http://www.alternet.org/video-eminem-ice-cube-and-korn-team-anonymous-call-global-revolutionThe word "epic" long ago lost all its linguistic potency when Burger King and Hot Topic began to use it in the advertisement of their products. Yet if ever if there was an occasion to resurrect the term, it would be to describe the music video released today by elements of Anonymous along with Ice Cube, Eminem, and Korn.
The team produced a nuance-eschewing, face-melting, testosterone-charged collaboration meant to incept a massive wave of action against the seemingly indomitable power of corporatist-totalitarianism within the world's leading liberal republics.
The video features some hilarious spots of Rob Ford--perhaps the Western world's most flamboyant symbol of transparent corpo-political stoogism--as well as the mainstream media's two favorite underaged tools of distraction, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. There are also a number of clips of Obama surrounded by surveillance cameras, implying that the spying-industrial-complex is an apolitical institution supported and grown by whichevever political party is in office.
Ice Cube, Eminem and Korn hit the peak of their musical careers within the mainstream musical establishment over a decade ago, which probably engenders them with a degree of freedom to partake in such an overtly political project.
