MTV censorship

Nine Inch Nails was scheduled to play “The Hand That Feeds” at the MTV Movie Awards on June 9th. However, their set decoration was not approved, and as a result the band cancelled the gig. Here’s Trent’s explanation:

Nine Inch Nails will not be performing at the MTV Movie Awards as previously announced. We were set to perform The Hand That Feeds with an unmolested straightforward image of George W. Bush as the backdrop. Apparently the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me. See you on tour this fall when we return to play in America. Trent Reznor (5_26_2005).
