[...] sort of funny things are always happening on SA TV. Who could forget the unfortunate “Chairman” Nhlanhla Nene incident, for example? But while Mnr Visagie is (sadly) very much a South African entity, live [...]

[...] and I’m pretty sure it’s something that I will always enjoy coming back to, like Nhlanhla Nene falling off his chair, mid-interview. I know a lot of people are going to click that link and relive that 23 second [...]

Funny! LOL .. and lookie: I mean, the guy was smiling as the chair cracked, so it was faintly amusing to him as it occurred. But I think it was too much for him that the rest of the world got to laugh too. But if you can't laugh at yourself, then you shouldn't be in that job, right?

And that he is a "Chairperson" Hee Hee - there I go again! The funny part is the look of panic in his eyes! Ordinarylife´s last blog post was: This is soooooo embarrassing to admit. (Note: 6000 miles... is not responsible for the content of external internet sites)

I put this video on my blog and not ONE person of my (largely) American readership even commented! I mean, come on! This is funny! Does this mean that Americans are too politically correct to admit laughing at a black man? If so, they’re missing the point. It’s not funny because he’s black, it’s funny because his chair broke on live TV!

It was the cracking sounds that I appreciated. Ah well. Goblin´s last blog post was: The evil eye of the past (Note: 6000 miles... is not responsible for the content of external internet sites)

what a sad state of affairs. I think this is exactly what our country needs--more laughs... perhaps we can sap away some of the anger... a bit off topic but did you ever notice how angry people are in SA? you dont move to quicly over an intersection-they get angry... you superimpose their pictures on a naked body and they get angry.... they fall off a chair in public and they get angry... what the eff?

Dunno, Manto sometimes made me want to cry. Po´s last blog post was: Es'kia Mphahlele has died. (Note: 6000 miles... is not responsible for the content of external internet sites)

Here is an interesting fact. Do you realise that the first cracking sound is made exactly as he says the word "digest"? A little ironic I feel. He should be made a national hero really, South Africans need something to laugh about these days I feel. Po´s last blog post was: There's an arsonist on my stoep.
