The Thick Plottens
I don’t mean to make a big issue out of this Ras-turbation stuff but it seems that Ras Dumisani has become an actual celebrity now that he has ras-turbated all over the South African National Anthem. I had never heard of him until his debut ras-turbation and I almost felt sorry for ol’ Ras D after I had read Stii Pretorius’s blog post so I decided to do a little research of my own.
A ma
n who was unknown in South Africa now has a Wikipedia definition. Click her for Ras Dumisani’s Wikipedia definition .
The Youtube video of him slaughtering the National Anthem has already gotten 146117 views.
He has 122 000 results on Google. I have checked on Kalahari.net to see if they are even stocking his CD… (They’re not) but I’m pretty sure they’ll jump on the bandwagon especially after Ras’s apology to the South African public in which he stated, “”I would like to apologise to all the people at home because I find myself was very disgusting”.
I found one of his actual music videos on YouTube and if you calculate all of the actual views of all of his videos they do not come close to 126117 views.
This made me realise that in this current attention economy that we live in, people remain undiscovered until they srew up on an international platform. That means that if I want to become famous, I should move to a country with a big population where there are not too may South Africans and I’ll wait until they host an event in that country and I will be at the top of the ‘talent’ list. So I have decided to pack my bags and go to China and wait for a South African to play in the Mahjong World Championship. I’ll rap the national anthem (Like Lil’ Wayne) and then I’ll be famous too… or infamous.
But in actual fact, I have too much respect for the National Anthem to disrespect it like that. I’ll have to become famous another way. Maybe I should make a sex video (but I’m not famous, so it would actually just be a cheap porn), or maybe I should sleep with a famous comedienne (but I don’t think I have the stomach, yet, to sleep with Erica Scott)

“…don’t think I have the stomach yet, to sleep with Erica Scott.”
Some of the worlds funniest comedians have definitely not been the most attractive people to have graced a stage. I hope my future success will rely on my comedic talent and not with whom I sleep with….otherwise I’m screwed!
Your website is simply fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed your video…very, very funny stuff!…and despite the fact that you have publicly proclaimed me gut-wrenching ugly I would consider it an honor to share a comedy stage with you.
I wish you all the fame, fortune and success you crave, desire and deserve.

Hi Erica… I am actually very honoured that you have found my blog. If it gives you any comfort, I only have a few readers of my blog, so please do not think that my intention was to ridicule you in any way to ‘the world’. My style of comedy is a little bit harsh sometimes but I really do not mean most of the things that I say. I am at an age in my career when I am still trying to see what parts of my sense of humour people enjoy of mine and what parts of mine I need to exclude entirely from my skits.
I had actually included the video of yours on the blog because I really think that your comedy is good. (Although, my comment of me not having the stomach to sleep with you was a very cheap attempt, on my part, to try and put some kind of humourous twist on incorporating the video to the blog post)
If you could ever see me in real life, you would notice that I am not really an attractive comedian (hence why I became a comedian). I use my personality and ability to make people chuckle to hide my insecurity of how I view myself physically.
I have to apologise right here and right now for taking a stab at you and (especially considering my own insecurities of my appearance) I should never have made a joke about something that I am actually sensitive about. I hope you will excuse my insensitivity, and I would also like to let you know that if you are ever in Cape Town, South Africa (maybe for the World Cup) I would love to book you at 1 of the 2 comedy clubs that I handle the comedy at.
I must also apologise for the time in which it took me to respond. I have been on holiday since December and have only just recently got back into the swing of things. I would also like to extend an invitation for you to send through any blog posts that you would like me to publish on my blog. I am always looking for people who would like to contribute to the comedy playground. Sharing is caring and sharing laughter is life changing, so feel free to utilize this site in the way in which I would like it to be in the future – a collaborative effort.
I respect you as an entertainer and as an individual and please do not take my “insensitivity” in this regard as an example of my character.

It is I who must appologize….I was truly over sensative. I should not have ‘heckled’ you for your comments, thoughts and opinions. The ‘art’ of comedy is at it’s best when the performers are allowed to be themselves and fully voice their true character without any barriers.
I appologize.
It would be my absolute honor and pleasure to share a stage with you. I would also like to extend an invitation to you as well….if and when you find yourself visiting Canada, please let me know and I will help you in anyway to get onto as many stages as you can while you are here.
I enjoy your blog very much and will be sure to promote it and you to the masses. There is not enough laughter in this world, we must all do our part to ‘spread the joy’. You are a true comedic talent and I applaud you for putting together such an amazing site where comedy is allowed to be shown, seen and shared.
Cheers!
Erica

Hmmm… so does that mean you want to sleep with her now?

Nice one, Izzy, but my girlfriend and I have been in a great relationship together for a year and a half now. I’m not really thinking about sleeping with anyone else at the moment (unless Halle Berry asks me nicely)…
