Let Honey and Bunny show you how to “spank the MP”

Spank the MP. Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? Don’t choke the poor chicken anymore; at least that’s what Coco de Mer‘s Sam Roddick is telling me this morning in my inbox. She writes,

At Coco de Mer we not only make it our mission to bring you inspiration and infinite enjoyment but we have also always made sure that all our products are made ethically, with consideration to environmental and human rights. Many of the ethics on which I have based Coco de Mer have been inspired by my Mum and Dad, Anita and Gordon, who founded The Body Shop. They were passionate about ethical business and held the belief that if enough ordinary people get together they can change things.

In memory of my Mum, my Dad has started 38 Degrees to keep her “just do something” style alive. 38 Degrees is free to join, and will hold politicians and others in power to account in the UK by giving you easy ways to make an impact on the issues you care about.

I now ask you to take action with me and join www.38degrees.org.uk/. I think you will like the first campaign which is a demand to whip those naughty politicians into shape by demanding a new “recall law” to give us all the right to call a fresh vote and sack disgraced MPs. Only by making MPs answer to us properly can we start to take the sleaze out of politics, so please take action with me to put people back in charge of this country and our politicians.

This is a pretty UK-centric message (they have an active blog, too), but what’s really got me excited is Coco’s return *this week* of Honey and Bunny: In my opinion, it’s one of the sexiest non-explicit short films ever made. It was offline while it toured in film festivals but is now back online, thanks to Coco de Mer. If you like this, you’ll also love their brand-new short Eva Midgley’s ‘Matryoshka’ (awesomely with music by Dave Stewart; link is to all of Coco’s hot short films).
