War, Hunh, This Is What It Is Good For I'm all for peace and stuff, but I'm also all for waging war on whoever made this. I love the smell of dropping napalm on whoever made that this morning.

He looks like the lovechild of Morgan Freeman and Max Headroom.

This latest brainchild of the internet is best encapsulated by the French expression je sais bien, mais quand même (I know very well that it can happen, but just the same...).

Maybe they can get the severed head of John the Baptist to sing lead vocals.

If this video intends to show how music can bring people together in peace, it's kind of pointless to have people who would probably get along anyway. Where's Hitler and John Wilkes Booth?

Did anyone else feel the urge to run into the video and kick Mother Teresa in the balls?
Oh, good. I'm glad I'm not alone on this.

Take it, Mother T, for your bullshit two second bass solo! You know, as a bass player myself, that was entirely expected. It all started with that fucking That Thing You Do movie, where the bass player was named T.B. Player. Fucking Hollywood, always putting us down! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to put three metric tons of gel in my hair, make it spike in random places, and back up TaySwift. Lates!

An ex-boyfriend of mine plays bass. I saw how he suffered, all hardworking yet unappreciated by fans of the band; it was ridiculous. How about some validation from an internet stranger: You are a legitimate musician whose contributions matter!!

The real disturbing footage is in the outtakes when the studio lights become too hot and their faces all start melting.

You can tell a good band from a band with just a good song right away by the quality of the bass player. But yeah, the bass player always gets a bad rap.

I just want whoever made that to know that it was a complete waste of time. All that effort invested and one could have had a similar impact by using a webcam to film Oreos and donuts being stacked on top of each other in an alternating pattern with Chumbawumba playing in the background. In fact, my idea of donut/oreo stacking to Chumbawumba would be FAR less creepy and offensive and yet make just as much of a relevant and topical statement.

That made me want to give peace less of a chance. It looked like the three most prominent champions of peace tried to steal honey from a bee hive, grizzly bear style.
