Strange racist bedfellows: Australia assembles a black-only football team to play South Africa

So apartheid is evil unless you’re segregating the races to play football against South Africa in Africa and the race being excluded is caucasian in which case it’s all dandy.

This one is beyond us. Our feeble intellects are simply not capable of comprehending the thinking behind this.

All these years we thought South African apartheid was evil, that the intentional exclusion of one race by another was unacceptable. But then how do you explain the fact that a race-based football team from Australia has been selected specifically to play South Africa? And how do you explain the fact that it’s being applauded?

The Age reports the odd turn of events as if they don’t see any irony in it:

An AFL match will be staged as an exhibition event at the Africa Games in Mozambique in September. It will be between a team from South Africa and an Australian Aboriginal team.

So apartheid is evil unless you’re segregating the races to play football against South Africa in Africa and the race being excluded is caucasian in which case it’s all dandy.

Surely, there’s some logic in there somewhere. We’re just having trouble finding it.

By the way, if you’ve never seen Aussie rules football, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s like the NFL without pads or the NBA without rules. Don’t know how the players survive each week’s games.

Uh-oh, Oprah: Children in her private school held in solitary confinement

"Wait'll I get my hands on those little perverts."
"Wait'll I get my hands on those little perverts."

Damned if this doesn’t sound like an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show. Maybe even the Rikki Lake Show.

A few weeks ago, four students at Oprah’s prestigious Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa were accused of sexual misconduct. Sexual assault, to be precise. Now they’ve told a South African newspaper that academy officials held them in solitary confinement for two weeks before booting them out the door of the prestigious boarding school.

Security guards were positioned outside their rooms, they were forbidden to attend class or communicate with their friends, and meals were brought to their rooms.

Unfortunately, the girls were just too darned upset to eat. “I asked myself, ‘What’s the point?'” said one of the girls. “I’m going to be expelled anyway.”

Oprah’s spokesperson said the girls were punished with “in-school suspension.” And those security guards? Well, they were there simply to assure the girl’s safety.

We say the little hussies got off easy. They’re lucky Oprah didn’t fly down to South Africa with her best friend Gail and a cat o’ nine tails just to give ’em a lesson they won’t get anywhere this side of a Robert Mugabe’s prison camp.

But that’s just us.

The commercial Islamic radicals don’t want you to see. New and improved.

Some time back, a great commercial showed up on the internet. It was supposedly created by a South African ad agency to promote Honda’s hybrid.

We say supposedly because the commercial was so simple and so powerful and so controversial that it just seems doubtful that any major advertiser would have the guts to run it. Honda denies any involvement. So does the ad agency that is credited with having created it.

The commercial became an internet sensation. It got millions of views. Then an Islamic activist group got its panties in a wad and demanded that the commercial be pulled off the internet. YouTube caved in and pulled the commercial. It’s now very difficult to find online.

We love the commercial. So we got our hands on a copy, did a little editing, removed any reference to Honda, and put a new ending on it.

We think new version is more powerful than the original. And more timely, too.

If you enjoy it, please tell everyone you know to see it at IHateTheMedia.com.

Oprah’s weepin’ again. Her South Africa boarding school rocked by another sex scandal.

tear_oprah Two years ago, TV talk show queen Oprah Winfrey was said to have “wept” when she learned of a sex scandal at her elite South African girl’s boarding school. Well, break out the Kleenex, because she has another sex scandal on her hands.

Seven, count ‘em seven, students have been suspended for sexually harassing other students at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy School for Girls.

One 15-year-old girl was accused of…uh…imposing herself on another girl. Investigators say she also lied about it and coerced other girls to lie about it. Additionally, another group of girls were caught…uh…fondling each other or recruiting others to join them in “lesbian liaisons.”

A spokesperson for the TV talk queen admitted the girls had been given the boot. “It is because they contravened the school’s code of conduct,” she noted. “We regard the incident as confidential.”

Sad as this incident is, we’re sure it will give Winfrey several hours worth of programming. She’ll weep. She’ll apologize. She’ll be outraged. She’ll consult with Dr. Phil. She’ll talk to Dr. Oz. She’ll write a book about it.

And then she’ll give everyone in the audience a car and call it even.
