I was channel surfing the other day, and came across this FOX show "Celebrities Without Makeup." I was so stunned by the horror that I actually watched an entire segment. Afterward I wanted very badly to scrub my brain out with a very harsh scrubbing brush. It's put me off TV for at least a month, I think. Well, except the Daily Show. (I missed one last week and there was no rerun. Goddammit, Comedy Central, you suck!)
hah! the exact same thing happened to me. i even desperately channel-surfed during commercials hoping that i could find something, ANYTHING to take me away from the terrifying experience. yet i kept flipping back, like it was a black hole of crap that was just sucking me in. and i had to take a bath afterward.
now i don't feel so bad, knowing that someone else succumbed. though i am worried for the both of us.
as for nine inch nails videos… i blame them for largely contributing to the person i am today. i have their collected vids that i bought at best buy on VHS years ago (VHS! how quaint!) and i used to just watch them over and over in the dark. they were always so amazing. and part of why i initially wanted to be a documentary and music video director back in high school. and i don't care what anybody says, the video for "the perfect drug" is one of the best cinematic bits of vampire imagery out there. and the video for "wish" turns me on every freakin' time.
