Chunk and Misery

To Mr Julius Malema, all your supporters, and to all supporters of the AWB: Shut up, please keep your mouths shut for just a few months so that the working class of South Africa can enjoy the economic and entertainment benefits of the World Cup tournament in June. South Africans have somehow come to understand and tolerate Malema’s actions and all the unintelligible bilge that spews from the hole in the front of his face, and we now have to deal with some crazy white guys from a political party that had all but disappeared into the caves of history years ago, and should in most peoples opinion stay there as long as possible. As fantastic as it may feel to scream and shout like neanderthals, the pictures featured here are a direct result of your irresponsible and childish rants. Now of course I understand this particular publication to be a shameless tabloid, possibly the worst of the worst, but it will have a huge effect on the opinions of those coming to visit our country in the next few, extremely important months. Now I know that most South Africans are in the habit of sitting about over a few beers and complaining of the seemingly insurmountable pile of “problems” our country has facing us, but for just a while, just keep a lid on it, every place in the world has their issues and you would find them and complain about similar things if you were living in any other country.

To the ANCYL and the AWB, please, no one is really sure how a bunch of imbeciles were put into positions of power in the first place, but if you could do us all a favour and show some respect by having a more responsible attitude especially coming up to such an incredibly important milestone in the development of our country.

There is no bloodbath, all of us living here know there will be no bloodbath, those who plan on committing any crime during this time know they will be swiftly dealt with. I had the pleasure of driving past the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban during December and it is looking magnificent as are all the other stadia in the country. Excitement is high, business is booming and everyone is trying their best to cut their very own slice of the 2010 pie. It’s a great place to be and will be an even greater place to be during the month of June and hopefully we can completely avoid any more of these damaging media headlines.

Well that’s it just thought I would try my best to give some of our country’s international visitors a slightly different view of where they may or may not choose to visit, something a little bit different than the massively sensationalized views those who need to sell some extra papers may, too eagerly, decide to put across to everyone and hopefully have them realise that this big commotion is being caused by a very small group of very angry, bitter and all encompassingly stupid people with a little too much Johnny Walker on their breathe. Hopefully we will see some comments to back me up.

Enjoy 2010.

I’m am a little annoyed about a story I was just sent that was printed in a Durban newspaper, covering a punk show that took place at the Burn night club a few weeks back. I’m not planning on writing a long winded pile of

:(

rubbish to knock out the weak bits of her article and waste my own time, but I do feel that that the sort of crap she regurgitated onto her keyboard to come off as a smart modern journalist and to boost her name as a quirky and controversial creative is a disgrace. Claire Angelique’s comments on the performance of one of Johannesburg’s local punk rock bands as being racist and fascist completely shocked me, as it seems the closer you edge to the age of 30 the more your brain atrophies until there is almost nothing to speak of.

She is an award winning journalist and I have read that she is currently working on a film in the role of director, and so I would think that having grown up in an environment of creativity, often fueled by different types of anger, sadness, happiness and discontent she would have a little more respect for herself in writing something so completely all-emcompassingly retarded in an attempt to sell a couple extra copies of a paper to old people, I am giving you this opportunity, Claire, to come forth and apologise for polluting our minds with your unending stupidity, and for the low low crime of attempting to sell papers by linking a political party and the colour of a human beings skin, I quote “two black kid from a local band sheepishly left the mosh pit”, this was after the band The Mean

The Mean Streets

Streets spat some venom at our ruling government party, Julias Malema, the embarrassing leader of the ANC Youth League, and Jacob Zuma.

Claire, we understand that this must have been a bit of a hard month for you, but stooping this low to gun down a couple of drunk guys looking for a party and saying what they think is no excuse to try and fill your pockets with a bit more chump change.

If “our generation needs a voice” so badly I am inviting you to be that, and not to expect a punk band to deliver a higher level of social responsibility than you can as the esteemed journalist you have been made out to be. “Our generation”, is not you, you are now an old woman who has made the terrible mistake of choosing subject matter that will only hurt her image later, and boost the

publicity of the band, leaving you a lucrative and fulfilling career path as the 702 Talk radio tea lady, giving back scratches to Jenny Crwys-Williams during ad breaks while she reduces you to something even more shameful and boring than you have already become. I have heard of another article you excreted covering your idea of the “Point of hardcore” which I absolutely cannot wait to begin reading before stopping and using as bog roll.

If I could ask you one favour, please stay out of the places that play music you don’t like, and if for some reason you do find yourself straying from the garden of uselessness and shame from where you draw your unholy powers, leave your bad bad attitude and your pen at home, because negative feedback is the last thing needed in a scene already battling to survive. And remember the golden rule: YOU DON”T HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT.
