SABC 3 Sport - Living In La La Land

It was Monday night, The Girlfriend had a headache and flat out refused to touch my feet, and so the evening was thus spent looking for pics of South African singer / poet Candice Hillebrand in skimpy underwear, as I've always had a thing for her since her KTV days.


The Girlfriend - Refusing To Touch Shaun's Feet

This little activity didn't last very long, as nothing is as good as getting a foot massage from The Girlfriend, so I slumped on the couch and went through the television channels, in the vain hope of finding a film containing softcore pornography.

Naturally I found myself on SABC 3, where I was startled to find an advert boasting that "English Premier League football was now on SABC".

Intrigued by this, I stuck around and decided to watch their little show, which comprised a studio with a presenter and two analysts.

"What game are they showing," I wondered aloud. As far as I could tell, there were no scheduled Premier League games for that night. Then they excitedly announced the game - Chelsea vs Derby, causing me to drop my whiskey tumbler and choke on my rather stiff Jameson.

SABC Sport were showing a game on Monday night, which actually occurred the previous Saturday.

They were PRETENDING that the game hadn't kicked off yet, and were actually making predictions about what COULD HAPPEN later on in the game.


SABC Sport - Taking It's Viewers For A P**s

Very clever guys, that's like me predicting on the Tuesday after the World Cup Rugby final, that I THINK the Springboks will win 15 - 6. Or like a New Yorker having lunch on the 13th September 2001 and thinking, "You know, I just have a bad feeling about something".

So just to clarify, you're going to show a football game TWO DAYS late and pretend that it's LIVE?

And you actually paid R93 million rand a year for this?

Baie slim, mense.
