WE KNOW YOU WANT US TO MAKE FUN OF KORN’S “OILDALE” VIDEO

Because we’ve gotten a bunch of e-mails that are all like, “Why don’t you make fun of Korn’s ‘Oildale’ video?!?”

And we aim to please (well, not really, but I think I’m supposed to say that). But the thing is, there isn’t actually much to make fun of. Sure, the song is lousy, but we’ve said that already. And the video is pretty dumb, with lots of lowest common denominator “symbolism” that I guess is supposed to be “profound” (the kid is riding his bike, being chased by a big scary dog, approaching a dead end clearly marked by a sign that reads “Dead End,” just in case you don’t understand), but…

Oh, wait. I guess I did just kinda make fun of it. Okay. Well, hope that at least sorta-kinda made some of you happy.

Meanwhile, much to my amazement and amusement, some of you are still arguing about my Korn III listening party report. It’s enough to make me wanna review Gold Cobra!
