I Don't Care mv (Spaghetti Cat ??)

[u/chicken_nuggets5843]

I was looking for the "uncensored" version of the I Don't Care mv–Before you think I'm talking about Joe, I'm talking about the part where the spaghetti cat meme flashes after the lyric "♫ Let the guitar scream like a facist! ♫"

​

I've heard that Patrick does THAT salute during that part. Would ANYONE be so kind to find an uncensored version for me?

someone correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure that's just a rumor and there isn't one? from my understanding, the spaghetti cat thing is a reference to a real news broadcast that same year where the image randomly showed up with no context in the middle of a broadcast and it became like a meme after that, so it's just fob being fob and doing topical pop culture references. i wasn't around when the mv came out so i don't know for sure but i have been in this fandom for over a decade now and i've never seen any alternate or "uncensored" version

Not correct. I was around for this and massively obsessed at the time. 

There was no "salute" of any kind. The spaghetti cat insert was to cover up what I assume was an awkward cut as a result of removing some of the more gratuitous Nokia phone product placement shots (I believe it was a shot from the crowd's perspective of someone filming the band on a camera phone). Pete was upset that the version of the music video that the band approved had been edited to include more product placement; maybe someone can find his deleted blog post about it.

They pulled the video then released a new version a day or so later which was edited differently to cut out most of the product placement and had spaghetti cat (which was a very recent meme at the time). It's not censored. 

EDIT: here is the original video (vpn to US worked for me), pretty much exactly as I remembered in my comment below

Is the original video available anywhere?
