Hi, Steve (Cabbin' It Up) Polta.
I believe the Animal Charm guys brought that tape to light.

I haven't been following this discussion too closely
but there is a jawdroppingly bizarre training tape
from Wendy's I believe featuring rap music (think MC
Hammer), animated burgers and this crazy Flavor Flav
type dude learning the biz. I dunno where to get it
but I think it was actually screning festivals maybe
five years ago.

If you can find it, Grady Sain's video BANJO GIRO (is
this what it's called?) is a very weird, great,
disturbing animated work about a crew of folks working
fast food--perpetual nighttime, bad dream, existential
video game. Good luck.
