I'll submit the lyrics below. Who is this song referring to? Bill O'Reilly? Dobbs? Rivera? Murdoch? Murdoch's sons? Maybe it is Stephen Colbert. I think this song and video are great. I guess I see more into it since I worked as a reporter for so long.

Dancing Choose-TV on the Radio

he's a WHAT? he's a WHAT?
he's a newspaper man
and he gets his best ideas
from a newspaper stand;
from his boots to his pants
to his comments and his rants
he knows that any little article will do!

though he expresses some confusion
bout his part in the plan,
and he can't understand
that he's not in command;
the decisions underwritten
by the cash in his hand
bought a sweater for
his weimariner too

now i'm no mad man,
but that's insanity
feast before famine,
and more before family
goes and shows up with
more bowls and more
cups and the riot for the
last hot meal erupts
corrupts his hard drive
through the leanest months
shells out the hard cash
for the sickest stunts;
on aftershave, on gasoline
he flips the page and turns
the scene

in my mind i'm drowning butterflies
broken dreams and alibis;
that's fine.
i've seen my palette blown
to monochrome-
hollow heart
clicks hollowtone,
it's time.

eye on authority,
thumb prints a forgery
boy, ain't it crazy what the
lights can do
for counterfeit community;
every opportunity
wasted as the space
between the flash tattoo

and the half-hearted hologram,
posed for the party
now he gloss full bleed
on a deaf dumb tree
cod liver dollar signs,
credit card autograph
down for the record
but not for freedom

angry young mannequin
american, apparently
still to the rhythm
better get to the back of me
can't stand the vision,
better tongue the anatomy
gold plated overhead,
blank transparency
in the days of old,
you were a nut
now you need three bumps
before you cut
not that i should care about,
nothing i ain't scared of, but
i guess you had
to
be
there.

in my mind i'm breeding butterflies,
broken dreams, and alibis
that's fine.
i've seen my palette
blown to monochrome
hollow heart
clicks hollowtone
in time.

i see you figured in your action pose
foam-injected axl rose,
life size
should something shake you
and you drop the news,
lord, just keep your dancing shoes
off mine

I think that guy is getting a lot of bad press over a pretty harmless joke. It's almost Halloween, and he threw up some "scary" mannequins of some people in the Presidential race. What's the big deal? If he hung a dummy up that looked like Osama Bin Laden or Tom Cruise or something, no one would care. Being a presidential candidate doesn't make you better or more worthy of respect than anyone else. The fact that they are in the spot light means they have to learn to deal with people not liking them.

It's Halloween, It's funny, and if nothing else, it was a political statement. Take a deep breath, realize it doesn't matter, and get off the mans back.

A request of tolerance coming from someone who never shows any? You have to give to get.

What an insightful, highly relevant comment.

Oh, wait, no... you just pasted something unrelated about Palin in the first Palin video you saw...

How can anyone sit still during that song? I didn't even see a single toe tap. They must've been mannequins set up for a practice performance.

She was sporting a mannequin wig it looked like.

Yeah, what will the multi-Ethnic Kris Kringle do??......Not a goddamn thing different than any other plant......Can guarantee it will speed the demise of what what all thoughtful and hopeful desire for a future worth having, who want real change and cast votes for the mannequin mouth-puppet....

Oh! I get it then. He's some sort of mannequin come to life, and he abandoned his arms to avoid getting violated. I get it. I get jokes.

the music, the message... the use of mannequins. I loved that. thanks!

I think half of the mannequin's head was blown off along with his arm.

Um... maybe the mannequin would survive, but he wouldn't be happy, nor would he have working eyes, nose, throat, or ears.

total rofls at the kana-face one.

These are pretty creepy though. I think the best thing though would just be to put up a mannequin of Gackt. If that doesn't scare the crows off, I have no clue what will.

My 'remove from channel'-finger was itchin' at the start, but the parody finally kicked in and it made me laugh. Did he have a mannequin crotch stuffed in his pants?

Upvote for the way she moved the mannequin.
