Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. It seems wrong doesn’t it? I mean seriously. Why the F isn’t The Hangover in the number one spot? That movie was ten times better than Star Trek and Transformers combined. I mean, yeah, Star Trek was pretty good but Transformers was just godawful. Anyway. Yeah. The Hangover got jooed. Oh well. There’s always the Oscars…

(Oh, and other movies included in the top ten most illegally downloaded movies for 2009 would be District 9, Harry Potter 6, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In case you cared.)

Man I am so glad I don’t live in South Africa. That place just seems like a horrible place from all the things I keep hearing about it. I mean it got invaded by aliens a few weeks ago. How much would that suck? Plus that place is already rife with political and racial strife. How much worse could this place get?

Oh it gets worse. Yes. The rumors are true.

The internet in South Africa sucks eggs. Big time. And I’m not joking (though it is supremely hilarious).

And yes, this is true. The Beeb said so and they’ve never lied to us before have they? (The answer is no…ish.)

“But!” I hear you exclaim in protest. “How slow is the internet in South Africa?”

And I answer with a smug smile and knowing glance, “Slower than a pigeon”.
