Putting gay in the title is sure to attract Marty.
It be interesting to have the point of view of Languish's gay clan ;)

Link to the video clip


The videoclip is about a young gay suffering intimidation at school, and everyone's blindness to it.  It ends with the boy being crucified, with blood&all that.

France wants to restrict viewing of the clip to 16 years old at least, maybe even 18 year old.
I think 16yo is appropriate, that's a tad violent to put it mildly.  Of course, Dolan is insisting it's censorship because it deals with gay matters.  According to him, it's no more violent than a girl pooring vodka on her breasts  :hmm:

I think he's being a prick, as usual, but I may be biased against the dude.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Great story. *golf clap*

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Very well done.  And no there's nothing there that you don't see every day on TV.  This said the most disturbing isn't the blood - it's the blindness of everyone else.  Perhaps that's what they want to censor ...

@Garbon:  All you have to do is watch the clip, the text is unecessary, but I've given you all an english clip.

Although shocking, it's the truth for all bullying case, it ain't exclusive for young gays.  And I doubt that's what is censored, but rather all the violence in it.  Musique Plus won't air the clip, wich is probably good.

I don't want to watch the clip though nor read about it.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Also I don't care what a Québécois 20-something has to say.

Well, your loss. L'amoures imagines (sp?) was great.

Also, your "too cool for school" shtick is getting tiresome. The Dolan guy has already achieved more than you ever will in your entire life.

We have a winner here! Emphasis mine.  :frog:
Indochine is mostly boring for me but they were good in the '80s in a cheesy '80s pop way. :)
