The holidays: Drunken driving, filthy sluts, newspaper editors are completely nuts

A post for Wednesday because I dont think I will have my computer with me then

Strange headline I just made up. Don’t ask.

Over the past two weeks or so I had this fascination with reading the newspaper placards hanging from lampposts on the street. At times it has been dangerous as I have not been concentrating on piloting the VR3 in a straight line. Anyway, I picked out four of them to show you and here they are:

“Tik mom pulls drip out of baby” (Peoples Post)

“Tik kop steek hond” (Die Son)

“Flats vrou skinned alive”- Cape Sun (Oh my fuck, I don’t even want to read the story)

“Dial a drug straight to your door”- Cape Sun

The holidays are supposed to be a fun time where the laughter (the irritating laughter) of the neighbours red haired stepchild bellows through the ‘hood. Where people laugh when they realise they are so broke that they can’t even afford transport to get to work next year. Where people do so many drugs and drink so much booze that they forget who they actually are and what they are doing on earth. That’s what the holidays should be like. Drugs should make people funnier, not make them want to kill things. Well I suppose that’s in an ideal world. So next time you are cruising the ‘hood in the Pimp ‘Mobile, look out for these signs, remember this article and smile. Just keep your eyes on the road.
