kueller Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Shame the mistake cost them so much for what was a pretty fun and well received (by the fanbase) video. Hopefully the editing job isn't too much and they can put the incident behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zolic Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 it's because they accidentally left an italian flag in the video That is the reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paper tiger Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I feel so bad for muse and Tom. We were looking forward to this video. It finally comes out our minds were blown and then their HONEST mistake turns into them being attacked. If you're angry at the flag and what represents that's one thing but to attack the band is just so unfair. I'm sure the video will be back up... Soon.

Hopix Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 A symbol's meaning changes throughout history. The image of a rising sun has been used hundreds of times before in other cultures just like how the swastika originally represented a dharma wheel. It's the context in which we use these symbols that determine how we interpret their message. For me, I feel as though the flag is so out of context in this video that it does not in anyway promote hatred and can just be viewed as simply a flag. It's unfortunate that we live in a society that has to be so politically correct all of the time that it enables our freedom of speech. I think people need to use critical thinking a little bit more to rationalize their anger because ultimately, they should be angry about the events that took place and decisions people made, not the flag they used. However, because we don't live in a perfect society, some PR work might have to be done if this gets out of hand. My thoughts exactly. Bravo.

kueller Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 ..so far as I can tell (from comments), it's because they accidentally left an italian flag in the video This is correct. We should all blame Fabri for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter. Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 well, this was... sort of what I expected, I must say. it's probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, but it's ridiculous in a good way, in a way it suits the song, unlike Supremacy's video which is just an all-out big stinky wtf. so yeah, this is pretty much something Muse are capable of doing, I like it. I like the musey ridiculousness (is that a word?), I loved it at KoC and I love it now. i really laughed my ass off, Chris is especially hilarious:LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philistine Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 From the comments on the site: "Awww, bugger that! Just edit the part everyone's whining about with a big ass smiley face, and put it back up straightaways." ...may add to the apparent hilarity, a big floating smiley face on the video? And, it will serve as a somewhat comical reminder of this minor screw-up?? Re pie. I like Steak and Mushroom pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareeh Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The video is just something for the fanboys and fangirls to chew on. At least make it more funny than pompous. I prefer One Direction's One Way or Another MV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, because we don't live in a perfect society, some PR work might have to be done if this gets out of hand. I get what you are saying about meaning of symbols changing/being context-dependent, but the fact of the matter is that a Muse music video is hardly a tool that can affect a symbol's meaning in a society. Some symbols are just tainted, and their meaning can't be changed in a short time span. It's kind of like wearing a swastika t-shirt in Europe and rolling your eyes when people become offended, because you just mean it as a good luck sign in your personal context. I mean, there is such thing as a common sense. I don't see this as a free speech issue at all because it's not like anyone, let alone a government, is saying Muse can't use the symbol even in its most offensive intentional meaning. Since this video is as far from a political statement as possible, there is no reason to start banging on about free speech infringement. Sometimes something like a little cultural consideration will go far- Muse seem to agree by temporarily pulling the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
