the three winners were

3. the poor, lonely goldfish in it's completely void bowl in some office somewhere. look at it gulp.
2. the japanese kids primary school. the teacher appeared to alternate playing the piano and surfing for tentacle porn whilst the children created merry, amusing chaos around her(?). very high motion, extra points for inexplicable quilt made up of colourful sleeping bags covering half the floor... one for each kid...

its mint innit
