| − | + | The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05O5M-GJh8Q music video] is notorious for its extremely graphic nature. It primarily features Manson in a hotel room insufflating cocaine (from a table & on a Bible cover), depicting mounds of blood from his nose running down his neck and chest, several S&M scenes, and it involves explicit sexual activity [including masturbating in front of a girl]. | |
| + | |||
| + | The video was banned by Manson's record label in the United States and in Japan and Germany blurring was applied to a particularly graphic scene in which Manson performs cunnilingus. Along with the release of ''[[Lest We Forget (The Best of)]]'', Manson released a DVD single with the uncut, banned from the label, original version of the music video - which had a limited run of 3000 copies. When the video was uploaded onto the website in November 2005, a further 75 DVD's were offered with orders of Lest We Forget, most of which came with a bible page autographed by Manson. | ||
| − | + | Eric Szmanda makes a cameo appearance in the video, and he is seen licking Marilyn Manson's neck at one point, with the help of former bassist [[Gidget Gein]]. Other participants include [[Tim Skold]], [[Dita Von Teese]], Asia Argento (who also directed the video) and Vanessa Hutton. The video was shot at the Argyle Hotel (now known as The Sunset Tower) in a 2,000 sq ft, split-level townhouse suite comprised of a master bedroom and bathroom, sitting room and a powder room. Manson himself financed the production costs for the video. | |

| − | + | * In the song's music video, a shot of former Marilyn Manson bassist Gidget Gein's sculpture ''Incase of Emergency Break Heart'' can be seen when the lyrics "You said I tasted famous, so I drew you a heart" are spoken. Gein also makes a guest appearance in the music video. | |
| − | + | * Manson compared the video to the John O' Brien novel and Mike Figis film "Leaving Las Vegas", describing the video as "an uncomprimised look at me at my absolute lowest point...the point where I have to look up to see shit, that I'm below that." | |

Manson, as revaled on the website's slideshow, photographed the picture while viewing the video for (s)AINT from his television screen. |
| − | + | * Also according to Manson's website the scenes in which Manson stares into a cracked mirror are intended to be evocative of what he called the "fractured personality" photograph that serves as the front cover for his autobiography, [[The Long Hard Road Out of Hell]]. | |
