Not That You'd See A Video on MTV or Anything....

[eggwards]

The Scissor Sisters are here to tell you that you're Filthy, and you're Gorgeous. The video, released in Europe shows that they are ready to let loose across the pond, but it probably won't see the light of day over here.

The clean version of the video I initially found online runs almost 4 minutes and is mildly censored. It is taken from a broadcast by Dutch music station TMF that bleeped out words like "acid" and "shit." There is also a couple of explicit (oral) sex scenes that were morphed to become unrecognizable (yes, that was even too racy for Dutch cable TV!)

Set in a New York East Village whorehouse, the video portrays pure debauchery with Jake Shears starring as a prostitute and Ana Matronic as his pimp.



Yes, that is Charlotte Rea, aka, Mrs. Garrett from the Facts of Life, making a cameo.

I'm shocked. I truly am. They bleeped out bastard?!? I mean, come on.

Hehehe, wunnerful stuff, this. :) I didn't see Charlotte Rea, but I had to bump in and out of seeing it 'cause I'm at work.

So.. what was up with the chubby ukelele serenade??

Actually, it makes me wonder who her agent is.

I don't know what they are doing, it's not like they have the FCC or anything (well, they have their own standards and such, of course).

Mrs. Garret's getting licked on by some boys...It's all a little strange, and needing more Babydaddy!
