Ma, the Sane of Manic Norway

Since getting a high speed connection and discovering the Internet only three years ago, I've become a great fan of animutation, particuarly of the work of Andrew Kepple and the rest of Too Much Spare Time. The definition for this dubious art form isn't a rigid one, but they usually involve strange pop-culture images animated to cheery foreign music, with the amount of sense they make varying from "DC Cooper lyrics" to "The Junior Honours Logic course". Often the foreign lyrics are re-interpreted in to the English words that they sound vaguely like, and the visuals illustrate the new "mutated" lyrics. It's quite a hard thing to describe, but there are plenty of examples in my OddThings folder if you're priveleged/unlucky enough to have access to my shared files.

Often, after watching a particular animutation, it's hard to imagine any genuine video of the victimised song being any stranger than the parody version. However, every time I think this, I am proved very wrong indeed. This is what happens in countries where cannabis is legalised.

And this is the first time I've made three entries in a day since October last year.
