I'm not a huge fan of Whoopi but I thought this was really funny. She delivers the joke really well.

Ahhh, technology....
I want netflix to do this so we can watch movies instantly on our big TV. They also need to expand their collection of movies they have available for live streaming.

Blood Diamond
In keeping with African theme of the past few posts, here is a little clip from blood diamond. I have to give props to DiCaprio in this film. Usually actors playing South Africans come out with some weird mix of Australian and Britsh accents. His was pretty decent. The writers also did a really good job of incorporating slang and phrases that are very specific to South Africans and their sense of humor. Oh ...and he dresses like a Boer:)

You are proudly South African when....
1. You produce a R100 note instead of your drivers licence when stopped by a traffic officer.
2. You can do your monthly shopping on the pavement.
3. You have to hire a security guard whenever you park your car.
4. You can count the national soccer teams scores with no fingers.
5. To get free electricity you have to pay a connection fee of R750
6. Hijacking cars is a profession.
7. You can pay your tuition fees by holding up a sign at a traffic light
8. The petrol in your tank may be worth more than your car.
9. More people vote in a local reality TV show than in a local election.
10. People have the most wonderful names: Christmas, Goodwill, Pretty, Wednesday, Blessing, Brilliant, Gift and Given.
11. Now now can mean anything from a minute to a month!
12. You continue to wait after a traffic light has turned to green to make way for taxis travelling in the opposite direction.
13. Travelling at 120 km/h you´re the slowest vehicle on the highway.
14. You´re genuinely and pleasantly surprised whenever you find your car parked where you left it.

A little joke about the recent power shortages in South Africa
First there was white power
Then there was black power
Now there is no power
