Rubber Johnny...REVEALED!

As if information like this wasn't too far away (look no further than www.wikipedia.com), you can find the secrets behind the music video for Aphex Twin's "Rubber Johnny". To summarize the wikipedia article, Rubber Johnny is actually not real, but the brain child, so to speak, of director Chris Cunningham, known for his border-pushing music videos for Bjork ("All is Full of Love") and Beck ("Hell Yes"), just to name 2 such videos. So I was somewhat right... Rubber Johnny was concieved of as a mutant teenager who spends his days locked in a basement with a lone chihuahua as his companion. Chris Cunningham is Rubber Johnny, made up in load of makeup no doubt. I'd say more, but most of it has to do with male gentalia... So just go to wikipedia, and get the inside scoop. It's a great video because it has the capacity to be so revolting it affects you, in a John Water's kind of way...
