Nine Inch Nails Happiness is Slavery

This is the opening of the first music video that Jon Reiss directed for Nine Inch Nails. The entire video was banned from MTV when it was released and created a bit of a stir. It was inspired by Octave Mirabeaux s decadent classic The Torture Garden of which I had been a huge fan. And yes that is Bob Flanagan that is the star of the narrative portion of the video.
