Going through iTunes videos to use up a gift card I got for Christmas, and noticed a disturbing* trend in Rammstein's videos.

EDIT: To be fair, I was drunk at the time.

There are few things I find more amusing than people claiming that was the first rap song, even noting that's where rap got it's name, when the song talks about some of the originators of rap.

She must see into the FUTURE to have known about them. Must have been the martian that ate her head.
