We just received this pics from one of our grasses, and it spurred me to write a short post about a rising trend amongst South Africans to take the piss / laugh about the political tensions / idiosyncrasies of some of our most prominent ministers / politicians or even presidents.

Thanks to Mr Visage, and an E-TV journalist, there has been a swell in music remix’s / t-shirts / creative ad’s / sayings & slogans … so at least they are sparking creative talent across various fields (when they are not just F*U&#$in things up).

I had the privilege of being at an event on Tues with Riaad Moosa, well known South African Comedian, and got chatting to him backstage just before he went on to do his set. He said “You know with all this KUK that is going on with our country at the moment, its very important to stay positive…” What better way than to laugh about it! Local comedians have a field day when they come up with their material, they don’t have to look offshore, they got a gold mine of material right here… “in this revolutionary house!”

Now days, one can’t walk down the street without hearing someone shout “You Bloody Agent!” … or “Dont touch me on my studio!”. As the battle continues between Julius & Mr Visagie in terms of which slogan gets the most airtime on local radio stations, we as South Africans just enjoy the flurry of creative talent pouring out as they take a jab at the RIDICULOUSNESS of it all!

With that in mind…

Stay postive. Stay cool…. “Dont Touch me ON my Studio!”

I will leave you with the latest remix to hit youtube…
