This goofy video for Jemina Pearl's "I Hate People" is like a Twisted Sister video with less drag queens; it's all working person fighting back, starting a riot and making Iggy Pop paper dolls. Wait, that last bit only involves this video. Because that totally happens here. For some reason.

Last week, Iggy totally cocked up that Ida Maria song; here the song manages that all by itself.
Finally! I love this video. Probably won't get played on MTV for the treatment of the MTV idols but they don't even play videos. And something in my heart told me John would walk into the diner.
Also, did Thurston Moore panic and drink industrial-sized mayonaisse?

I like the video more than the song. But this is why BYOP was a bad fit for the Warped Tour: they're kids, but smart and cool, but in a time when kids aren't expected to be smart and cool.
