'''''Running Time: 5:24'''''
This version has an extended ending, incorporating fireworks and applause from KISS' "Shout It Out Loud," found on ''Alive II'', an audience shouting "[[Nine Inch Nails]]!" and the beginning guitar riff of "[[Complication]]." The track then fades out. The version on the cassette single lacks the "Complication" guitar, thus making the chanting more audible.

The [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music video ]] for "Starfuckers, Inc." was released in 2000 under the name '''"Starsuckers, Inc."''' due to censorship issues. The interlude lyrics were also changed for the video, allegedly to avoid a copyright infringement lawsuit. The video was co-directed by Robert Hales and Marilyn Manson.
'''''SPOILERS BEGIN'''''<br>
A glammed-out Reznor and a strung-out, leggy blonde are riding in the back of a limousine. They stop at a run-down carnival at a trailer park and participate in the games there. These games include throwing CDs in a toilet, smashing plates bearing head shots of popular musicians, breaking busts of various musicians (including Reznor himself), and a dunk tank the involves a large man dressed like [[Courtney Love]] falling into a tank filled with toxic waste.
At this point in the video, it becomes a commentary on the state of music at the time. Bands like Limp Bizkit were extremely popular while Smashing Pumpkins and R.E.M. seemed to be past their prime in the eyes of the record labels and many consumers. After the dunk tank, Reznor and the blonde return to the car. It is then that the blonde is revealed to be Manson dressed in drag. Many people speculated that the feud between Reznor and Manson had ended.<br>
