I went to visit my family the other day, and my younger brother was flipping through the music channels.
At one point he stopped on 'Kerrang!' just as 'Gay Bar' by Electric 6 was starting.
This is the one with them dressed up as Abraham Lincoln, in various homosexual situations, with various sexual imagery - such as stroking the handle of the hammer...

Personally I find the video quite funny - but can see why some people might not be too keen on it, and even why some music channels would not play it.
However Kerrang! did censor part of it. (and this really got me confused)
They didn't censor the video as such, they blanked out the parts of the song where he makes a reference to war. i.e. 'Lets start a war, a nuclear war' with 'war' and 'nuclear war' being blanked out.

Does this strike anyone else as a tad silly?
