Animated Philosophy
For those of you who are familiar with South Park and its animators, directors, producers, also voice actors, Trey Parker [Wikipedia] and Matt Stone [Wikipedia], the following movie clips shown below are created by the same co-creators of the television show.
The Flash animated clips are the audiovisual illustration and adaptation of the works of Alan Watts [Official website], a philosopher of the modern days that have earned a reputation as a foremost interpreter of Eastern philosophies for the West.
Enjoy the clips, and be inspired.

Titles from top to bottom: 1. Life and Music; 2. Prickles and Goo; 3. Appling. View more of animated works of Alan Watts here. At the mean time, read also what Trey Parker and Matt Stone have to say about liberals, conservatives, censorship, and religion.
Note: For international visitors, just in case you’ve been wondering, South Park isn’t broadcasted in Indonesia’s TV station, most of us here watch it via cable or buy South Park’s DVDs. We have The Simpsons though.
Update.
If the Shockwave Flash files aren’t working in your browser, please click ‘Watch video’ for the YouTube video versions. Video for “Appling” isn’t available unfortunately. Thanks to yuki for pointing this out.

What’s up with my comment girl? you don’t like me or what?? :P .
I dont think it was anything important. I guess i was saying;
1. interesting mixture. I like philosophy but i hardly enjoy animation. then i tried to watch one but i was too tired to enjoy it. i never watch anything like that before. back home we didn’t subscribe cable.
then OOT..
2. on the UU ITE. I guess i said..; unfortunately i don’t have enough knowledge to have strong opinion on that issue. I leave it to the expert (i’m like a housewife leaving minyak goreng price problem to the government :D ). But i enjoy reading people’s opinion including you. I also enjoy seeing Roy’s pics everywhere :)) .
I hardly have space in my head for all of my interest and hobby. Some days..I even have to struggle quiet hard to keep my heads up the whole day working with frogs and eels and snails in my lab..this is why i admire bloggers like you, Colson, Anita, Fatih, Rob, Unspun etc.., you seem to have strong opinion in any issue. amazing. how do you get enough space for everything in your head?
3. and btw, i left comment in Unspun’s blog on indonesian women debate between u and Achmad. I posted loong time ago but it was captured by aksimet.
4. The girls’ pijama party was a nice metaphor. let’s invite more girls in to the party :) !

I don’t know. They were gone while I was backing up my database and upgrading this WordPress thingie. But as I said, it wasn’t supposed to do that, quite sure you’ve read my explanation in your blog. If I deleted it on purpose, I wouldn’t say I was sorry and asked you to comment again if you like.
Sorry for the troubles. :)
