===2005 MTV Movie Awards===
Nine Inch Nails was scheduled to perform this song live at the ''2005 MTV Movie Awards,'' but MTV denied [[Trent Reznor]]'s request to perform in front of a large image of President George W. Bush's face. As a result, Reznor decided to cancel the performance. He NIN was replaced by the [[Foo Fighters]].
Reznor responded on the [[http://www.nin.com |Official NIN Website]]:
The video caused quite a stir throughout the NIN community. Some didn't like the song, whereas others weren't even sure that this was the official video as it didn't look "done" to them. Still others were quick to note a noticeable change in Reznor's physical appearance.
Initially, there were plans to create an animated video using the same company that created Eminem's "Mosh" video. The plans were scrapped sometime during pre-production.
