I cannot believe I actually made it through. Those are 47 long motherfucking seconds. And that wasn't even fullscreen. There is clearly some deeper meaning, maybe about FGM or something else. It may even be some otherwise noble point. I made the mistake of viewing that video right after going to the full article and I ain't goin' back.

But there's clearly some symbolism there. Sadly, it's like someone without wit or humor trying to reproduce the most biting of Randy Newman songs.
