Crazy laughing people with hyena heads, Tommy guns, booze and women so well-endowed that they have to balance their assets on dinner trays with wheels – this little acid trip of an animated viral vid has it all. Seeded by London-based The 7th Chamber, it’s to promote the first novel from James Palumbo called Tomas.

Okay…maybe that’s not true, but we could probably do without the cackling hyenas.
