Absurdist Learn Russian flash cartoon. Why do all the Russian-themed flash installations I find on the internet suffer from patchy-as-hell grammar? Also, from a sort of deliberate pointlessness, an intentional futility. (Do you remember the tomato-picking applet?)

Since I don't really understand the point of all these Russian Flash applets, I figured that they were a sort of Russian humor.

STOP PRESS!!!
I finished the apple picking applet thing. Am I really the first?
You have to look out for an orangey-brown tomato. When you crush that, the tank turns the same colour, and when the wombats go to eat...
They tell the farmer to be more careful - how can he expect them to eat rotten tomatoes? He admonishes them for living parasitically - 'you Australians are so lazy' - and tells them that everyone must contribute to society.
The wombats congregate briefly to discuss matters, and then one of them rolls a tomato to the farmer - a gesture gravid with significance.
That's it, just THE END screen left.
Do I win a prize?

Your prize is a rotten tomato, which is heading your way by first-class post even as I write this.
