DR. MORI’S TELESHOPPING > 2008, Spiros Jacovides, Greece, 6 min Dr. Mori, a Japanese psychologist, is selling his brand new, Hi-Tech, revolutionary, completely automatic, state of the art HARAKIRI-KIT for the whole family!

NINJAS PROTEST A PIRATE FESTIVAL > 2008, Jeremy Corray, USA, 3 min To promote our feature film comedy project “Full-Time Ninjas”, we thought it would be funny to protest a local pirate festival. Little did we know it would turn into gang warfare. People got hurt.
