Throwing away broken electronics (video)

Eric Steuer tells BB,

Meanest Man Contest has a new video out. It's for our song "Throwing Away Broken Electronics" and you can see it here: YT video Link. The video was directed by the amazing Greg Tuzin of *ontheflyfilms. Check out his work here. You can download an mp3 of the song here. And you can pick up a copy of the single here.

yeah, like I'm going to take advice from someone who has hyper-sexualized, faceless women gyrating around him at all times.You can remake this video with nude, well-endowed male soccer players with cardboard boom-boxes over their heads and then MAYBE we cool.

Those are the sexiest boom-boxes I've ever seen.

@HOM: I presume it's CC licensed so if you can get the nude, well-endowed male soccer players I'm sure we can all chip in and make you some cardboard boom-boxes. Let me know.

I know what I know and that's that I'm just being honest.

This video is PURE AWESOME. Period. Saying it should be something else is like saying chocolate cake should be a tofu salad.

CRT monitors for TVs and computers contain up to 8 pounds of lead (a neurotoxin), circuit boards contain lead and mercury (linked to brain and kidney damage), and motherboards contain beryllium (causes lung cancer), according to this interactive graphic on National Geo's website (where I work): http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/2008-01/high-tech-trash/computer-interactive.html

I hope nobody was hurt in the making of this video!

I don't know, Xeni, I think Kid Rock might finally have ruined the whole headless woman in a bikini thing for me back in the 90s.

And it's not that I'm really craving tofu dog salad, but just that there's a little too much chocolate cake out there, clogging everyone's arteries.

What an amazing track! Thanks, Xeni! It's funny, but when I heard this track I immediately thought of RU Sirius' old podcast and all the great music it turned me on to. A compliment to your fine taste. More please!

I cannot endorse this video. That's not how you should properly dispose of electronics.

Rather then gyrating around and smashing them, you should take them to your local electronics disposal center (like Best Buys) or donate them.

For more on the matter, Check with the US EPA.

But seriously, that was hot.

"Now that has production value!"

Hip Hop is boring. Some of the sampleuction there is interesting, but not something i'd listen to more than once. However, there are parts of that video that I'd like to remix with some extreme heavy metal instrumentals. Specifically the parts where girls in their underwear wield sledgehammers and tubes explode.
