ARMA-GODDAMN MOTHER FUCKING GEDDON
Synopsis:
In a video that alludes to past era's, Manson is seen for the most part in three distinct scenes - the Portrait/Smells Like Children 'Willy Wonka' look with flames as a backdrop, standing at a podium reminiscent of Antichrist Superstar except for the shock symbol now replaced by a dollar sign and thirdly, the 'hooded' Manson as has been seen many times during the High End Of Low era. He is also sen surrounded by picket sign holders and other shots are intermitent images of the band playing, although never fully on but glimpses.
Seen more as a capitulation to the record compant, two videos were released - in the first instance NME.com premiered a censored version on May 14 and later that day the official Marilyn Manson website hosted an uncensored version. This came after a mix up with UK network Channel 4 who had previously scheduled the video for premiere in mid April but curiously dropped it from the schedules, first citing that the video had not made it to their offices and then saying that the video would not be shown on their channel at anytime.
Director Delaney Bishop is a photgrapher and filmamker who's previous orks include the twenty minute short the Death Of Salvador Dali which featured Marilyn Manson's ex wife Dita Von Teese in a role that saw her win Best Actress in the 2006 Beverley Film Festival Awards.
