What do you get when you combine an ex-Russian president, communist
zombies, Twinkies and women with giant jugs? You get the greatest
music video ever created. Tom Stern's music video for the Russian
metal group Anj creates a cartoonish world where the pinko undead prey
on unsuspecting proletariat Hooters waitresses. Who will come to their
aid? None other than a well-oiled, Conan the Barbarian-esque version
of Mikael Gorbachev who can fry ghouls by firing lasers from his eyes.
The video combines kitschy effects with propaganda
posters, as well as an Adult Swim sense for the surreal. It's
uncertain whether the band is in on the joke, which only makes it
funnier. [review by Josh Forbes*]--> watch "Gorbachev"
