C, though I think there is some truth to the rumor of B. With the video director quitting?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Because it was a big deal at the time.

Yes.

Even Flo, I mean, Jeremy.

Jeremy, yeah.

Was one of the most popular videos MTV had ever seen.

But MTV got so much heat for that particular video because, of course, it shows it's the story of a child who shoots himself in class.

And the video in and of itself, the one that ran, is perfect.

Pretty graphic.

It shows him blowing out his brains and then blood all over the children.

But it doesn't show the actual, like, blowing out of the brains.

But I think the ending may have been darker, the original version.

Yeah.

But the director got so much heat for that video.

He went on to do movies, I believe, but he got so much heat for that that he considered leaving the industry, leaving the music industry, like the video industry, because it was such a difficult time.

And a little fun fact, that was the last video that Pearl Jam would do for MTV or anywhere else for a very long time, for like 23 years.

They were done.
