FOTR "Easter Egg"

Has anyone else seen this? On the extended edition Fellowship of the Ring DVD (4 discs) there is an easter egg. If you go to scene selections on disc 1, and go to the very last scene, The Council OF Elrond, and then select the down arrow one more time, the One Ring will appear next to where it says "new scene." Hit select and you will see Peter Jackson introducing an MTV spoof of the Council of Elrond starring Sarah Michelle Geller and Jack Black.

WARNING: You may want to watch this yourself before letting your children watch it. It's not too too bad, but there is some scandalous, if not precisely sexual content. I didn't know this, and called my 7 year old son in to watch it - and then quickly shooed him out again! :oops: :oops: :oops: :fim: :fim: :fim:

There`s also another little "surprise" on Disc 2 - go to scene 48 (Official Fan Club Credits) and arrow down. You will see a small icon appear on the bottom left of the screen (Towers). Press enter and you will see the theatrical preview of TTT that was played at the end of FOTR during the last week in the theatres.
I saw FOTR seven times but did not get to see the preview of TTT. It shows a few images that were not in the theatrical version of TTT but these images may be in the extended DVD.
A nice little Easter gift from PJ. :D

That's a hysterical spoof. I feel kinda sorry that it could fit, however!
