[edit] Music Video

The video is mostly concentrated around an odd humanoid, suggested by the lyrics to be a creation of Manson's, set up on wheels to move. He sodomizes the creature with the help of a another-midget like creature. The band is seen in a large variety of grotesque costumes as they perform the song.
