Laugh it off : "A fascinating
insight into what a young South Africa is feeling, thinking,
and doing."
"
This is not only a directory of talent, it's a fascinating
preview of what's waiting in the wings for South African
audiences over the next few years and a tantalising
foretaste of the unique flavours of South Africa as
it shapes a new legacy of creativity."
Barry
Ronge, South African journalist
"
I don't think I've read anything like this before."
Darrel Bristow-Bovey
The message is clear...we had enough! Enuff ,after all,
is enough! Like when you eat (or drink alcohol) way
pass your limit and you fucking hurl your lungs out!
Yo, these cats are totally shred all the fucking multi-national
corporates, politicians and the big-bosses, we've all
grown so accustomed to hate; but done in a proper way.
"The children need some way to defend themselves!",
blairs through my speaker off the King Geedora MF DOOM-
album. How appropriate. With this publication you get
an idea that this one of the ways S.A. youth have set
themself up in a way to draw the line. Like they saying
we not just gonna sit and let you fuck us over... No
way hozay! Think of it... how many times did you sit
through some stupid advert promoting some fucking big
conglomarate. If 43 million people eat Mcdonald everyday
worldwide... then 43 million are slowly being poisoned
by Big Brother... go watch "Super size me"
if you think I'm fucking with you.
Mass media really thinks the
average human brain size is around the size of a peanut;
they really under-estimate your fucking intelligence.
Yo but with "Laugh it off", you get the real
scoop... no fucking around my friend. Everyone from
presidents to who-knows-who get a proper much-needed
scorching. Thank goodness!!
So yeah the publication includes
funny-ass cartoons, dope reviews, sick interviews, worth-a-third-glance
graphic design, Slam-style poetry, let-your-imagination-fly-away
type short stories, Kodac-moment photography, articles
that should-be-part-of-school literature!
