The husband and wife team of Japanese animators known as Uruma Derubi produce cartoons for Fuji TV children shows. Their creations include “a talking tapeworm that comes out of a person’s ass and spouts a quote by Pascal, walking mandarin oranges from outer space that squeak and do stuff and a talking turd who juts out of a toilet to impart philosophy etc.” Here’s two examples of their totally twisted art, ‘Poop Genie’ and ‘Bottom Biting Bug’. Japanese kids love this stuff. And so do I.

The Blindness Of The Woods by Swedish writers and directors Martin Jaljen and Javier Lourence is the strangest video I’ve seen in quite awhile. Of course large sock puppets getting it on is something you don’t see everyday…which is probably as it should be. Suddenly my sweater is starting to look sexy.

A blind woman living in the woods. The winter is cold, especially when you are alone. Then, one day a blond, strong woodcutter knocks on her door. And her senses revive, as she rediscovers the joys of love and sex.

Today is The Day Of The Dead.

This wonderful claymation short Hasta Los Huesos directed by René Castillo tells the tale of a man who dies and ends up in the land of the dead where the party never stops. Castillo was clearly inspired by the art of Jose Posada. Hasta Los Huesos features music by Café Tacuba,

Nicola Black: Mesh Digital Animation

Mesh was a digital animation scheme that brought together a diverse range of talented, young animators, who created twenty-seven award-winning works between 2000-07. Produced by Nicola Black, in conjunction with Channel 4 and Nesta, Mesh was a neat idea, one that is typical of Black’s imaginative and uniquely original approach to program-making

It was also the kind of series that benefited TV, as it allowed anyone to submit an idea, script and storyboard for consideration, out of this a short list was drawn-up, from which 4 animators were chosen to develop and make their films. The scheme also involved seminars and courses, where the animators worked with established film-makers and script-writers to develop their projects.

Amongst the animators were Grant Orchard, whose Welcome to Glaringly was voiced by Little Britain’s Matt Lucas; James Merry who went onto work on Monkey Dust; Darren Price, who animated the true story of a bear who loved vodka; Yasmeen Ismail who made a simple animation about size and shape before going on to form Sweetworld and Rhumbaba: John Butler who created his clever, idiosyncratic consumerist fable; Stephen Cavalier who crafted a homage to 1950s sci-fi; and Neil Coslett, whose Killing Time at Home was used by Placebo as a back projection on their recent tour. All of have gone on to bigger and better things, but Mesh was where it all started. Here is a small selection of some of these animations.

Official Vatican newspaper has declared that Homer Simpson is a Catholic in good standing

I was born into Catholicism. Can I be un-baptised? These fuckers are nuts.

The official Vatican newspaper has declared that beer-swilling, doughnut-loving Homer Simpson and son Bart are Catholics — and what’s more, it says that parents should not be afraid to let their children watch “the adventures of the little guys in yellow.”
“Few people know it, and he does everything to hide it. But it’s true: Homer J. Simpson is Catholic,” the Osservatore Romano newspaper said in an article on Sunday headlined “Homer and Bart are Catholics.”

If Jesus were alive he’d probably find this hysterical…and pathetic.
