Some online viewing tips. A series of five minute cartoons from Cartoon Network Mexico featuring masked wrestling superhero El Santo. Pretty nicely done, in a sleek Batman and Teen Titans sort of way. Santo battles mummies and clones in Mexico, D.F. In Spanish (as if that would stop you).
Via WFMU's blog, a preview of The Found Footage Festival, a compendium of stupid home videos, foul mouthed outtakes and tantrums, and incredibly violent training tapes. Entertaining and enlightening.
And lastly, one definitely not for the kiddies. Via Warren Ellis, a cheaply and crudely animated version of a Tijuana Bible, featuring a third-rate Bugs Bunny rip-off, cartoon animals as sailors and pirates, naked cartoon women, moronic racial sterotypes, and a whole bunch of squishy sex. Who the hell made this cartoon? It looks like it was made in the '60s or '70s, probably made for stag parties or smokers. Despite its crude look and sub-Hanna-Barbara animation, it looks somewhat professional -perhaps a lark produced by easily amused (or bored) animators in between jobs. An interesting cultural artifact, I suppose. Probably not worksafe.
