love the concept. execution (no pun intended) could have been better in terms of transition and using REM as a backdrop to the shit-shock-horror of the final product, but I love it still!
Thanks for the compliment! The only REM thing about the video is the song. The band in the video are actors portraying band members. I agree with you on the transitions. So you know, this video was edited on an extremely used, abused and beat-up 3/4" videotape editing machine at a film school (in 1994). You probably never heard of that. No transitions possible on that thing. FYI

This has got to be one of REM's most underrated songs. Clever vid too.
