FIFA Is NUTS says The Mayor of Capetown; We Agree





South Africa is going NUTZ Forreal. We agree with the mayor of Capetown. there is no reason for anyone to use this event to promote prostitution; as is apparent from this latest crap for content from the condom merchandisers.


isn't it time we stopped using every opportunity to prostitute humanity ?

A suggestion that South African condoms should be branded with footballs during the 2010 World Cup is "nuts", Cape Town's mayor has said.
The proposal, by lobby groups working with prostitutes, is part of a debate around plans to try to prevent HIV/Aids spreading during the tournament.
The South Africa National Aids Council and Sex World Education Advocacy Group also wants prostitution decriminalised.
But Cape Town Mayor Dan Plato is resisting such calls.
"I'm not in favour of legalising prostitution; I'm very worried about young girls who prostitute themselves standing in the streets," South Africa's Pretoria News paper quotes him as saying.
"I think they (Sanac and Sweat) are nuts thinking they can somehow promote prostitution through the World Cup."
Some 5.2m South Africans have HIV - the highest number of people living with the virus in one country in the world.
An estimated 450,000 visitors are expected to visit South Africa for the World Cup which starts in June next year.

Hey Noxeema You Want to be a "Jail Star" ?



There are days I wish I didn't read the international section of the news. today was one of those days. The Numbers Gang; Check This Lil Tidbit Out,



somehow I just don't get it, in terms of why criminal activity seems to have some mystic allure. there is nothing glamourous about being in jail, or doing something that will probably result in you loosing your freedom.

This story is from South Africa, so you probably missed it. the irony of it is that before the show debuted, they had to lockdown the prison; "because the contestants got a lil too excited". (sideeye) Okay now forgive my ignorance, what would make anybody in jail excited ? you are locked down, away from your stuff and have no basic say-so over anything that happens to you. that's pretty grim. so how could they even feel excited enough to get locked down before they got to give their performances ?

I guess it's just one of those things I'll never know. All I know is that imagining folks like Dick Cheney and Condi Rice; locked down in Chino; Whooo Hoooo ! that makes me kinda giddy. I could see them making Dubya bend over and spread em, before they let him out to the exercise pens. they'd probably find a pretzel up there in the man cave. could you imagine Rumsfeld locked down beside somebody like Wesley Snipes. ooooo that could make for an interesting talent show.



Wesley could do his impression of Noxeema Jackson. I would have to buy the dvd so I could run it back and forth. I'd especially enjoying seeing it when Condi and Da Brat meet-up in the Ladies Room. Whew, that would be totally like finding the weapons of mass destruction. we'd all finally know if Condi was rockin a lacefront or just some clip ins. either way, we put our ducats on Da Brat, since we already know she's got experience whoopin ass.

Check out this madness, and hope that it doesn't make it to the US Market anytime soon. could you imagine Pookey and Manuel nem workin out they steps, Lawd Please, Jesus would really have to take the wheel, cause this Would be a hit.

S.African inmates compete in 'Prison Pop Idol'

Dressed in identical orange uniforms, inmates at South Africa's maximum-security Pollsmoor prison sing and act for the cameras in a new reality series where they vie to be crowned "Jail Star".

The Cape Town prison, best known for gang violence in one of the world's most violent countries, has launched a TV talent search for offenders as part of its rehabilitation programme.

The show will be broadcast throughout South Africa's prison system on an in-house television channel.
"One of the reasons for the show was to take away the reality that prison was a university of crime. Jail Star gave the prisoners a chance to be themselves and away from their unreal environment," said the founder of Prison Broadcasting Network, Marius Boaden.
 
"We completed the production. About 35 prisoners were auditioned. The idea comes from reality shows such 'Pop Idol' and 'South Africa's Got Talent'. The prisoners could act or recite a poem," he said.
The judges were two warders and a prisoner.

"The competition was tough. The judges were honest and encouraging but there were some pretty harsh comments. The general concept was to be positive and encourage them even if they were bad," he said.
But the programme's launch was postponed after a stabbing incident that prompted Pollsmoor to impose a general lock-down.

"It seems now things have settled down. We will try again maybe next week and the winner will be announced then. The winner won't be receiving any prize but the recognition," he said.

The broadcast is part of a rehabilitation and skills development programme.

"After they finish their training, they get certificates. We have two cameras, no lights, one mic and one tripod. We work with bare bones but we manage."

Why is Political Correctness more important than Fact in this Hot Mess ?


