In Other News – 14 September 2015

Mandalore

I’ve been thinking of starting my own reality entertainment show. Something which will grip the nation on a weekly basis. After coming to the conclusion that most locally-produced content in South Africa should be set on fire, I hit on a great idea: let’s hunt the people who present those shows.

Think about it: every week, we’ll target one Top Billing or Kyknet presenter, and send a crack team of trackers and hunters after them. Like Man-Tracker, except not fake in any way whatsoever as we’ll actually give these guys a headstart and slowly torment along the way, savouring the hunt.

Of course, it’ll be a catch and release show. We’ll catch them, and slowly release them over a cliff. See, conservation is easy.

In Other News: Afro Samurai returns this month, Zygarde gets an upgrade, Ethan Carter can’t stop vanishing and exploring a very different kind of arcade.

Here’s the news that we didn’t post today, because we were too busy saving the local TV industry.

    I’ll be sure to share your sentiment on local content to the people who actually create content in SA. Sure DSTV will be pleased to hear that Lazy Gamer thinks their content is crap.

      I don’t know how to reply to your comment, not sure if you are serious or if you thought Darryn was being serious?! Sarcasm or lack there of is so difficult on the net…

      Lazygamer… one word, one capital 🙂

      Also, the latest news today is that the DIY show on Kyknet was a complete fake and used for corruption. Taking pot shots at local content is therefore fully approved for today 😛

        Look that oke had a great idea should just not have made as if it was someone else’s home. The show would still have been a DIY show, but just for his own home renovations… “DIY home renovations with Builders Warehouses money” that would be my title for it.

          I agree, the dodge part was the lying to the viewers: Write in for a chance to win a free home make-over and being featured on Kyknet, when really all those viewer letters were just turfed in the bin.

        I googled Impimpi. Either I am a red spinning top, A spy of some sort or a subject of a book. To be honest, It’s very hard to find a definitive meaning online. Clearly there is a negative connotation to the term and can be used relative to the intention of the author. In this instance, I would think the use of the term is meant to be insulting and confusing because you had to know I would google it. I guess I have been bested.

      Watched that video and if it is true then it is a bit disturbing.

    Haha that ‘start your own reality show’ sound far to familiar for me. Lived with four people and we tend to make our own “reality shows” when we had a few drinks!
