Well, this logic would make any internet board into a kind of art.Considering that Mansons song is actually a barbed commentary on the mindless infatuation of society with everything that is "extreme", "cool", "violent", i.e. the next media hype (and the next, and the next) this trailer is actually quite a deliciously ironic thing. Just like the song itself, btw, which most probably just mindlessly sing along with, without getting it's meaning at all (do we get it? No! Do we want it? Yes!)I don't know if it is conscious, but if it is, this thing is working on so many levels, that it is actually almost transcending into art. Maybe it is even art especially if it is not conscious...
Seriously, though, what troubles me is that we may be accelerating the flood of these chimeric products by buying these products aimed to "everyone." Such unconscious consumer actions tend to end up with filling the market with junk foods and Hollywood movies. The irony here is, to some extent, we are more political as "consumers" than joining a certain "political activities", which would be one of the reasons why I tend to be bitter/cynical to "political discussions."
