A nod to The Prodigy original, Romain Gavras directs Justice’s new video for Stress. Hyperviolent, surreal, French, Insane. Watch:
I’m a cyclist, designer, nerd, climber, musician, tourist, rider, gamer, coder, brother, son, and friend.
I flick, ffffind, tweet, travel, dance, link, and vox. From here you can view my resume or portfolio, send me an email, subscribe to my blog’s feed, add me to your TypePad people list, or guess where I am now.
I admire Alfonso Cuarón, Lynn Hill, Banksy, John Roebling, Neal Stephenson, Jeff Buckley, Charles and Ray Eames, Michael Chabon, Hunter S. Thompson, Steve Jobs, Rick Rubin, Frank Lloyd Wright, Larry Wall, William Gorgas, Mike Skinner, Ridley Scott, Linus Torvalds, and Miles Davis.
I read Amanda, Anil, The Atlantic, AutoblogGreen, BaGEL Radio, btrott, bradfitz, Dabysan, David, The Economist, Electoral Vote, FFFFOUND, Hot Rod, Jay, Khoi Vinh, KT, markpasc, Michael, Monoscope, nerdgirl, Political Wire, Steve, Tatsuhiko, The Times, TUAW, Typographica, Xis, and Winnie.
When I was young I was a camp counselor, made videogames and painted things, played music, and lived in seven states and two countries. I’ve never been to Burning Man, but plan to. If I had to choose, I’d rather climb Mount Everest. When I grow up I want to be a firefighter, a cargo pilot, a sculptor, an archeologist, an architect, a CEO, a doctor and a lawyer. I was a runway model once. I eat local and organic, recycle and turn the lights off when I leave. I cannot speak Boontling and do not have my own Wikipedia article.

romanticized version of very real behaviors. I don't think they deserve recognition or encouragement, but that is certainly the effect this has on a number of people.
Do you think this video will encourage this type of behavior? If so, do you think the same regarding violent videogames?
I think it will. Much like the Yamakasi movie had people jumping onto cars to cross the streets for a few weeks.
As for violent videogames .. I don't know any game that works on the same level as this. Even a product like postal or GTA has several layers of parody and artistic treatment that make it hard to misinterpret.
The video is brilliantly done though, violent and provocative, it's good work.
