I'll say that the dude ninja thinks he's the cats meow and a major deuce nozzle and his wife or sister or whoever he has that baby with, yolandi, she's whacked out on zef drugs.

Their "Ugly Boy" video is some weird crazy stuff that features cameos by Marilyn Manson, Flea, Jack Black, Aphex Twin and Dita Von Teese: Īpparently on the movie set, Ninja which is the performing name of the dude in the group, was an absolute ass to all of the actors: Below is a GIF from their "Fatty Boom Boom" video which basically trashes Lady Gaga.
