For those familiar with the car wreck of a game show that is Brain Box on e-TV, take a leisurely stroll over to BangersAndNash to read an accurate portrayal of the frustration and anguish endured by millions of South Africans every weekend.
Besides the fact that this seems to have replaced the regular soft-core pornography which is such a staple of so many South African households - we do enjoy the most orgasms after all - it’s made even worse by the fact that there is more chance of bumping into Derek Watts at Asoka than there is of actually winning a f**king prize on the show.
We don’t often talk about politics over here, mainly because we don’t really know much about it, and it would just be silly - a bit like Donald Trump talking about braiding hair, or George W Bush talking about the war on terror. (See what I just did there?)
Seeing as it’s Thursday however, which in Latin means “woman vice-president”, I thought it only fitting that we talk about Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-president nominee and John McCain’s official running mate. Since she was introduced to the media a few weeks ago, she helped McCain’s pull back the lead on Democrat candidate Barack Obama, who up until that point had been giving him a solid rogering in the opinion polls for the upcoming American presidential elections.
Sarah Palin - Not A Jogging Partner, But A Running Mate.
Unfortunately for the Republicans, it seems as if Sarah Palin is a little bit out of her depth, something which became apparent after a couple of disasterous interviews, clips of which are now flooding the “internet”.
Here she is in an interview with the CBS anchor Katie Couric, who puts Palin over her knee and gives her a damn good hiding, as she flounders around trying to answer some tough questions.
That last line just sums it up for me. “I’ll… try and find you some and bring ‘em to ya.” she says sheepishly when Couric probes her for more detail about McCain’s history of policy reforms.
This interview was then brilliantly and viciously parodied by Tina Fey and the Saturday Night Live crew. The clip was on YouTube but it’s since been pulled off. You can view it on the NBC website though, trust me, do yourself a favour and check it out by clicking here.
Just think, if the Republicans win and John McCain dies in office (quite possible, as he was born when dinosaurs still roamed the earth) Sarah Palin would become the commander-in-chief of the most powerful nation in the world.
