The music band, Nine Inch Nails, has pulled out of the MTV Movie Awards after clashing with the network over an image of President Bush that the band planned as a performance backdrop. The image was to accompany the song “The Hand That Feeds,” which criticizes the occupation of Iraq. MTV said in a statement it would have been “uncomfortable with their performance being built around a partisan political statement.” The leader of Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor, said on the band’s Web site that the image of Bush would have been unaltered. Reznor said “Apparently, the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me.”
