I'm reading 'I want my MTV' (book about MTV and music videos at the mo. This video strikes me as a stand-up classic. Perfect visual details. Subtle (yes subtle) humour. Revenge. Narrative structure fitting the song structure. Just perfect.
Retrospective is the word! Like the time I found out my schoolfriend died and I ended up grieving for someone fate (but not FB) had dictated I should no longer know...weird! Now I have an FB alter ego for spying on people instead ;)

I've given up on fb; too, er, retrospective. Twitter good for discovery - if you follow the right people/feeds.
