This contains similar themes to System Of A Down song "Vicinity Of Obscenity," but is more in-depth and attacks television as a main source of distribution. Violent pornography was a new trend, especially in internet porn. There were multiple web sites dedicated to it, and if you actually watched this material you could see how misguided, drugged-up, lied to, and manipulated the "actresses" really were. It delivers the same affect to the opposite gender: a false view of women.
The song implies that organized religion, our food supply, the force-feeding of entertainment (in a restaurant - play music; in an office - feed em' magazines; in your house - blare the TV; fill the mailbox with crap; fill your mind with crap), is all intended to prevent you from having a personal relationship with your god and knowing the truth; that your life has a purpose above obtaining material goods. That there is a force out there with the intention of controlling your mind.
SOAD guitarist Daron Malakian wrote this song - music and lyrics - and produced it with Rick Rubin. Malakian was taking more creative control in the band around this time, which was a factor in their breakup a year later.
