Smack My Bitch Up

I was just browsing around a little bit at YouTube.com and found a video, which I remembered well from a couple of years ago. Its a video from the British band "The Prodigy". They have a tendency to create controversy with their music and their videos, some might even say "crazy", but what means crazy in this day and age?

I like a number of songs from The Prodigy, among my favorites are "Firestarter", "Narayan", "No Good", "Out of Space" and "Breathe" ... and this one...

Be warned, this video was even "too much" for the much more open European TV stations. MTV Europe had to take it off the air because of massive numbers of complaints by concerned parents and organizations. I think that taking it off the air was not a good decision. The video was not glorifying abuse and violence. I would say that it did exactly the opposite.

I don't think that anybody with a single functional brain cell left would be encouraged to mimic the behavior shown in the video. It is not an unrealistic depiction of things as it is often done in Hollywood movies. People that behave like this do exist and the video shows very realistically all the "fun" and "ugly" aspects of this.
