I am protesting...

Today is Black Tuesday. I am dressed in black to protest the proposed bill.
"The National Press Club (NPC) has asked people opposed to the bill to wear black clothing or a black ribbon or armband to express their opposition to the bill."

Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself.  It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.  ~Potter Stewart

The slime we call politicians

I am sick of politicians, especially the South African variety, we have a corrupt system that allows politicians to "walk over" to another party.
This makes for disgust and contempt by voters, we vote for Mr X and he wins his election just to cross over at a later stage when the other party winks at him.
This system brings out the slime in politicians who at best are the lowest of the low as far as I am concerned.
Anyone can be a politician and the pay and perks are astronomical, as far as I know we are the only country that gives medical benefits to politicians and pays them a pension when they get voted out!
It sucks...

What other typo's are in the closet?

"In an apparent typing error, Public Enterprises Minister Alec Erwin told Parliament that bonuses of about R37m were paid out last year."
After reading this I am left wondering what other typing errors have been happening? Maybe Mbeki and the rest of parlament's 50% pay increase is also a typo and should be 5%? I doubt that though...

Hacking a phisher!

fnb.co.za/main.html Dont go there!
I clicked on the link on the fake bank e-mail you keep sending me and where did I end up?
On a 404 error, so clearly you have already altered your Phishing site but hey... not every day you piss of one of the Elders Of The Net now is it! So nice one fucktards! Now I know who you are. Do not be surprised if a few rough gents come knocking at your door one morning between midnight and dawn... oh by the way they will have mates at your back door as well and maybe a sniper across the street.
More to follow as we sniff out the trail of these vermin.

Ethics? What about abortion you morons?

When this bunch of righteous morons criticise the unethical murdering of unborn children then they will have the right to go after Dr Basson, who as far as I could establish has quite a big number of patients that swear by him. I really think this is a witch hunt of ethical proportion...

Digg is digging it's own grave...

by letting this happen. I for one will never use Digg, especially after this episode. I am not even going to post the link but let you see the wiki about it... speaking of Wiki...
This is similar to what is happening on Wiki with anything related to islam or Cuba. The pro islam/cuban contributors are online 24/7 monitoring these articles and as soon as the correct information gets posted it gets changed again. This is one of the dangers of the Internet and open forums. You always get hijacked... just like South Africa really so that is why I feel so at home on the web... it is just like walking down to the mall...
I could get mugged, knifed, shot, or get there in one piece, it just depends what moonbat is out at that hour...

But for the grace of God

there goes my daughter... I was checking out the news lately and all this craziness over Britney shaving her head and all got me thinking... I think all her family and fans should get on their knees and start praying for her because she is having a breakdown. The pressure of the media is a terrible thing, she cannot move without being in the lens of photograpers or from my view the jackals of the press. To me she is saying "You wanna see shocking! well watch what I do next!"
Maybe this is the idolarity of our age? With the true victims being the Idolised?

FDA Award goes to South African Parliamentarians of all shades

for showing up like peacocks at a ball... since when is the opening of Parliament a fashion show?
Even the leader of the ACDP was dressed in a lime green Tux!
Politicians are the bane of the citizenry...
At least some job's were created but the picture I got was "Here I am, flush with the taxpayers money!"

Shame on you Vodacom!

This is SPAM in my book... oh and by the way the frikkenMeercat sucks... and I am not alone.
"Though conventional wisdom has it that spamming is illegal, Leon Perlman, chairperson of the Wireless Applications Service Provider Association (Waspa), says current legislation is weak concerning the issue. "The legislation doesn't define spam clearly. It only refers to unsolicited commercial communications," Perlman says.
According to section 45 of the ECT Act, anyone who sends unsolicited commercial communications to consumers must provide the consumer with the option to cancel his/her subscription to the mailing list. (pretty plain and clear meaning to me.) The sender must also disclose the source from which they obtained the consumer's personal information if requested by the consumer."
What is not clear? Unsolicited is unsolicited i.e. SPAM you dunces! And then to have the temerity to charge the customer to unsubscribe from something they did not ask for is CRIMINAL!
If MTN does that too me they will be in court the next day. So far they have not gone down the slippery slope that Vodacom has.

FDA goes to Jackie Selebi...

and his connections to crime via his friendship with arrested murder suspect Glen Agliotti, who has bee suspected of shady dealings in the past. He should resign...
"I've never denied my relationship with Glenn. Never. It has never been a secret," Selebi told Johannesburg's The Star daily on Friday. "I don't know of his alleged criminality. He did not tell me about it."
Yeah right...
It is time that all the rotten wood be cut out of the SAPS, starting with the top as far as I am concerned.
