a political statement against the lack of joy on the planet

I really don't know what this is about, but it's fun to watch and I like the song a lot. And the lipsynching young-looking background singers. And Amanda Palmer.

Also, here's a note i found on a street corner last night, which I picked up just for the weirdness factor:

"It's so nice to be a dove chocolate melt a-way. Missing you like the diamond out of my ring. The Bible is the most eloquent writing, most impower sofa need pile."

I might be misreading that last part, but that's my best guess. I like how a bunch of seemingly random thoughts (chocolate? the bible?) are just strung together.
