ERNIE SCAR POST INTERVIEW:
Several months after the interview was conducted I was listening to the rough cut and noticed that there was one question that I believe needed clarification. It's something that everyone seems to ask. So, I called 'Ernie' back and here's what happened...
Why you don't ever just come out and reveal yourself? Why not just walk into a tv station
or press room and say; "I'm Ernie Scar and here's the proof."?
'Ernie' "I don't want the hassle. I don't need it. If people want to continue to live in 1986 let them." Read more of his thoughts here
He told me more but his answer was perfectly summed up in those small sentences.
Keep in mind that 'Ernie' said that Brocket 99 was never intended for the masses. It was a private joke between a few friends. And those friends made copies for their friends and so on. After internet access and file sharing came onboard the parody spread like a virus. And seventeen years after the first tape was released, I (Michael Anthony) obtained the copyrights and helped to make the parody even bigger. In essence, I am much more responsible for keeping the parody alive than 'Ernie Scar' ever was. Ernie never wanted to spread the parody because it was not his intention. But even if I were to shut the site down and no longer offer Brocket 99, it will still go on without me. It is unstoppable. Because it's just that damn funny!
And if we look at comedy or art in general, note that almost everything has been judged. Monty Python's work has been called blasphemous and racist. Many religious Christians believe that the Wizard of Oz is evil. Plenty of groups call for banning the little rascals because of its supposed racist overtones. And there are so many other examples from recent history that have been attacked and misunderstood. Sam Kinison, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, NWA, Eminem, Public Enemy, Madonna, Southpark, The Simpsons, Trailer park Boys, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny you name it. Even political systems, world leaders and religions are often misunderstood and misinterpreted.
