shadowcaptain, aetherexplorer, and anyone else who loves Amanda Palmer and her song Oasis (and hates the media banning it), this vid's for you.

(Sound quality is crap, but it gets the picture across well enough.)

(And for those who are all "hurr, stop being cryptic" and "I don't get it", Oasis is the peppiest song about rape and abortion you will ever hear. It is a fucking awesome pop song, and I find myself singing it all the time, (especially when doing dishes for some reason) However, the media was all like "WE THINK THIS IS BAD AND MUST BE BANNED" (probably in order to protect the children) which was A) completely missing the point Amanda was trying to make, which is dealing with horrible things with humour and pushing them back to your subconcious while trying to focus on the good in life, and B) a bit of a dick move.)

If you want to watch the original video, here's Amanda in all her black humour awesomeness.

Does "the media" refer to the FCC issuing a rule, to the collective result of the managing organizations of the small handful of companies which own the overwhelming majority of radio stations, or to something else?

I believe that would be this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Palmer#Oasis_Controversy).

I love that woman. I don't necessarily like all of Dresden Doll's songs, but the ones that I don't, I'm still mad impressed by their craft and poetry.

Plus she's like the hottest woman in music. (Srsly, popular musicians these days, they get by on their looks... And mainstream looks are, well... Friggen boring. I'd chose Amanda Palmer over Fergy any day)

Also, I want her eyebrows.

I have to say, I find that song very squicky and don't think it's a good song because of it.

That doesn't mean it should be banned, I just do honestly find it uncomfortable rubbish.
