Don't tell me it's a worthy cause. No cause could be so worthy.
Monday, April 3rd, 2006 04:10 pmsubversively brilliant or offensively trite: YOU DECIDE.
(p.s.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spr0cket, you may want to skip this entry.)
So I'm watching this video of this really catchy song that's just come out, and uh...
I know we're all post-post irony and all that, but I honestly can't decide whether this video is subversively brilliant and honest or upsettingly trite and demeaning.
The song is Narina Pallot - Everybody's Gone to War, and I felt like the song was a sad and pointed look at where war has led us.
( lyrics follow )
Okay, so for the video?
People start a war in the grocery store, garrotting each other with celery and spraying bullets of orange soda from pop bottles and throwing pineapples like grenades. Pies blow up. Flour detonates.
