How did you get a hold of this video?

[ironmantetsuo]

@clonmultcity the full interview is on klfcommunicationsnet's youtube channel. i ripped it from there and edited it down to a 10 minute version. been looking for a better quality version, but nowhere to be found

[indiemayy]

you guys are dummmmmbbb.. they made back the million pounds + more from all the publicity they got from this

[ironmantetsuo]

and how exactly did they do that?

publicity doesn't generate money you know... there needs to be a "product" as well.

what exactly made them that million back? please enlighten us dumb people...

And just to add: if you look on yahoo news today (28-01-09) you can read about some stoopid Americans who forked out £100,00 to clone their dead pet - and the daft "rocker" and the woman in the audience in this chat show think what KLF did was stoopid? Get a perspective, get a life!

The video and the sentiment are so funny. This is excellent!

[thrashpilot]

It's amazing. I heard someone say that when they came back from doing it they were never the same again. We watch Michael Jackson wandering around harrods spending hundreds of thousands on tat, yet somehow this offends people. It says so much more to burn it than to bask in it. Fuck Fabio Dogeggs and his hair.

It's awesome to see that now this is up on the internet, people are still having the same reactions as they did when KLF first showed it off.

The best argument made is simply... if they had spent the money on material items it would be exactly the same waste. Our culture is repulsed by this waste but not by the other.

Very ahead of its time , people just look confused when hes talking about bread and apples.

BUUUUURN MOTHERFUCKER BUUUUURN.

Burn the brain of the masses maybe it will kill the cancer in it.

APARENTLY - they wrote down all the serial numbers so they could claim all the money back. not sure if this is true, just what a tutor at college said

@sixtwentysix What it to you ? A rich man can sail a yacht anywhere he please ...

[sixtwentysix]

@sunnyblack15 How is this any different than a rich person buying a yacht. They are doing what they want. What's it to you.

[sunnyblack15]

They burn a million quid fucking quality why because they can fucking morons ...

[MeMyselfAndEyez]

Ah man :-( The burning meant a lot more before I knew they went on a talk show of this calibre to discuss it!
