Not quite done reading it yet, but a couple of things I learned.

Spoiler: show
- The death girl was more or less invented by Ed. He had edited together shots of Spawn's wife with that strobe effect on his AVID machine.
- Ed specifically requested the girl running through the field and stepping on the ant hill. He made them cut surfers in the ocean with dolphins.
- The cricket chip at the end, which I didn't even know existed, was a requirement from Ed, a message about Earth living on after humans kill themselves off. MTV didn't want it b/c "they don't do 1 second of black screen for anyone," but Kelly Curtis got them to relent, and the video always aired with a second of black and a cricket chirp at the end.
- Todd McFarlane came up with the scene of Death feeding a demon dog a can of humans. He doesn't know what made him think of it, or what it even means.
- Censored by MTV: Swastikas had to be changed to pseudo SS logos. A scene with a heroin needle going into a girl's foot was cut. A Nike symbol on the Vietnam bomber had to be changed to a generic symbol.

This was all the tidbits I learned. The last few chapters were all interviews that I could take or leave. I went through the book once for the art, once for the read, and once more for the art. I seriously enjoyed it. I'm ready to start the 3 year wait for Art of Jeremy or Art of Dance of the Clairvoyants now.

From the, "yeah, that seems about right" annals: Future editions of this book will correct typos and errors. OMG. :shake:

I never knew that limited-use CDs existed. The reflective layer was designed to fail after a few reads. Not about the video, but a very interesting nugget nonetheless.
