Taste? We are talking about the game that has 'carnals' - the psychic
monsters that attempt to re-enact rapes. On that scale, filming a
rotting body doesn't even hit the squick meter.
For a why: it is disturbing and messes with people's perception of death
and entertainment. It combines "Rest In Peace" with the constant need
for stimulation of our modern society. Watching paint dry - watching
grandma rot - even in the grave we can't escape from the television's eye.
For a how: Imagine a Videomancer who works out a way to 1) film himself
after death and 2) get it on the air. Maybe he can rake in the major
charges while a demon? Can he make "The Rotting Videomancer" a
prime-time hit?
