Lego "Thieves". An embedded video for the Ministry song (bad words make it NSFW). See a Lego mosh pit. See a huge robot thing rip off peoples' heads. See (for the first and only time anywhere) Al Jourgenson smile. Fast forward through the slow part in the middle.

"Donald Rumsfeld needs to wear iced underwear ... He was recently getting uncontrollable long-term erections ... The underwear and the erections is why he uses a standing desk, not because he is some super-man. He also wears nylon stockings ... to control some vascular problem with his legs which causes him intense pain.

Because of the dosage, he is also impotent." Seen @ Screenhead. more inside
