Why is it edited?
In the original Dead City Radio audio recording of this poem, as well as the animation's original theater-released edit, "Ah Pook" concludes with this quote:
"Bryon Gysin had the all-purpose nuclear bedtime story... the all-purpose bedtime story, in fact: Some trillions of years ago, a sloppy, dirty giant flicked grease from his finger. One of those gobs of grease is our universe on its way to the floor... Splat."
In every version of the video I've been able to find so far, the audio has been replaced with a different Burroughs poem, "No More Hitlers, No More Stalins." They tried to re-edit the animation to match, but not very well, and I think it ruins the whole ending. Does anyone know why this is? Was there some problem with the Gysin estate? And most importantly, where can I find the original animation cut?
