This is the final episode in a three part series of interviews with Chicken John who has been burning since 1994. Here he recounts one of the earliest and (until Paul Addis came along) most infamous Burning Man pranks when in 1996 (the year of the Hellco theme) a neon smiley face was installed within the effigy which Larry Harvey immediately censured. Scott Beale wrote an excellent follow up accounting of the "Smiley" caper in his blog Laughing Squid following the Addis incident which can be read in its entirety here: http://is.gd/z41V. Filmed 13 April 2009 at his home in San Francisco, CA. More info at http://burncast.tv. Distributed by Tubemogul.
Jeff, he said in an earlier video he has only received one check and that he didn't know he was being given it and hadn't asked for it.

Jesus Christ, John.
Youre such a fucking hypocrite. In one breath youre blasting Larry for smashing Smiley because It wasnt his to break but in the next youll defend your psyopath bed buddy Paul Addis and his right to burn other peoples property WHILE THERE WERE INNOCENT BYSTANDERD UNDERNEATH THE FIRE.
Youve got all this venom and hatred for Larry but how many of his grants and checks have you taken from him since 1996?
