After the original "(s)AINT" music video was banned in the United States due to its scenes of
drug abuse ,self-mutilation ,nudity ,sexual content and bondage, Manson made another version appropriate for television and other sources. Along with the release of the album, Lest We Forget, Manson released a single DVD with the uncut, banned from the label, original version of the music video. The only way to receive this though was to order it through Manson's website. It came also with the CD/DVD package. The explicit version of the DVD was released with the (s)AINT video in Australia and Europe. Japan required an edited version of the video due to censorships laws on showingfemale genitalia in media.
