I had to laugh when I read this. Unfortunately it wasn't a good laugh, more like an oh-my-god-can-it-get-any-worse kind of uncomfortable guffaw that slipped out as I felt my grip tighten on the mouse. So let's start off by doing a little quiz to put things in context. You live in a small dorpie which has a notorious former mayor/town manager. This man has been accused amoung other things assault, cronyism, nepotism, fraud, involvement in child prostitution etc. Being a voter who will cast his ballot in the upcoming government elections do you :

a) Make a point of informing people that you have no intention of voting for any party that associated with the scumbag!

b) Make an effort to restore some dignity to the electoral process by giving the scumbags election posters "an extreme makeover".

c) Upon hearing that the scumbag has joined Icosa phone all your friends and demand they go with you to attend a meeting of the said party to show your support for Dear Leader. This would be done after you return from your trip to the planet Zargon 12 of course... can't keep you little green friends waiting!  

 

Yes. 600 people did in fact choose C. Showing that we in SA are well on our way to earning first place in these awards
