ODERUS FOR PETA: NEVER BEFORE HAS A VIDEO MADE ME SO HAPPY AND SO SAD AT THE SAME TIME
The mighty Oderus Urungus from GWAR has released a new video on behalf of PETA, and I can pretty much guarantee that the thing is gonna leave you feeling like a schizophrenic. See, on the one had, Oderus — with some help from the other members of his band — is typically hilarious, and there are some parts of this video which are very, very funny.
Unfortunately, the rest of it consists of incredibly upsetting (and NSFW) footage of adorable animals being beaten to death, skinned, and otherwise treated like the subjects of a Cannibal Corpse song. As a metal fan I’m used to brutal imagery in my song lyrics, but that stuff is always, to some extent, hyperbolic and tongue-in-cheek; this is obviously not that at all. I mean after I watched this thing, I grabbed my dog, squeezed him tight, and wept for twenty minutes. It’s that kind of video.
So… fair warning.
