My friends Tom (Ginger Tom, from England) and Sammy (Shazam, from Australia) have released the first in a series of short films called "Let's Do Colombia." Ginger Tom plays Tommo, a traditional Aussie marinating in the local culture. Or in their words:

G'day cunts.

Ever wondered about what life's like in Colombia? Of course you haven't, in fact behind The Great Wall of China, Colombia is statistically the most mysterious country on earth.

So sit down, shut up and fucken learn with "Let's Do Colombia," the cultural travel show that "does" countries so you cunts at home don't have to.

Watch with giddy amazement as Tommo from Tumbarumba totally immerses himself in this land where you can't move for all the fucken culture. We'll learn all there is to learn about how life is in Colombia from the national sport to salsa dancing to street mime all set to a blazing soundtrack from the heavyweights of Australian rock.

"Let's Do Colombia" is coming cunts. Get in to it, anyway you can.

They premiered this episode at a party last weekend, where they told me how happy they were that I showed up, as my opinion of the show is the only one that matters. Not that I have such exquisite taste - it's just part of my official duties as the unofficial gringo ambassador.

You might say, but wait, I already have a Lonely Planet Colombia, what do I need Tommo for? Turns out, the guy who wrote Lonely Planet Colombia just made it up from home, which explains why it's known here as the Lying Planet (this is delightfully true and actually quite appropriate on a certain level). So turn on the YouTube and enjoy Colombia from the perspective of someone who's actually been there:
