And here's why they are so hated - the most ridiculous, toe curling, clichéd, embarrassing interview ever given by anybody on British television. It is like a modern day Spinal Tap:



It just gets worse and worse and worse in part two...

Late at night on 1st August 2009, a 15-minute TV promotional video featuring music by Raygun along with an extended interview was broadcast on British TV network Channel 4 in their 4Play slot. The interview segments from the video were uploaded by a viewer to YouTube, and the clip quickly began to gain notoriety, mainly for the supposedly naive or cliched responses given by the band. After being featured on the NME website under the title "The Video That Made Me Laugh Until I Cried Today" and The Guardian website under the subhead: "The world sinks to a new low", particularly mocking the lead singers comment of "We might have mojitos at 11am in the morning! I mean, what the hell, man?". Sony BMG issued a take-down notice for the video, leading to accusations that they were attempting to shield the band from criticism. In fact, the footage is freely available elsewhere on YouTube.
