What the F**K Is This? Does Radiohead Know?
There are strange things to be found in the dusty corners of YouTube. This is one of them.
Tom forwards this video even though he knows it may get him banned from the site forever. Anyone care to explain why Radiohead’s “The National Anthem” should be repurposed in such a bizarre way? This bloody thing is gonna give me nightmares–yet I cannot look away.
Anyone care to shed any light on what this might be? And what’s a “Rupan Bal?”
BoingBoing recently posted the original video, which is a weird Telugu film sequence from the 80s:

Someone just purposed this for Radiohead’s The National Anthem.
Seems appropriately weird enough for Radiohead… but I think it would make a better Beck video.
It looks like something that could’ve been included on The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth of All Time ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Most_Gigantic_Lying_Mouth_of_All_Time ), if it wasn’t, you know, a repurposed video.
