I could not help but laughing at this image when I saw it. It does take a special kind of stupid to pull this EPIC FAIL off!

Kulula strike back!

DChetty — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 11:19:04 +0000

It was a sad day for South Africa when FIFA slapped Kulula for the “You Know What” campaign. Details can be found on this TimesLive article.

Today, Kulula strikes back with another brilliant mockery ad that will once again give Kulula the edge in humorous advertising that we have come to love from them.

With Jay Z proving to be quite a player, it was only a matter of time until the Sith lord jokes started!

Blue Light Bullies!

With the latest incident of a UCT student being arrested, possibly molested too (we iwll never know), for displaying rude gestures at the presidential convoy recently in Cape Town as Jay Z and his parade of fancy German cars sped past him, the folk at Madam & Eve have released this cartoon:

Malema strikes back!

Julius Malema, the ANC Youth League big boy has proven to be quite a clown and you have to love the guy for it!

Zapiro captures him excellently in his latest work and if you have been following the local Malema news lately, you will see why Zapiro is the shizzle and makes the big money and your cartoons don’t go anywhere!

Batman during the 2010 Soccer World Cup!

DChetty — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 05:18:51 +0000

It seems like Batman will be watching the South African 2010 Soccer World Cup games as well and has prepped a Batsign incase you try to get hold of him. I recommend that you leave him alone though!

Tweeting habits that will get you unfollowed/blocked!

DChetty — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 05:22:28 +0000

While Twitter continues to explode to become the popular social web service that it already is, many people find it a new experience and are still unaware of the basic etiquette that has become expected of fellow Twits.

This is list not comprehensive, but is definitely a starting point for listing tweeting habits that will result in you being unfollowed or blocked.

Auto-DMs

The popularity of auto-DM’s has definitely died down and it was a lot worse a short while ago, but there are still a few schmucks who have these set up. They are annoying, impersonal and spam. Whether your auto-DM is to welcome me to your Twitter stream as a new follower or to get me to read your blog, this habit will get you unfollowed. No negotiating this one!

Consistent requests to become your Facebook friend

Why would I? I mean really! Facebook is a bit more personal for me than Twitter and I want to keep it for my friends and family. Even though the word “friend” is slightly screwed up on Twitter, I have at least met each of my friends and I know who they are and I trust them enough to share personal information, photos, videos, etc.

Consistent tweets about “How to get more followers”

I am not sure when this became a competition. I believe that people who value my tweets, will follow me, those who don’t, simply don’t follow me. I will not go out SEARCHING for followers like the Jehovah’s Witness chaps that disturb my Sunday afternoon. They annoy me and so do those tweets!

Retweeting my tweets, but replacing the URLs that I share

By doing so, you are “putting words into my mouth”. I hate it, its rude and most times your links are spam. No-one likes a spammer. Really, we don’t!

Get rich quick schemes

Seriously dude, you probably don’t make $100 000 per month so stop telling us that you can make us rich. Most of us believe in hard work and think that the easy road works. It’s just lame and you are annoying! We don’t WANT to listen to sad stories of you wanting to share your wealth. If you have spare cash and don’t want it anymore, give it charity, idiot

Zapiro – Athens – SA Olympics Bid!

DChetty — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:47:13 +0000

This is by far the funniest cartoon that I have ever seen!

It was done by South African cartoonist, Zapiro a few years ago when Cape Town lost the Olympic bid to Athens.

I also credit this cartoon for turning me into a Zapiro fan and have often blogged some of his cartoons here!

Potholes!

DChetty — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:22:16 +0000

This is brilliant and I think that we should get one of these!

Thanks Steve!
