Trent Reznor...for PETA?

Okay so first off, I've always liked Trent Reznor. From the moment Angelo Fontanez lent me "Pretty Hate Machine" in high school I was hooked. I knew it was trouble but I couldn't deny the attraction to this unbelievably visceral and dark industrial groove. I sunk into corners of my room with "Something I can Never Have" and understood the forbidden lust in "Kinda I Want to." "Pretty Hate Machine" is just one of the best albums ever in my opinion. "Terrible Lie" was my internal junior high manifesto. At times it still is. That's what NIN is for.

So it's not that I wasn't touched I saw that Trent had done a video supporting PETA. That's a great thing. But I have to admit I was just more accustomed to seeing him hover in mid air in front of meat wings or biting his own flesh in a music video or something. I guess we're all getting older.
