    Little man thinks all men are monsters, momma must had brought home too many bad ones.

    I wish I was five again.

    Good song. Video is great starting at 4:19.

    pretty cool concept and message, i think. though it may seem wrong and evil doing towards the featured baby, i'm sure the video was shot in a controlled environment while the real parents stood right outside the shooting frame.

    i'm not sure about children's psychology, but how does a child so young differentiate scary from not? for instance, children react differently to clowns, puppies, aunts, strangers, etc. if you had the colorful & shapely cast from yo gabba gabba! yelling on kids, making sharp, abrasive noises, etc. then it would be a different reaction than normal. i think it's a matter of context.

    cute kid. cool idea. was that rat fink that rode up next to them in the car?

    as a side note, i've been to MGMT show and seen scarier people.

    Child exploitation. Period.

    I'm sure there will be people who think it's fine, or not a big deal, but none will come up with a good enough rationalization for this.

  • The animation at the end looks like the same stuff as Superjail.

    Can anyone confirm?

    I dunno if you can really call child exploitation on this. I mean, babies and kids have been in all kinds of effed up movies and stuff for a long time nowadays.

    It is kinda disturbing in the beginning with the claws coming in the crib and stuff though. The video for Time To Pretend is kinda ill too, it references the movie The Holy Mountain like whoa.

    At least these guys are doing some creative stuff with their videos rather than a bunch of hipsters in a club with a flashlight.

    somewhere between faith no more's video with the goldfish and neverland ranch...

    i'd be pissed if it were my kid, but I have the feeling whoever's in charge of him right now would've pimped him out to something else anyways...

    disturbing video, I guess that means it's "art."
