me@MTV: The strange intersection of "Grand Theft Auto" and Grant Morrison's toilet (plus... what in the world is "Citizen Death"?)

Have you read Grant Morrison's comics? He's written a lot of interesting stuff. Take you pick: "The Invisibles," "The Filth," "All-Star Superman," "New X-Men," "Doom Patrol," "Seaguy," "Seven Soldiers," and on and on and on.
The man writes interesting stuff.
And he really likes video games (just not the Wii, which he dogged to me for a bit when I interviewed him).
So why has he only worked on two games that are considered mediocre at best?
Why did he once assume video game writing would be a big part of his career? And what made him change his mind?
What is his unpublished game called "Citizen Death"?
How might he save video game movies?
And what's the deal with his toilet bowl and "Grand Theft Auto"?
There's one answer to all of this and it is: "Don't expect me to tell you, but you can find out yourself if you click on this MTV News link right here.
Read it and you'll even find out why Grant believes that "Games are just a leading edge of something the human race is about to do." That's almost as good as a slogan as the one the milk people have to get people hyped up about milk.
