KAK. Where to start… Harvesting body parts for muti? That’s definitely KAK. One of those “cultural practices” that keeps the phrase “dark continent” firmly associated with the word “Africa”. Offering people “keen cash” for their eyeballs, hands, kidneys, breasts, tongues and testicles is pretty revolting, promising them a “24 hour recovery” is psychopathic. Not to mention the trade in “rhino parts”. We can only imagine that this is an elaborate hoax, dressed up as an art project to raise awareness. Alternatively we envision the utopian scenario of a million blue lights and a cacophony of sirens descending on Dr Uba and his Clinic. Watch this space…
more KIF or KAK
The website looks real… http://www.ubaclinic.co.za/
They even give a shout out to God. Got to love it
I’m just wondering why the hell we get charged so much to remove a tooth?
how about an in-depth mahala investigative piece?
Dr. Uba has the nicest eyes and tits.
Here’s a feature on a plate, if e’er there was one. In true Gonzo style, why don’t you murder this fucker and make it a two-part investigative piece?
Whois describes the site as “spoof site of a fake doctor” http://co.za/cgi-bin/whois.sh?Domain=ubaclinic
But someone should call the number and find out.
called.
no answer.
I dropped him a mail, called, but got Uba voicemail.
Hey guys… I work on organised crime issues – organ trafficking being an issue in SADC… we tried to call a few times. Number is busy. I would be very curious about a followup? Where did you come across this poster/flyer?
Annette, the person who registered the domain is Jonathan Merry, who’s number is +27835011200. See the whois for more information: http://co.za/cgi-bin/whois.sh?Domain=ubaclinic
How much for Roger Young’s liver?
“…..do it for your loved one” ja, she wont be happy to hear i sold both my testicles! for up to R1600 each, thats R3200, woohoo, enough cash to pay rent for a month!
this flyer and website is so obviously a sham. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, one Mr Jonathan Merry can be identified as a web designer that used to work for TBWA Tequila, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Using the same IP address as http://www.ubaclinic.co.za/, he also owns two other websites: jonathan-merry.com and warhammergenerals.co.za where he used to be ranked 10th on the fantasy rankings and is currently sitting at 52nd.
The warhammer site was coincidently done by Merry design where one can get his email address which is merry.jonathan@gmail.com
Perhaps, in the gonzo style sense of of fobias tunke and AT someone should get hold of this fucker and ask if he thinks that making jokes about such things is funny.
As a spoof i think it offers up some very real avenues of debate around cultural practices and the stereotyping. But this could also be reductive.
Personally I don’t think this should be left just to fly as one of those “ha ha…got ya” internet spoofs. But where’s the line? Is it appropriate for people to make fun of serious issues such as this and on the other hand is it any ones right to police and censor such expression?
I suppose it boils down to taste really, and in this case, it’s bad.
We need Deborah Patta or Ruda Landman or Derik Watts up in this bitch!
R3200 for my gonads!?! Do I need to ship them in ice or would an envelope suffice?
the flyer and site is a spoof people!!! come on now. my boyfriend designed the site for a client, and its definitely, without any doubt, a fake.
no doubt its part of some marketing plot for some company. don’t be so gullible!!
@adele… Alas, it’s all too believable.
your boyfriend, sure, sure… now that’s being gullible
i dunno guys, like shit, this looks pretty real. broken international news big time.
This stuff happens and is very real. Someone needs to stop this man. He’s playing on desperate people who will do anything for some cash. Scary.
LOL, its a spoof, it’s a marketing ploy for the movie Night Drive. Click on a link on the website and you get a pop up for the movie site http://www.nightdrivemovie.com It deals with a group of people caught up on a game drive being hunted by a madman who traffics in animal and human bodies and parts
Seems like the site is a punt for the movie nightdrive?
well cut off my nads with a rusty knife… we was duped! Nice work
I’ve collected the relevant info here.
Pure, Pure madness!!!!! flippin’ sick stuff
This is all crazy stuff. guess people must just be very carefu, stuff like this is kind of scary cause you dont know what the next person is thinking especially the sangomas
It’s all a hoax. Uba doesn’t exist and neither does his clinic. The flyers and website were for a film called Night Drive. http://www.nightdrivemovie.com Trailer looks pretty intense.
well, the movie looks pretty kak anyway.
Here is some food for thought.
2 weeks ago a boy was found with his testicals missing.There was no shouting and screaming.A flyer gos out and now we sit up and take notice.People this shit is a reality.people are hunted for ther body parts.If it takes a movie like night drive to make us stand up and fight this practice of paching body parts then lets rather do that.its an evil that needs to be stopped.its just 5 cents worth.
http://thestar.newspaperdirect.com/epaper/viewer.aspx – Legalised freakin organ peddling. Makes Dr Uba look like an unprofessional d**s!
Pure brilliance!!!!!!!!! I think Jonathan Merry is a creative genuis.
@ adele..
If youre trying to spin someone off saying that your “boyfriend” designed this.. then you are obviously thinking the average internet user is as thick as a plank!.. seriously why try and claim you have knowledge of something you know sweet eff all about? freakinf tard!
QUOTE : *no doubt its part of some marketing plot for some company*
im sure you would have know a little bit more if your story was true..
A few lekker dom motherf*ckers over here. It’s gorilla marketing for the movie “Night Drive”. And pretty creative If you ask me.
@Ben, oh man that’s a beautiful Murphy.
KAK! I didn’t read to the bottom. Why didn’t you okes say its for a movie. I’ve already posted my left ball. How am I gonna pay for my new iPad now.
Zef leapard dude u in luck I am selling left testies at the low low price of only R5600, Installation included (excl VAT) or to swop for Ipad 2…
The 24-hour recovery sweetens the deal.
Seriously though, I really wanted to watch Night Drive and it was only showing at the most undesirable cinemas in the county and only for like a week.. R8 a movie is good, but you know you’re at a dodgy place when they don’t sell popcorn, just pies..
