18+ (This program contains offensive material)
Crazed, weird, extreme or just impossible to explain
plots – a boggling compendium of the wildest animated ideas
horse whipped up to warp speed and transponded back from parallel
universes.
It’s a fairly eclectic mix with something
to offend and entertain in fairly equal measure so sit back, buckle
up and check out this collection of porn loving popes, psychotic
giggling farmers, animals getting their heads ripped off, some lesbian
couch action, vegie races and psychedelic amoeba sex. |

Her Lovely Fears

With a hefty nod to a kind of digital

close to your neighbours. |