She is Claiming Neither She or He - so how does this play out ?

Once we got over our loss of words - we actually came up with some clarity on this Hot Mess right here. this is a MAN - NO OVARIES, NO ESTROGEN; TESTES and TESTOSTERONE = MAN.  

Lets stop the drama South Africa. just because you play head games do you think the rest of the world should subscribe to your idiot notions ? any physical examination would reveal that this is NOT A WOMAN. the DNA and the Hormonal tests have proven it, as well as the physical inspection. so give back the damn medal Caster.

You Ran with Women and You are a MAN

A Handsome Man so we can let it go there. you have been camped out in the womans locker rooms for years. just give the damn medal back and enter the race as a MAN, Which You Are.

Fact Is Caster Semenya is hermaphrodite;

yes both sets of DNA.. Are There

The Telegraph report said tests had found Semenya had no womb or ovaries - or Estrogen; but that she has internal testes, the male sexual organs which produce Testosterone, and her levels of that hormone are three times that of a 'normal' female.
doesn't the olympic committe have some experts on this, and some kind of precedent to set here ? wow, this is really reaching into a whole new area of sexism. does this mean that now we will see the third indicator box for hermaphrodite soon ?
when can a person deny their sex ? that's basically what's happening here
how does this effect the race, and her/his competitors ? there are so many questions on this one, that we are going to be watching with baited breath for the final word from the IOCC.  don't worry South Africa, we're not worried about you vamping on the entire world. so your threats are falling on deaf ears thankfully.

The real deal is that This GUY needs to Stop Competing As A Woman; and Against Women. and South Africa needs to accept the FACTS, and deal with their mismanagement of resources. they should require a physical inspection of the athletes before allowing them to compete; after this. most of us will remember the Russian and Eastern European Drug Scandals of the 70's. Lets Not Go There Again IOCC.

Caster Semenya of South Africa celebrates after winning the women's 800 metres final

South Africa Threatens Third World War over Caster Semenya Affair


By Wendell Roelf, Reuters

KLEINMOND, South Africa — South Africa reacted angrily on Friday to a report that tests on its world champion runner Caster Semenya had found she was a hermaphrodite, threatening a "third world war" over the affair.
Athletics' governing body declined to confirm the report in Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper, which said the 18-year-old runner had both male and female sexual characteristics.
The IAAF said medical experts were examining the results of gender tests on Semenya, who won the women's 800 meters at last month's World Championships in Berlin. No decision would be taken until late November.
"I think it would be the third world war. We will go to the highest levels in contesting such a decision. I think it would be totally unfair and totally unjust," said Sports Minister Makhenkesi Stofile.
South African President Jacob Zuma decried the invasion of Semenya's privacy and what he called the violation of her rights, although neither he nor Stofile denied the report.
"I don't know why we should not respect the privilege between the doctor and the patient. Why, when the tests have been done, why was it published?" Zuma said.

The Telegraph report said tests had found Semenya had no womb or ovaries, but that she had internal testes, the male sexual organs which produce testosterone, and her levels of the hormone were three times that of a 'normal' female.
It said the IAAF was "ready to disqualify Semenya from future events and advise her to have immediate surgery because her condition carries grave health risks. They have also not ruled out stripping Semenya of her 800m world championships gold medal."
'SHOCK AND DISGUST'
Semenya, who was due to compete in a cross country race in Pretoria on Saturday, in her first competition since claiming the world title, withdrew from the event. Semenya's coach Michael Seme said that she was not "feeling well."
Stofile told a news conference his ministry had "noted with shock and disgust" media reports on the test results, which the South African government had not yet received.
"The issue here is that this girl has undesirable levels of testosterone -- what does it matter? That is neither here not there. She does not have a womb -- so what?," he said.
Nick Davies, spokesman for the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), said media reports on the gender test results should not be considered as official statements by the sports body.
"There is a (IAAF) Council on 21 November and this will be the opportunity to conclusively finalize a decision," he said.
Some South Africans have accused the IAAF of racism for ordering the gender tests on Semenya, saying her broad shoulders and imposing musculature are common in women's athletics.
The controversy may have touched a raw nerve in a country where race is still a highly sensitive issue after decades of apartheid, which ended in 1994.
The militant Youth League of South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) said in a statement: "Even if a test is done, the ANC YL will never accept the categorization of Caster Semenya as a hermaphrodite, because in South Africa and the entire world of sanity, such does not exist."
