people dont die in war, only forigners.

Exellent video editing (example: family + nuke)
Nice sleepy music also.

Thumbs up... I agree with "grr"
Pessimisten (guest) - November 24, 2006, 15:52
Damn grr, I was almost over usa. Now you got me pissed again. :/ Kind of irrelevant to the video, but true.. The video sucked btw. (maybe that's actually why it was banned? ^^)
Uhm...it's obvious (guest) - November 24, 2006, 17:52
Im pretty sure they didn't ban in because "it sucked". It's clearly a protest to the iraq war. Which kinda goes against freedom of speech. I knooooow MTV has the right to ban it. But there is something call svepskäl in swedish look it up.

Good video that makes you think.
Niko_Tin (guest) - November 25, 2006, 13:18
The video is great. It's meaning is expressed very well and it looks really good. Banning this is against the freedom of opinion.
navysealltblue - November 25, 2006, 14:30
He has the ability to express himself freely. Just because the company chooses not to show his opinion, doesn't mean his freedom of speech is violated Niko_Tin. His freedom of speech would be violated if he wasn't allowed to ever do the song again lol. I thought this was a stupid video. I understand the point that was supposed to be made. Didn't care for the music or the video though.

MTV SUCKS
Betel (guest) - November 25, 2006, 21:50
I'm guessing MTV is afraid of beeing too "controversial", ironic that MTV is giving out the Free Your Mind award. I get angry when stuff like this gets banned, because so many children get too see this stuff IRL.
swede (guest) - November 25, 2006, 23:24
hippies fucking sucks.

fooshooby (guest) - November 26, 2006, 13:05
scene that scared me most was the last scene. some guy just watches a bomb go off on TV and BAM the army invades his home as if he was a threat of some kind all of a sudden. that's the politics of the US atm. invading the privacy of the population, based on paranoia. I dont get why a supposedly free media like MTV would ban it though. touchy lobbyists, anyone?
There is (guest) - November 26, 2006, 13:33
no need to ban this one ... I don't see what MTV is afraid of..
doo (guest) - November 26, 2006, 20:37
that's why MTV sucks ass..
Deleted0001 - November 26, 2006, 21:00
The government has obviously paid MTV or something to ban this "American hostile" video.
ranting_swede - November 27, 2006, 01:07

ranting_swede - November 27, 2006, 01:09

ranting_swede - November 27, 2006, 01:12

OH EM GEE (guest) - November 28, 2006, 04:05
So erm; who's done more killing? us or the people fighting in their own civil war / suicide bombers / terrorists? Cuz damn, lately it's nothing compared to vietnam ~ get your numbers and facts straight ; Not that what we're doing is right.. but stop blowing it out of proportion - We got Iran and North Korea to deal with next ; get ready for the 'real' reason to protest ~ Hippies...
swede number 6 (guest) - November 28, 2006, 20:47
this aint buzz u fools...
Yeah... (guest) - November 29, 2006, 10:19
Liked the song & video. Makes you think. I saw this video from Finlands MTV today... I liked it.
I think the next stage in the loss of Freedom of Speech in the US is that MTV itself will be banned. Their banning this video is just an attempt to delay the inevitable. Moukat

Gee, navysealltblue, I wonder why you don't like the song....
Please enthrall us with a tale of honor and valor.
Niedec (guest) - January 30, 2007, 07:22
I think they banned the song because it just wasn't worth it to them. It's not exactly a chart-topper, so it'd get way more lawsuits on MTV's part than fame. If it had actual been something that could've made money and the network would have benefited from, it probably would have been a whole different story.

Military personel will never understand how real it may someday be that we may find ourelves in this position. Military of all branches will do what they are ordered to do. And just because I don't wanna strap on a uniform and play the "will kill for an education" game, doesn't make me a hippie thanks. I'm a living person of neutral intension. My life is my own. This shit is a scary thought but at least some artist had the balls to put it up there. MTV sold out a long time ago and is nothing more than a nother media vent used to promote bad reality tv and "Free thinking" behavior. All the while they count their millions, pay their dues and play teh bitch of corporate america's will.
dude74 (guest) - August 16, 2007, 18:36
anti-sheep you are totally right. awesome post.
anyone who thinks the video or music sucks -- I don't agree with your taste!! if you don't "get it", my opinion is you are probably immature and/or sheltered and don't understand the seriousness of what's going on the world, the lack of courage in the media to communicate that seriousness, and the neccessity of art to express dissent.
I'm in my 30's and I'm pretty disgusted at the apathy of younger people today.
Patrik (guest) - September 7, 2007, 20:14
Anti-sheep, you are my hero.
Awesome post indeed.
mord50 - October 26, 2007, 05:25
