Nine Inch Nails Upsets MTV

"...We were set to perform 'The Hand That Feeds' with an unmolested, straightforward image of George W. Bush as the backdrop. Apparently, the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me."

-Trent Reznor

"While we respect Nine Inch Nails' point of view, we were uncomfortable with their performance being built around a partisan political statement. When we discussed our discomfort with the band, their choice was to unfortunately pull out of the Movie Awards."

-MTV

What the freak????
Hmmm... I guess MTV is finally growing up. Apparently, Reznor won't. But who really is at fault here? Nine Inch Nails for trying to make a statement on MTV's turf or MTV for not clearly stating the nature and boundaries of performances by bands?

You, as always, be the judge.

For the record, hahaha, I love NIN and think that they really should not agree to do BS shows like MTV Music Awards anyway. MTV sux ass and apprently will continue to do so. I guess I kinda' grew up and out of it, so to speak.
