[Watch it here](http://www.hugi.is/hahradi/bigboxes.php?box_id=51208&f_id=1075) I can’t tell if this is serious or a just a joke. Anyone know? If it is real, it is the worst video I have ever seen. ---

There are _legitimate_ videos out there that are far worse than Supersonic Electronic. If you have an ethnic television station in your area, or can get one on cable, Indian and Pakistani music videos are incredibly kitschy by US standards. I’ve also seen music videos from Egypt and Sudan on SCOLA, and they are truly, truly awful. Seems like the quality of music videos from a country is inversely proportional to the percentage of the male population that wears moustaches. ---
