 		Why can't I be you?
Cannibal Holocaust is......interesting to say the least.
However, I'm not sure why it's being linked with AV's warning videos. DMAX's message is confusing, but I'm not too bright sometimes. I'm sure it makes perfect sense to someone and the videos are just an ad for a new reality show, "EAT OR BE EATEN."

Pixie if you and I could enlist whomever made these warning videos we could create the best, yet most brutal, ARG ever.

 		it sounds like stock gregorian chanting used for atmosphere, i don't really think there is any signifigance to it specifically....

 		Bela Lugosi's Dead
I finally bit the bullet and e-mailed avwarningSPLAThotmail.com from work because I haven't and probably won't do it at home due to extreme laziness.
Here is what I wrote:

I've recently come across the movies you created, and I must say they are outstanding. Have you done anymore since the third video or published other types of work somewhere?


I know it's lame but I couldn't come up with anything else.

Also, in the dim recesses of my mind I seem to remember that A.V. in Latin actually stood for A.D. in English which would mean Anno Domini or "The Year of our Lord"?

Waddya think?


Um, the term Anno Domini is itself Latin, and the English alphabet is largely based on the Roman one - the D in ancient Latin is still a D in modern English, so surely any ancient Romans would also write A.D. as A.D, wouldn't they?

Personally, I would have though AV is short for Audio Visual - given that the medium being used to distribute these messages is AV, I think that's the simplest answer (though, of course, that doesn't necessarily mean it's right Wink ).
