Welp, I totally thought Liberty Global was a made up name from some dystopian parallel universe but nope, it's real and exists in the dystopian right here & now.

Why the art-I-choke logo, I wonder.
Or is it a thistle?
Or dinosaur eggs?

Yeah, there is something kind of sinister about the whole video.

This also means that somewhere in that idea-space, Leatherface is hanging a living woman on a meathook to be dismembered, over and over and over. And while that's definitely symbolic of more than a few things in the clusterfuck that is the U.S., maybe they should've though their idea through. "Liberty Global: if your story's not good, no one will care."

Is Vimeo borked? I've tried twice to watch this video (two different ISP's, two different routers), and it won't stream. I'll try a different device and see what happens.
