A brilliant new video from Radiohead, partnering with MTV to bring awareness to slave labor and human trafficking. Here's what Thom Yorke had to say about it...
"All power to MTV for taking this on because it's obviously going to be difficult for them in terms of the advertisers. Their lawyers had to beg to make sure there wasn't a single white [sneaker] with a logo on it because the implication would be a little too close. But the implication is still there. If [MTV] are able to break the taboo of enslavement and put it onto the agenda then its a good thing. If they get people to think in terms of the profits we make in the West because of cheap labor, then that's a good thing."
