A little something from my Facebook profile.

If you haven’t been following the story, read about it on iafrica.com. Basically, though, some people on the Christian Right have found the content in this year’s RAG Mag, Sax Appeal, objectionable. The Vice Chancellor has apologized. Pick’n'Pay has pulled the magazine from its shelves. How exciting!
I happen to be a contributor to Sax Appeal, though I doubt anybody found my contribution objectionable. For this I apologize. In other publications, I’d been offending people fairly consistently in the previous few weeks and was in the mood for a bit of fluff. Nothing wrong with that. Still, I’m glad somebody wrote something other than fluff.
To those students in the editorial team, to those contributors who have so deeply offended certain members of the Christian Right, I congratulate you for daring to mock those things deserving of mockery.
To the Christian Right: enough already.

I’ve been asked to complete this thought in this weekend’s The Weekender (SA), so let me go do that and I’ll drop you a note when you can go get a copy. (The Hitler thing will be explained.)
UPDATE Wednesday, 11 March 2009, 22h06: I’ve had to move this to next week’s The Weekender. Too busy to do a good job of it! (Yes, yes, Cheri. An awful tease. I’m all fluttereyes, kissylooks and lace.)

…a drunk person.
Watch closely. The people in alcohol ads are the least drunk people in the world. Which is a smart move by the alcohol companies. Showing us drunk people would not make us want to buy alchohol. You have to be drunk to look at a drunk person and think “I want to be more like that”. No, its only the depiction of thrilling, extreme, excessive sobriety that can get us to the bars and bottlestores.
