MGMT - Kids. See it before it gets complaints

[The Curmudgeon]

Because mark my words, in our oh-so-simple world (well, the UK at least), I can almost guarantee this video will get complaints because of the kid crying.

Anyway, if you've never heard of MGMT, they're an American band that became THE "cool" band to namedrop. Me and Mrs C saw them twice last year (there's a photo on the "I Can See You" thread) and they're ace. Well, "Kids" was fucking everywhere a few months ago in the UK, and now they've finally made a video for it. And it's very cool indeed - but I just know it'll upset some people..

Well, I feel like a complete asshole for laughing at the poor little guy.

Two possible ways that kid's experience making that video will affect him in the future:

A) He'll grow up with an irreparable phobia of monsters and the like, lead a quiet life from an early age and end up spending the rest of his days working in a cubicle until the company decides to make cutbacks two days away from his retirement with a full pension.

B) He'll grow up with a built-in fascination with monsters and the like, delve into the world of horror, sci-fi and creature features and one day end up posting on this message board, only to stumble upon this ancient thread, see that video again and experience shellshocked flashbacks.

Either way that video (and song) is awesome.
