New ending for Eminem's Mosh video

GNN just posted a new version of the Mosh video with 50 seconds of new animation. You should go ahead and watch it yourself, but I'll put a brief description after some spoiler warnings.  GNN writes:



"All across the country, people are experiencing the fallout of one of the toughest losses of their lives. Like one giant communal hangover, our hearts and minds are filled with regret, despair and dismay...We poured ourselves into the fight, yet only to suffer a devastating defeat.


But now is not the time to give up or become disheartened. We fought a good fight and despite early misleading reports, the Youth Vote did show up on Election Day...So how did we loose? Well, we weren't the only ones to show up on Tuesday. Voters of all ages also showed up in record numbers and the 18-29 demographic was the only group to favor the Democratic ticket (54% - 44%) in the presidential race. So while the Democratic ticket may have lost, young people all over America showed up in record numbers and decisively voted for a change in government.


The initial success of original Mosh video was driven by messaging and timing that connected with people in `our final hour'. It was this generation's call to arms in the lead up to the fiercely competitive presidential election. But, even though the election's outcome was beyond our reach we must not let it stop our momentum or undermine how we perceive the effectiveness of our collective voice. An alternative ending for the video provides the opportunity to remind all those who were inspired by the first version to not give up the fight. So if you are still searching for answers, know that our opinions still matter. We here at the GNN bunker have kept our chins up and heads down these past two weeks and have come back at you with a brand new ending. Our hope is that it will show our battered teammates and the rest of the world that we are not here to say sorry but instead, the fight continues and we will be heard."

    Damn, but these new edits sound incredibly lame. There's no focus or message, other than "Bush bad." Sounds like he's just puking up the dumbest little bumper sticker slogans as if that constituted some meaningful statement.

    Look, scowling and acting really, really mad does not constitute any form of argument.

    And that's besides the fact that this "song" really, really sucks on any kind of musical level.
