On
April 16 ,2007 , the same day as the European release date, the music video for the title track debuted on [http://myspace.com/porcupinetree Porcupine Tree's MySpace] , though it was temporarily removed a day later in the wake of the shootings at Virginia Tech due to the band finding the content, namely children wielding guns, distasteful at the present. OnApril 25 ,2007 , the video was launched on the "Fear of a Blank Planet" [http://fearofablankplanet.com/ microsite] to view in high resolution, but has been replaced by the live projection for "Sleep Together ". The video is now included as a bonus along with the 17-minute film for "Anesthetize " on the DVD-A version of "Fear of a Blank Planet".Personnel (video)
