Video
The dystopian video is about a young man who enters the Ministry for Discipline and Order (an allusion to the Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors) with a Die Ärzte record. The ministry is run by a dominatrix (played by Teresa Orlowski), where books and records are checked by the censors under her control. The Die Ärzte record is listened to by the inspectors, scratched and branded with a huge censorship stamp, after which it is thrown to a monster-like garbage disposal. As the garbage disposal chokes on the record, the censors and the dominatrix try to destroy it but are unsuccessful. On the record's label, Farin Urlaub and Bela B. celebrate their triumph against the censors.
