Nah, it seams to me that everyone in the video gets abused, regardless of their sex, especially the dj (and the turntables)! My only problem is, day before last, sitting around getting stoned, a friend fresh in from london described the whole video, in graphic detail. Then last night, MTV finally premiered it (with a nasty disclaimer no less!) and it wasn't nearly as good as my his description! I was expecting lines of coke flying into the camera and stuff like that! They have some cool effects, like the shaking bits and what they did with the music (level, eq, effects, etc) to follow the environment being shown was tres dope. Overall, I though it was an ok video, but can see some problems arising from it. First off, it's hands down the raciest thing mtv's ever shown. Full frontal nudity, booze, drugs and that wierd techno stuff. It's going to scare a lot of people, especially parents. Fuck'em... word out, brock np: Bionic Harmonic - 'I'd love to turn you on'
