The man meant what he meant.You mean he doesn't have the RIGHT to present a work of art that differs from your guys' perspectives?
Has he not the RIGHT to present a work of art without his peers saying, "I'm sure you didn't meant **that***?
You guys have a lot of "how abouts". Well how about you "allow" an artist his expression, even if his perspective or opinion differs from yours?
Or is there a new oppressive power looming in the Politically Correct universe? One that would crush free expression of those who's views differ?

Hey Frolove your set-up there, great sound too - I have to say that if I didnt know your work better, the stream of (Im guessing dead) soldiers appears to be a celebration of their lives and their choice to support the politics of war. I dont think you meant that? I think its a moving and relevant message, when one understands what you are trying to do, I feel that it may be misinterpreted however, and as Gareth pointed out, depictions of the casualties of war, must be predominately made up of those innocents that are being slaughtered needlessly by our governments, and not those "heros" (ironic exclamation points) who chose this killing career path.
Howabout a new video with faces from the "other side" Same song- same take even... identical in every way, apart from the faces? Now THAT would be an interesting couple of videos, that would surly go viral?
Keep up the videos Fro my bro.. you are a talented guy MarkOn Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 6:56 AM, Gareth Whittock <buddhamachine@live.co.uk> wrote:
Hi there Fro,I kept waiting for an afghani child's face to pop up there somewhere or maybe a rich oil baron. I found politically, it towed the official western line. I guess you're anti war but don't forget the innocent people whose lives have been ended or ruined by soldiers.
Slick arrangement though.
