C.O.G.: The INFOMERCIAL
13 minutes - stereo - color - April 1997


This video is horribly funny and now quite painful to watch.  In it, Dr. Pinkerton takes over the televisions of the world to spread the C.O.G.'s malign message.  Early stage and rehearsal clips of 'March of the Skeletons', 'LoveKill', 'Death to the Angel of Death', 'Brain Wrap' and 'Ode on a Mass Spectrometer' are shown, dating all the way back to our second (!) lecture, along with such inventions as The Time Door, The Sonic Mind Probe, The Prestigious Gold Medal, and The Illustrious Diploma...

In retrospect, we REALLY didn't know what we were doing back in '97, but in retro-retrospect, it's a good thing that that never stopped us!  This video will probably resurface some day as a 'hidden track' on the C.O.G. DVD...
