Bastards. I'm annoyed about Disco 4 but this is too harsh!

Why isn't this on the official site?

That is what makes you wonder how official this is!

Here's the stats:

Sunderland V Tottenham (Got to remind you it was 1-0 to the home side): Attendance: 43,967

Tottenham v Everton (I'll refresh your memory. Everton won 3-1!!): Attendance: 35,716

I reckon you are psychic! First of all the suggestion of PSB fans being in the video and also by the speed of your reply, you knew what i was going to put. It's like you was ready for me.

This video is either bullsh*t, or we could be in line for a release due to all this silly pressure. I cannot see it being unofficial if PSB are in it.

will get a credit at the end of the video. The video is looking great
by the way.

Let me know if you think you can make it!:) We would love to see you there."

Does that mean that they will put the 200 names at the end of the video ?

I didn't get a reply. I'm a reject. SOB.

The Integral video is being made to put on YouTube and the official site, isn't it? This is what it's come to - no single release, but an official video on YouTube.

The extras request has also appeared on the Jonty Skrufff mailing list:

Pet Shop Boys Want London Skrufff Readers (August 21)

Electro-pop pioneers the Pet Shop Boys are seeking 200 people to appear in their new video for upcoming anti-ID card single Integral, for which filming takes place in central London this Tuesday.

The video's producers told Skrufff they need 200 people to attend Whitefield Memorial Church, 79a Tottenham Court Road on Tuesday afternoon (between 3pm and 7pm) who they want to variously hold up printed frames of the video clip to their faces or move around in the background.

"We can't pay anyone, but there will be refreshments," video organiser Jacqui promised, "And it's for a great cause," she added.

The video develops Integral's lyrical theme of ID cards and the erosion of civil liberties in the UK by central government and combines a mix of surveillance type footage and information technology. Also embedded in the film are single frames of QR Code, a new Bar Code technology that is readable by the camera in people's mobile phones. The QR Codes contain url destinations that elaborate on the issues, and encourage viewers to get active (including Skrufff.com)

"Everyone is welcome to the video, the Boys wont be there though; we have already filmed them," said Jacqui.

"And everyone involved will get a credit at the end of the video, from one of the barcodes. There's no dress code," she added.

For further details please email Jacqui at the following address (ASAP!!!):

jacqui@thesweetshop.tv

Ooh, QR codes are old news in Japan. They're used all over the place.

Still a bit strange, I am not in the area at that time anyway. Perhaps I would do it for the fun of it.

Hey!! I have my own Chilean ID Card since I was born!!! with bar code, my fingerprint thumb, my own number and all that kind of stuff (luckily without chip)
We can't complain about that, is a "old" law.........

"Everyone has their own number...."

(some important information was blured )

When PSB played INTEGRAL here in Chile, I had my ID Card in my right hand during the whole song jumping and singing, it was hilarious!!!

If the info is true, I would like to be in that video!!!

Dipso · #29 Post by **Dipso** » Sun 19 Aug 2007, 3:39 am

I have two ID cards - Hong Kong and Japan. (Everyone has to carry an ID card in HK. Only foreigners have to carry one in Japan...) The prospective British one is altogether a different story though. My Japanese one doesn't even have a chip in it.
