Käytöskukka ("Behaviour Blossom") was a Finnish 13-part series of didactic short animations made with cutout technique; created by Heikki Partanen (1942-1990) in 1966 and 1967, intending to teach good manners to children. The series, which was like "Seven Deadly Sins for Infants", had every episode starring a domestic piglet called Hinku and a wild piglet called Vinku, encountering such surreal creatures as the angry Suursyömäri (might be translated as "Gargantuan Eater") who devours everything coming its way, and other characters behaving, for example, in a lazy or vain way but learning some valuable lesson in each episode's end. South Park this was not. And the theme music is a classic, too!

    múm: 'They Made Frogs Smoke 'Til They Exploded'


    múm: 'They Made Frogs Smoke 'Til They Exploded' (2007)

    múm is an Icelandic experimental group formed in 1997, known for some interesting albums like Finally We Are No One (2002). This beautifully disturbing video (a fair warning should be added here if you're a sensitive person) is for their single "They Made Frogs Smoke 'Til They Exploded", preceding the new album Go Go Smear The Poison Ivy (24 September '07).
