The Killers

I know it's old news, but I haven't really had the chance to gripe about how bloody annoying that Killers show was.

All i can say is "F you Big Concerts!"

What the hell where you thinking? Putting a major rock band on a little patch of grass reserved for Horsey-related activities on a back road in Paarl with only one entrance?

What?

Did you think we'd all be riding bare-back to the show and therefore not worry about the logistics of a car? Or 30 000 cars?

And apparently this exact same shit went down at Celine Dion a few years back. Fair enough, if you're a Celine Dion fan, you probably deserve that type of punishment, but it still doesn't explain why Big Concerts would attempt to use Val De F*&kin Vie again.

All I can say is that The Killers used to be a cool band, and then Big Concerts came along and ruined them. RUINED.

So I thought this to be an opportunity to drop some scientific research regarding the event.

Herewith, are my findings:

Who doesn't enjoy a cool, refreshing glass of juice once in a while?

Me? Usually mango juice on the porch.

Her?

Yeah Cape Town!

May I..

Can I...

May I... just say..., that the CCC and all the other lil government-employed busy-bees are doing a SUPERB job of transforming our city into something new and shiny.

Sure it's a bit of a ball-ache having to kamikaze through two-lane traffic cause the other two have been under construction for three years, or trying to figure out how the hell that new Green Point circle thing works without ending up at McD's, but its a ball-ache I'm willing to endure, even enjoy, to watch our city graduate to the big-time.

Have ya seen the new Green Point walkways? They're sic. You could eat your Giovani's pancheta off the tiles they so clean and new. And the overhead lights? Even Stockholmians are gonna be jealous of our public areas when they see that shit.

I'm certainly quite proud.

And that public park is gonna be the best part. I'm not really one to sit on a park bench and feed squirrels, but I'm gonna be at that park stuffing those rodents with peanuts so often, they'll be hiding the nuts in their pits and trading them for favours with the prossies.

Of course, the prossies are the ones who really benefit the most. What with the aforementioned lighting, and the pristine pavements, their showroom floor just got a glorious makeover.

And in case you havent noticed, the CCC are planting trees EVERYWHERE. Not only are male dogs and vagrants now peeing more than ever, but I've noticed a marked increase in O2. Daily.

Fascinating.

So with that I say "Kudos" to the CCC and all the other Danny Jordaan oompa loompas.

Simpsonize dem

I sure do love Simpsons. I also love hip-hop. Bring the two together, and I'll blast a little Simpson-hop load.

Sorry. That was a bit much. But I do quite like what they've done here. They all there: Snoop, Kanye, Eminem, Biggie, Easy E, Tupac, Flavor Flav, even that Fat Joe wannabe.


Look. It's not the best thing I've ever seen on the internet, but, well...ok, I'm supposed to be doing some work, and you know, just felt like not doing some work. So what? What makes you so great anyway? Judger!

Is my life sucky?

Simple. I know.

But important to remember this one. Cause sometimes you're sitting at work writing an ad for hemroids ("Kiss your hemroides goodbye."?? Maybe? Hmm. Prob wont stick.) and suddenly you sit up and think, hang on - is my life sucking right now?

The answer is no. Its just because you're writing an ad for hemroids. (I've never actually written one - just a hypothetical shituation, get it? But seriously, I've never written one.) But if you feel your life does suck, which it probably doesn't cause you own a computer and possibly an education, but if you feel it really really does, then make a little change.

My change today? I'm writing on my blog instead of writing the crappy hypothetical situation hemroid ad. It's enough of a change to improve my mood. And that, my dear, is what's important.

What a gorgeous jacket

This isn't an advertising blog and hopefully, it never will be, cause then I become just another ad hack hoping to receive some of the afterglow of other people's fine work.

But when something is funny, it's worth adding. And to me, this Ebay ad is funny.

I love the way 'Frank' comes goose-stepping into frame.
