Since Stress spread the web with it's politically incorrect video a couple of weeks back the inescapable uproar from the right wing conservatives has taken its toll, forcing the pair to tongue some word about the clip.

Originally released in French, below is a rough English translation of how it reads.

"…the video was meant to be unplayable on tv, like 'stress' is unplayable on the radio. It was not meant as a commentary on society, nor was it our intention to shock people or promote racism or hatred. We consciously chose to release it on one site only. The unforeseen spread of the video has forced us to think about how hard it is to control where your art is going. 'Stress' is meant to provoke discussion, like all contemporary cinema, art and literature."

Our classy French friends do it again.
