I do not, but I own it anyways to torture my wife with, as she does. My straight-outta-Mexican sister in law, on the other hand, loves it because it reminds her of authentic Mexican music with Morrissey proto-emo slathered all over it.

I've come to actually enjoy it immensely. It all factors into what I call the Morrissey/Reznor Theory.

It's simple, really, and comes in two pieces:
1) Any cover version of a Morrissey (including Smiths) song is guaranteed to be fantastic. It will always transcend the original, and often times may be the only hit by the covering act. And yet, originals by Morrissey (including the Smiths) are generally awful to listen to and his caterwauling hurts my ears and my soul.

2) Any time that Trent Reznor decides to cover someone else's song, it's immediately transcendant and phenomenal, even when the source material is nigh untouchable and perfect (eg, Joy Division's Dead Souls or Pigface's Suck). This, despite the fact Trent Reznor's actual catalogue is awful and should never be listened to.

Ergo, the most powerful song never recorded was clearly a Morrissey (including the Smiths) song covered by Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails. It's probably better this way, as teh sheer power of that pop song might be enough to tear a hole in the Space-Time continuum causing our galaxy to invert into a world where black is white, cats are dogs and I'd shop at Hot Topic and wear a NIN shirt while self-cutting How Soon Is Now? lyrics into my chest while weeping.

I disagree completely with both those points.

That said I would LOVE to hear Trent cover a Morissey song, or vice versa.
