This is a really good intro, but I confess its also one I dont particularly enjoy watching thanks to such imagery as the decaying corpse of an animal. Of course, this intro is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable, as evidenced by the kid in the Klan uniform.

All that strong imagery has a definite story to tell. The weird thing about this intro is the story the intro conveys leads you to believe its an entirely different kind of show. Sure, theres the slight hint of vampires from the sign reading God hates fangs, or the kid with the blood red strawberries smeared around his mouth. But the story this intro conveys seems to be about the ugly side of America and its long history of racism. Regardless of whether the intro gives a misleading impression of the premise of the show, however, theres undeniably a story here.

The theme song is oddly perfect for this intro. I say oddly because it doesnt seem like a song about doing bad things with a person should work with an animal decomposing. But it suits the provocative and edgy tone of the intro, and its a pretty good song too.
