If you’re old enough, you may remember a show on M-Net in the early 90′s called, Dinosaurs. It didn’t last too long, due mainly to it not being very good, but like every sitcom (yes even those featuring large animatronic dinosaurs) there is the odd funny moment.

One that always springs to mind was an episode in which the 2-legged dinosaurs go to war with the 4-legged dinosaurs over the rights to Pistachio Trees – read land, mines, human rights in our context. The 2-legs even have a handy catchprase, “We Are Right or W.A.R”. As it develops the show’s main protagonist, Earl – who is a 2-legger, develops a conscience and crosses over to the other side with his own handy catchphrase, “Pistachio Eaters Against The Chief Elder or P.E.A.C.E”. The whole thing ends with the Chief Elder who started it all recanting his position when he starts to lose popularity over the death toll.

And the whole point of the episode is that all this arguing and fighting has actually been manufactured as a distraction from actual domestic issues such as it being an election year and government suppression of information. (more…)

After the Great Celebrity Cull of June 2009, headlined by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, and a c0uple of near misses [Joost] The ANCYL has jumped on the bandwagon amidst rumours of Julis Malema having been shot.

In true grassy knoll fashion, the intellectual  midget Floyd Sivambu had it all covered quite neatly thank you very much.

ANC Youth League president Julius Malema “is not shot and will not be shot by anyone”.

So says league spokesperson Floyd Shivambu, who is less than impressed with rumours that Malema had stopped a bullet at some point over the past two weeks.

In an irate statement at the weekend, Shivambu said: “We would like to send out a very strong warning against those spreading the rumour, or intending to commit such an odious act, that they will never succeed.

“The ANCYL will do everything in its power to protect our president.

“We will investigate and expose the shenanigans that are spreading this rumour and decisively deal with them.”

Genius! Never say never Floyd. Also its has not been shot, not ‘is shot’.

Malema was “worried and concerned” about the rumours, Shivambu told The Star on Sunday.

“No one likes to hear that they have been shot,” he said.

You can say that again.
