Badness on the Web - #4

This happens to be really, really bad. Like awful. Like, I want my money back... and I watched it for free... just bad.

Anyway, without further ado, please join me in witnessing the horror that is:
Thanks To Our Friends by Blind Sensation. Now, if the waves of, "mmm, what's that taste? Could that be the worst song from a German band since the Scorpions stopped 'Rocking Me Like a Hurricane?" are done sweeping over you like a tsunami, let's add to it the band name*. Is it cool to make fun of the disabled? No? Yeah, but what if they're German? No, not just German, but Bavarian? Oh, okay, sure, why didn't ya say so?!

The shame (or, if you wanna join the Eigo family picnic in jigoku, irony) of this video is that it is visually very attractive. The story is a bit muddled (and I gave-up because of the music), but the shots are composed well and it is interesting to look at... it might be worth a try w/no sound on... but not now. Note to self- enough making fun of former Axis powers... Achtung baby.

*According to the note on the linked page, 3 of the four band members are visually impaired. What the note doesn't say is that the singer must have developed a rare but deadly allergy to harmony, pitch and timbre. I can't sing a lick but can hear bad, and cousin bidness is a boomin' with this.
