The video was universally banned due to its extreme violence and full-frontal nudity. There is a rumor that the only part of the video that was not real was the final sequence in which the man is engulfed by the machine. In reality, the poking and pulling were pretty much the only "real" aspects to the video. Reiss is fascinated with hydraulics, and it clearly shows with this video. The blood and gore were created by mashing bananas and mixing them with chocolate. This would look more realistic when photographed in black-and-white.
The concept for the video was inspired by a novel called ''The Torture Garden'' by Octave Mirabeux.[https://www.loudersound.com/features/nsfw-nine-inch-nails-happiness-in-slavery] The video was originally going to be directed by [[Shinya Tsukamoto]][http://www.filmthreat.com/features/37850/], with whom Reznor would later work with on "[[TOH (Top Of The Hour)]]" and "[[Theme For Tetsuo: The Bullet Man]]", two instrumental pieces credited to [[Nine Inch Nails]].
