Changes

*In the first episode of ''Gossip Girl,'' the main character's mother was caught having sex with Trent by the main character's love interest's father. When the mother tells the father "in your dreams," he replies with "Well you are in my dreams, Lily. One in particular that recurs involves finding you in the back of a Nine Inch Nails bus with your shoes, and your earrings, and… Trent Reznor. Oh! That happened."

*A promo for the 2009–10 season of ''Fringe'' contains a new version of "[[Zero-Sum]]" as well as dialogue read by Reznor. Running the audio through a spectrograph reveals an image of a butterfly.

==Literature and Comics==

* American author Stephen King quotes the chorus of "Hurt" in the opening pages of the final book of his ''Dark Tower'' series, ''The Dark Tower'' (2004). In an interview with The NIN Hotline, he said, "I've always been a TrentRez fan—and Nails. "Hurt" says all you need to know about what life takes away. What it ALWAYS takes away in the end. A song like that is a treasure because it vocalizes what we all feel but somehow can't say. Of course the Cash video blew me away, but that song (and the Bad Company lyric) have been in my head for a couple of years now."[http://www.theninhotline.net/news/archives/backissue/04/10#1097116302]
