Ad 'an attack on Afrikaners'

Did any Afrikaners on this forum feel offended by that AD? I thought it was very funny and never really thought it was offensive. But I ain't no Afriakaner maybe that's why I could not see the offensive bits.

No.. she sounded like most people from boknaaipan. What was the other ad the black people were offended with a while back? Stupid... one idiot like Vernon Koekemoer complaining because he felt they were teasing his GF.
 
Unless we can laugh at our imbecilic ways sometimes - we will never move on with a new SA
Yes, there are proper dutchmen that fail to speak a word of English, even though it is taught in our schools !
EN ja ek is Afrikaans, maar die feit dat sommige mense nie wil Engels praat nie 'want dit is nie my kultuur nie' is sommer *** man.
Since when will speaking English change your heritage, or your manner ???
 
The ad an attack on Afrikaners? Blond "Dowwe Dolla" types maybe, but an outright attack on Afrikaans? Grow the **** up.

People need to learn to take a joke.

Next up on Zapiro: Vernon Koekemoer on a psychiatric couch mouthing off about how his people have no sense of humour.

So movies and series like Lipstick Dipstick, Poena is Koening, Vetkoek Paleis, Suburban Bliss, Orkney Snork Nie and anything even remotely similar where the mickey is taken out of the blond Afrikaans female or even the Afrikaans male stereotypes is racist? Bull****. Absolute bull****.

Some people need to grow the **** up, get over themselves and learn to take a joke.

P.S. The advert is lame, but nowhere does it even remotely hint at racism.

Well exactly, I'm pretty sure Muslims who are offended by the cartoon would hold the offence in a lot lesser light if it was based on a stereotyped Joe (or Jane) Blogs rather than a religious figurehead.

?

I know one tappet like that, he will not utter a single word of English. Still fighting the Boer war.
 
:D
I did find it slightly offensive. There are actually a few adverts where they portray an obvious Afrikaans person (Afrikaans accent) as backwards/stupid/uninformed/etc.
The same advert would never have been made with a black person in that role.

you are slightly offended? but when the areseholespiro cartoon and the muslims were doing the rounds all you afrikaaners and whites were enjoying throwing stones now that the table has turned its offensive ... ag shame :D theres plenty more to come
 
Serious racial inferiority complex coming to the fore

:D

Zapiro PWND the arseholios :D
 
Well the ad did the job, and I bought the pizza coz my Afrikaans wife loves boerewors (take that whatever way you want) :)

Funny, coz most Afrikaners that I know don't really like these ads, Leon Schuster, Jack Parow, Poena is Koning.

However, I love that stuff. I don't have a problem with Afrikaners @ all. But strangely, a select few, do seem to have a problem with everyone else. I often wonder what are they so afraid of?

But I say ads making a joke of different cultures, etc is good for us - well at least I think that. Maybe I have no culture since I'm English :)

The problem with the Afrikaaner ads is that we shouldn't only laugh at certain people, especially people who are no longer in power and are a minority. In contrast if they ever show a guy with a British flag or an American in a stetson, those people are in charge. They are in power. The UK has been dominating everyone for hundreds of years. When was the last time the UK was occupied? When was the last time the US was occupied? They are in power and dominate the world economically and politically and from a position of power and wealth it is easy to let your fellows run a few parody ads.

Although, as our dear friends in the ANCYL like to remind us, most of SA's wealth is in the hands of Afrikaners. Well, white people anyway.

Still, I love the fact that a lone gunman has been responsible for protecting the sensibilities of Afrikaner women as a whole. How dare anyone imply that Afrikaans women might enjoy sex! He will have us know that to the Afrikaner woman, sex is something she must just put up with if she wants a children... :p

LOL! I am of the opinion Afrikaans chicks are much more enjoyable to sleep with than English girls. Maybe that's why I married my wife :)

Why are you bringing the YL into this? Whether or not the Afrikaaners have large bank accounts is irrelevant. They no longer hold command of the police, army, judiciary, legislative and executive branches of the government.

Whatever....
 
Why the **** are people so touchy :rolleyes:

I'm not Afrikaans. I have no Afrikaaner relatives. However, I think fair is fair. If blacks, Jews, Chinese don't want to be laughed at, then Afrikaaners should not be laughed at either.

We all know a blonde like that. Blond is not a colour it is an attitude. Our office blond is a Zulu chick. She calls herself the office blond. :) Lucky for us she does not have a high pitched voice as Dowwe Dolla. :)

We know. However some will contend that, for example, 'k' is not a colour but an attitude and they will get arrested and chastised for making such 'jokes'.
Everyone should be equal - if we can't insult black people we should't be allowd to insult Afrikaaners either.

I do get your point.

I agree thought that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Generalizing will not be a pretty sight with our lovely prez or people like the AWB around mudslinging will ensue..
