This Blog lacks a lot of things… but what it has is a cool hail storm and Stu talking to strangers. So…I think that makes up for it. Basically Stu is lacking on the “Flip” coverage and I’ve had to step in and get us back up to speed.
We ventured out to Melville after I decided our friday night in South Africa shouldn’t be spent at the house writing scripts for animated shorts. It proved to be a good idea as we met the town’s mafia boss named Bruce. He was nice enough to wave us into his bar but then proceeded to hound us for being “American Pussies” for not wanting to get high and do coke with him. He was also drinking straight Whiskey back to back and getting way to close to us when he talked.
The only real valuable information we got out of his delirium was that he owned like all the restraints on the main street in Melville and he’s a giant douche bag! Oh and he said that they were more free in South Africa than we ever could be in America. This was because he can just pay the police off and do whatever he wants. Oh and a direct quote from him was this.. ” for instance I could have you killed if I wanted to. (Stumble stumble almost spilling his drink) …I never would, but that’s my point.” I simply shook my head and didn’t say anything.
So we learned that South African can be a very liberal place if you own a lot of crap and have a lot of money. Not sure how different that is from America, but you can have people killed very easily. Prob for less than 1000 Rand. BUT… I found his philosophies very skewed, seeing as it’s such a great place, so much better than America, yet, there are thousands and thousands of people living is shacks and struggling everyday to survive. Little children are running around on red rocky dirt with no shoes on and he’s living the good life getting drunk and bragging to a couple of Americans how great his life is. My guess is, he’s never stepped foot in Tembisa. And if he has, he’s all the more terrible of a person for the way he is. So here is to you Mr. Bruce from the “Loft”. Go *%$K yourself please!
Dude… I am officially addicted to these vlogs. Hahaha I get excited when I see a new one posted! I’m captivated like it’s some sort of reality tv show :)
