YouTube Goodness: Does It Offend You Yeah?



Children's TV has a strong history of supporting the anti-drug movement - on these shores we have the infamous efforts of Grange Hill and 'Just Say No' while Japanese television makers obviously have had their own way of presenting the battle faced by modern-day youth against modern day vices , shown here in the ever so subtle form of the Power Rangers... fighting a giant pot-head. Literally.

Those behind the promo for the opening track from the Reading-based electro-rock outfit's debut album You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into obviously came across inspiration in a similar way to how I stumbled across the clip - the joys of YouTube have a lot to answer for I reckon, though props for the nod to the Japanese hack 'n' slash film of which it shares a name at the beginning of the video.
