ANC, with 15 million votes and new warships, frightened by cartoon

PRETORIA. Party insiders have confirmed that despite having a guaranteed two-thirds majority in the next election, the entire GDP at its disposal, R30-billion worth of high-tech weaponry, and complete control of the national broadcaster, the ANC has been “badly frightened” by a controversial cartoon by Jonathan Shapiro depicting the rape of South Africa’s justice system by Jacob Zuma.

It was the first time Luthuli House has gone to ‘Mshini Wami 4′, the previous highest being ‘Mshini Wami 2′, declared in 2006 after Zuma had his account with Amazon.com suspended over late payment for a consignment of books which included the collected works of Freud and an illustrated beginner’s guide to the work of Germaine Greer….

Shebeen, I think its just you dude.

I can’t understand how you don’t find it charming. Stop looking for bi-lines and just appreciate it for its clean fun and easy jokes. Its really not that hard. Basically, I think of it like this:

B5 was created as the opposite end of Ditwits and Urban Trash, the lighter side of Jeremy’s humour. Its not as dark, to be sure, but I think thats where he’s winning.
