Why do so many people screw up "Mad World" videos?
This has kind of been perplexing me. Early on in the song "mad world", there's a lyric about daily races. Now, how hard do you think it would be to find appropriate footage for that lyric? I mean, it's not like there's a scene of Toji and some other characters doing daily laps in one of the early episodes or anything, right? But go on Youtube and do a search for "evangelion mad world" and go down the list of results and notice how many manage to completely drop the ball on this. Mica Cafarella was the only guy who did it right. He used a different jogging scene, but at least he got the idea right. And he did everything else right too, but that's not the point. This isn't about how great he is (which he is), it's about how everyone else could screw up so badly. I just want to know... is this Sturgeon's Law at work or something?

Why do they have to make an AMV following lyrics word for word? That's absurd.
The point of the song is alienation and isolation. That's the theme. If the AMV can capture that theme, than it's good to go.

Though, Gob still might look good in a cocktail dress.

We have to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, and work. Or waffles, friends, and work. But work has to come in third.

Come read EVA Sessions! This place has it, too! There'll be pizza! Not really! There are other things, too! Not EVA Sessions! Did I mention the pizza!?

Hey, just be thankful if they don't try to lip sync. That's always turns out terrible.
