The song is actually mocking the freedom of choice that America claims to love so much. This is a very poor submission of lyrics - in one chorus they actually say:
<i>Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want</i>
and the line <i>there was a poem about a dog who had two bones he picked at one he licked the other he went in circles till he dropped dead</i> is basically how consumerism (millions of choices) keeps us from knowing what we really want. Does anyone really care that we get to choose between Coke and Pepsi? Big fucking deal.
The video shows a french fry fucking a donut - a perfect metaphor for how companies keep consumers fat and stupid.

@empoprises okay, but it's being used as a comment on modern consumerism, yeah?
