    Hmm, I'm getting 250Kb/s+ on the torrent.

    :edit:
    Eww, I can't beleive I helped spread liberal propoganda. Torrent stoped k thanx bye.

    WTH was that? Yes, we all know that the USA wants to bomb Luxemborg and likes to declair war. Evil guitar playing Luxemborg must die!

    I can't put into words how disgusted I am with that video. Just die.

    Maybe next time warn me what it is. I'm disgusted that people actually think like this...

    And who the **** uses bittorrent to get publicity? Like seriously, WTH!?!? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    /me unchecks Caboose from the list of cool people






    **edit**

    Caboose, it's a music video. it's a form of expression, it's not like you spew fire and die when you read something that disagrees with your personal views. if you didn't like it you didn't like it, but you don't have to call it "propaganda".. jeez... mellow out man. [/hippy]

    It's being distributed on bittorrent, that must mean it's important. Certainly, it's not getting all this attention because of some wacky Wired News editors and special-interest bloggers.

    And if I ever install the necessary codecs on my comp, I will watch it.

    so.... Zig.. you came into the thread, read the posts, and decided to post yourself about how you're not going to watch it... in quite a condescending manner as well.


    i feel violated.


    come on guys it's just a MUSIC VIDEO. and grok, it's getting the attention from wired news and such because the band is taking an alternative approach. or.. something. just watch the damn thing you lazy bastards.

    Cant wait for TD new LP.

    They got into pitchfork's Best New Music. Check it <a href='http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/best/' target='_blank'>out</a>.

    And yes, some ppl do need to lighten up and see these works of art in a differnt light. Its amusing to read their reactions...so exaggerated.

    ~shrug~ pretty 'normal' music and the video was semi-entertaining. Nothing to rave about but not really something to get angry over either :p

    I hate hippies and make fun of anti-war protestors. I think I will not watch this video, especially because I've never had any luck using BT.

    GG wuss rock.

    I hate hippies too. Can't pass by a parkbench these days without it being occupied by two of them having wild monkey sex. GET OFF MY LAWN YOU CRAZY PEOPLE! AND TAKE YOUR RAINBOW-COLORED VW-MINIBUSES WITH YOU!

    Oh. What a great post the 2000th. <insert e-wang pimpage>

    Thank you Gem for bothering to download it and watch it and post your opinion, unlike some lazy buggers. i'm not naming names here... Illuminex!
