The Johnny Cash version is fucking shit.
It's like Alexandra Burke covering 'Hallelujah'. It sounds lovely enough if you're too culturally shallow to be familiar with, or appreciate the original. Its only saving grace is that it comes from an album of cover versions and wasn't the only song to get buggered.
The message in the video is so fucking far removed from the song's intended message and still every cunt is like "Man, it's so deep and emosh, innit."

I beg to differ.
I think Cash's version is great. There's nothing wrong with appropriation of a song and reinterpreting it (and the interpretation is very different from the original, with Cash at the end of his life and Reznor battling his way through his).
If you want fucking shit, you should try the Leona Lewis cover (trigger warning: It is a monstrous pile of old wank)

BTW, have you heard the Reznor / Bowie duet of Hurt?

Teenage argument,
I like = good
Not like = shit
Not much nuance from someone who is as culturally sophisticated as you claim to be.
I knew the original first, they are different, the Cash version is so sad because it is sung by an ill old man, in a museum of personal possessions, his wife looks on. They both died within seven months and the museum burnt down.
