Spitting Image was a puppet show dedicated to a satiricle look at politics and showbusiness. It also had some songs!

    @podly

    I imagine the voice over in those 60s McDonalds commercials sounds exactly like the voice that says

    "No. It's okay. It is your job to administer another shock to the patient after failure. Go on. Do it. You must complete the test."

    Only South African I knew was a guy who migrated to Sweden and eventually changed his last name to Plainview and became a racist shitheel and joined the Sweden Democrats, the party for racist shitheels.

    I work with a Seoth Efrikan and he's a nice guy. That may be because he hasn't lived there in 20 years.

    In the late 90s we had our own Spitting Image knockoff.

    Here are the then-party leaders having a dick measuring contest. That just happens to coincide with their results in that election.

    Göran Person, leader of the Social Democrats, smugly saying "37.6".

    And the leader of the Christ-Democrats hiding in the stall.

    Personal bias and all that, but I've found that white South Africans that left the country late 80s/early 90s tend to be rasict. Nice guys usually, but ugh their views on race is a bit offputting.

    I've known hundreds of South Africans, mostly under the age of 40 and I've only met a couple who were bad eggs in a specifically South African way.

    Well it's never had the chance to come up in any conversation I've had with him. Norn Iron has its contingent of racist shitheels, but its contingent of sectarian shitheels is both larger and much more vocal.

    @Shivahn talking about KotOR made me twitch and I reinstalled on impulse. Playing through, got to the point where I get to pick what Jedi I want to be... Oh, Sentinels only get 1 skill point on level up.

    And now I'm done with playing KotOR again. :V

    Good to hear.

    I'm not the most patriotic person, but I do like the country and the people.

    And the food. I think I miss the food the most.

    I've met lots. I can't actually think of anybody especially disagreeable I've met, outside of one occasion where one got drunk and decided to tell uncomfortable racist jokes. Although that was one slip up in several months of contact.

    As a white NZ male my main problem with white South African men is they assume I must be interested in rugby. From what Mortious has said though he has a similar problem
