Thanks to the recommendation of Logboy and a few others I recently spent a day perusing the disturbing world of Monkey Dust, a compelling though incredibly bleak animation series out of the UK. Logboy dropped me a note today directing me here: a detailed review of the just-released Monkey Dust Season One DVD.
I've got to echo pretty much everything the reviewer has to say ... this is truly biting satire, very definitely not intended for children. You'll laugh, yes, but you'll also be disturbed both by what you're viewing and by how strangely familiar the source material is. The BBC has some stellar clips from the show online here and if you find those sufficiently compelling, the DVD is available here.
