and then we're, ummm, gonna give the camera THE FINGER!!!

The Strokes continue to shake up both music and the very foundations of our society.

"We're doing a live performance at a radio station [in the video], which will be broadcast all across New York," [lead singer Julian Casablancas] explained. "There might be full-frontal nudity. MTV will not play this video because it's so controversial, [but] it will be groundbreaking."

Holy shit. Nudidy and sexuality on MTV!? Not since Elvis the Pelvis has our youth been exposed to this kind of depravity. No other group (especially not one that appeals primarily to 14-year-olds) would ever try something like this.

Oh, and if you were freaked out by the idea of naked children of lecherous modeling magnates, you probably don't want to read on. It gets worse.

A source involved with the video's casting had even more intriguing information to add: The treatment calls for people of all genders, ages, ethnicities and sexual preferences who are "comfortable" with exhibitionistic displays of love, tenderness and affection — to put it very mildly.

That's right -- you could inadvertently be exposed to a naked gay. Or an older person. Or even a Southeast Asian! I don't even think the original badasses of rock and roll went that far.
