Faithless - BOMBS

Music video that mixes every day life shots with war clips.

Was recently pulled from MTV, I am not sure why...

I really like it.

I believe the "negative" connotation on the "American" Military would by why they would pull the video.

Here's the lyrics, for those who care: http://www.findlyrics.com/faithless/bombs.  To me, this is a song explaining how blowing up kids and wives in their homes is causing insurgents' ranks to swell.  Obviously reinforced by the scene of the missile streaking in and exploding something in the background.  To me it seems like it's trying to be a social statement, but I find it lacks real substance.  I mean, we can see all this stuff just by watching CNN.

No, because the strength of a deadbolt actually lies in the strength of the door and the strength of the door frame.  When you break down a door, it's usually the door frame that broke - the deadbolt won't be damaged at all.
Prayin' for a 20!

Also search for "The Saints Are Coming" on Youtube -- similar theme, but a bit more controversial... It has almost 2 MILLION views (!) but also like 7000 comments :o so you know there's a lot of people who take issue with the whole "Hey Sarge, I'm not so sure about what we're doing here..." attitude.
