MTV Responds to NIN Drop Out By Newsferatu, Writer Friday, May 27, 2005 @ 8:40 PM
Late Thursday, Reznor posted this statement at http://nin.com: "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.

Today, MTV said in a statement: "While we respect Nine Inch Nails' point of view, we were uncomfortable with their performance being built around a partisan political statement. When we discussed our discomfort with the band, their choice was to unfortunately pull out of the Movie Awards."
Feel free to use the occasion of your Memorial Day weekend to rant about this one.
