Kelis 3-D

The 3-D rage has really hit a new high. 3-D movies, 3-D television, and now...3-D music videos! While Kelis's new video for "Scream" isn't nearly as hi-tech as Avatar, the effort into the third dimension is still totally awesome. We KNOW that this won't be the only 3-D music video this year. Check it out above (and instructions on how to make the necessary retro 3-D glasses after the jump).

Then again, consider the history of Google (owner of Youtube) promoting censorship while arguing against it; maybe it's no surprise.
