I totally approve.

uhohzombies has fixed this video's dead embed code - no star awarded because uhohzombies was awarded too recently.

Ugh, I put the wrong embed code in. The width/height should say: width="480" height="390" as opposed to what's there now (if anyone is able to fix that)

Watching this vid makes me think, "gee, rock music video director, now there's a fun career choice." The absolutely random-seeming pans and zooms - oh it's just another random empty warehouse video. With a big red screen. And what's this? A riot cop? Is he bringing friends? Oh dear yes. Followed by more panning and such. Where's ths going? IT DOESN'T MATTER! Because the Foo rock.

Oh no, run Dave, run!

Ah, he has an ace up his sleeve. The magic red wall was more than just a big piece of abstract art. It was... a giant resvoir of tomato soup? Cow blood? Whatever - awesome.

Awesome indeed, so why did smibbo vote against this one?
