[edit] Video Director

The article says that Les Claypool directed it and appears as the pig. It also says the director has a cameo. If Les Claypool is the director and appears constantly throughout the video, how can he also have a cameo?

Besides, I thought Mark Kohr directed it.

Additionally, anyone capable of writing the sentence " What the video has to do with the song is also unknown" has clearly decided to take Wikipedia's preference for content that is at once mind-numbingly obvious, yet utterly without value, to heights that I had previously considered unreachable.

Whilst I appreciate that an encyclopedia should by definition contain purely factual content and concede that I can in no way dispute the accuracy of the statement above (and nor can anyone else, since no statement has been made by the band on the relationship between the respective contents of the video and song), surely a more informative comment, which would be supported and confirmed by anyone that has actually seen the video, would be that the content of the video bears no relationship whatsoever to the content of the song hence the difficulty in explaining said relationship?

There is a crossover point between defending a standard and becoming so anal that the you debase the very things that I thought Wikipedia was about, namely free access to information. Free access to no information is worthless. Knowledge is power.
