NEW RELEASE: SMatka "Wrong Love"

Latex, chainsaws, midgets and an s&m menagerie of characters — including a penguin, Nosferatu and some geishas — all come together in this random, yet entertainingly outrageous video from Germany. Director Gero Von Braunmühl casts techoshock singer SMatka in a succession of perverted and not quite pornographic set-ups that are definitely creepy, but never scary — or even erotic, really — thanks to a playful and almost comedic tone. It's as if the message is: Fetishes are fun. Makes sense, since a good portion of the budget was apparently contributed by German latex design company Fetish Universe — who would probably be very happy if you clicked through to buy that sweet "Bat Guy" mask and a pair of assless chaps. Another quite weird aspect of all this is that this is an award-winning clip.  Director GvB was honored on-stage — alongside fellow winners Pedro Almodovar, Oliver Stone and Forest Whitaker — for winning the Best Music Video category at the 10th Annual Hollywood Film Festival. --> watch "Wrong Love" below (note: there is some nudity, so let's call this be unsafe for work)
