"The BPA" = Crazy, Sexy, Funny

I have to be honest, normally when I'm watching something on TV or the internet and one of those big, black censor blocks appears over part of the action, I tend to get irritated. What that block is saying to me is that, whatever is appearing on screen (a boob, a wang, a middle finger, etc.), I'm apparently not mature enough to handle it. It's aggravating that someone has taken my own personal discretion out of the equation and made this decision for me. That being said, I am able to appreciate the video for "The BPA" by Toe Jam featuring David Byrne and Dizzee Rascal that much more because of its valient stab at mocking and manipulating this odd, often unnecessary cultural quirk. Although I have no idea who Toe Jam is and I can only take so much David Byrne, this video is immensely imaginative and inventive.
