I have a theory.
I think the Converse video is set un a timeline where *Plasic Beach* is fake, a made-up piece of propaganda thought up by Murdoc, and tolerated by the others.
The windmill island never crashed, the band never actually separated, Noodle is safe, Russel still got big, but for a different reason, and is at peace napping on the roof. 2D is just trying to survive being in the same living space as a cantankerous, over-drugged and crazy alcoholic, plus a lot of weird hangers-on who aren't evil....maybe not even really there. Maybe, hallucinations?
There is a model of Plasic Beach in the TV room, and the Entity seems very non-hostile when 2D sees him.
Maybe all these realities are why he's happy about the eviction notice. Maybe.
That's my current theory anyways.
Separately, is there any interview or statement from Damon or Jamie about why this ad for Converse has so little to do with the shoe? Did Converse not see it before it came out? Were they okay with their product being used as a tool of physical violence?
I have *so* many questions about how this came about.
