whats the deal with weezer?

im not here to talk about them, or their talents as a band-
i was reading about their new video on mtv's web-site, and at the bottom it said that the video would not be shown in the U.S, and only in International markets.
(just so we're all on the same page) -
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1505654/20050713/weezer.jhtml?headlines=true
i remembered that weezer did the same thing for their song "hashpipe" on their last album- and in the states it was called "halfpipe" why do they do that? is that the bands decision ...or other corporate intrests? does it have to do with both songs having a common drug theme. (especially in the name
)
some one awnser me!!

It's because of Bush and the Conservitive environment that he endorses. You can't be too contraversial now days.

the new video they shot is the band's own choice, they're gonna have different videos for the US and the rest of the world (the reason is in an article on Mtv.com).
Hashpipe,On the other hand was censored because of the word hash! talk bout excessive conervatism!

I dont like Weezer, however their new song is the exception to the rule, their new one fucking rocks.
The video is pretty cool too, its an 80's power metal throwback video, long haired bearded vinkingish blokes, throwing thier leather clad fists into the air.\m/
I've seen it as i am in England! One of the good points of living here apparently.
Sorry to throw this back onto topic a little!

Upon seeing this video for the first time, I thought to myself 'Damn, they've done an amazing job of re-creating one of those silly Power Metal videos' (similar to the the re0creation of the Happy Days vibe for 'Buddy Holly'). Then I found out that it is just a re-edited version of Grim Reaper's 'Fear no Evil' video. My bad

'Hash Pipe' was censored by a few TV and Radio stations in the UK as well.
