Rubberbandits for Xmas #1 in IRL

Looks like RB will be #1 in IRL for Xmas. Funny, irreverant, crude video that was filmed in UL. Now of course UL (my ULma mater;-) and Milford parish are objecting.
"Following the massive success of the video for “Horse Outside” the Reverend Koenraad Van Guucht, the chaplain of the contemplative centre in University of the Limerick has said they are “less than happy” about the use of the space in filming the video. He said he “wasn't clear at the time of as to exactly the nature of filming". The video was also raised in the Milford parish newsletter which objected to the filmed of the video outside Milford Church. The parishioners and members of the community are said to be “hurt and offended by the video.” A spokesperson for the ‘Bandits said that no one had been misled about the video shoot. They explained that filming for the video have been carried out by a RTE (Ireland’s national broadcaster) and both the University of Limerick and Milford parish had given permission."

What's it about? That a horse is more of a chick magnet than some of the boyo's cars such as honda or subie. You see, there is car content here after all ;-)
According to IrishCentral (diaspora website), "A CNBCblogger seemed to pick the story up all wrong. They seem to think that due to the financial crisis we’ve all reverted to riding horses. Here’s what they said below:
“Are the Irish already getting accustomed to a more austere life? One of the most popular songs in Ireland at this very moment is about how owning a horse is superior to owning a fancy automobile. It may be that the message is resonating with the Irish people.”
Purrleeeeze. Stop the lights!
