1. They still make those?

Something of a buggy whip industry, innit?

2. That's pretty much what all pop music videos look like now days isn't it?
All image no substance.

14. Well...
In the whole MTV-era of music, I can only think of a handful of videos that actually had substance. So even though you're right that current videos are "all image no substance," that's exactly how they've looked for decades.

3. In a way, it's an excellent video
In that it truly captures the song.

Of course, since the song is horrible and mindless, the video is a perfect match!

6. Wow...
that strobe background might warrant an epilepsy warning, the video is crap and the song sucks. Bravo. You've possibly found the worst few minutes of film ever shot and released to public viewing.

7. Silence. Chuggo demands you retract your statement immediately.
Otherwise, you will find yourself with a sign on your back that says "I can't rap." And you don't want that. Nor do you want to be locked out of the October leafing tour in Vermont with the Lakeshore Stranglaz.

8. I watched all 279 seconds of that
It is remarkable in how seamless a production it is. It continued to find completely unexpected ways to offend and suck at the same time.

don't tell Chuggo I said this.

The piano in the background was nice.

15. I wasn't sure how the cross and the roses figured into his world vision simultaneously
but Samwell brought it all together in the end

17. SOmeone called her "Lady Caca".
I'm inclined to agree; that was caca.

19. I find this one incredibly douchebaggy, as well. Kid Rock's "All Summer Long."

24. The other videos are just boring and/or stupid.
Edited on Mon Apr-06-09 02:10 PM by Doc_Technical
This is nothing but a no talent rip off of
Werewolves of London and Sweet home Alabama.

30. That's at least as good as the Lady Gaga video.
Although the dancing expertise was about equal.
