Media attention

SKINNY's music video for Devendra Banhart's song "Carmensita" garnered a lot of public attention thanks to the presence of actors Natalie Portman, Kat Dennings and Lukas Haas.[1] In particular, news that Devendra Banhart and Natalie Portman began dating after meeting on the set of the video was reported in the tabloids. The music video, which pays homage to Bollywood films and TV shows of the 1960s and 1970s based on ancient Indian epics of Mahabharata and Ramayana, has since become one of the most celebrated videos of 2008. It was featured in The Guardian,[2] MTV,[3] Subterranean,[4] Time Magazine,[5] NME,[6] Rolling Stone,[7] People Magazine,[8] Perez Hilton[9] and E![10] Moreover, Spin Magazine voted the video the 10th Best Video of 2008 and MTV's indie rock music video show Subterranean included it in its Top 15 of 2008.[11]

Invading could physically damage it in hard to fix ways, and would probably lead to the loss of most of the people working on it and their knowledge; even ignoring this, it relies on materials from elsewhere which could be cut off. Basically everyone needs the chips produced by TSMC, and if they just stopped existing so would... roughly all consumer electronics for several years.)
