Doggone Snowblindness
January 20th, 2012 by Brandon Edmonds
This is a story about empathy. I saw a headline “Gardener ‘raped’ employer’s dog” and my spider sense tingled. Unusual, gonzo, attention-grabbing. There’s race in there, animal sex, class and the suburbs. Things I can write about. Right up my alley. “A 54-year old Pretoria gardener has been denied bail after he allegedly raped his employer’s Dachshund bitch.” He did the dog in a Wendy House. It writes itself. read more…
Jack Parow and The Nature of Inbreeding
January 20th, 2012 by Max Barashenkov
The Patriarch pulled his cock out of his son, slapped the hairy ass and said, “that’s it, Jack, you’re ready for real stardom now.”
The younger man hitched up his shorts, wiped the snot from his moustache and vacated the place for the next sibling to receive the blessing. Fame Under The Mountain is hard earned, the family demanding and merciless to those that stray beyond the caravan park, but, as the Patriarch likes to say, inbreeding sells. Success is not achieved here, it’s fucked into you. read more…
The Skin I Live In
January 19th, 2012 by Kavish Chetty
I relinquish myself to every adolescent/boyhood urge: the original title of Almodóvar’s new film is La Piel Que Habito. That knowledge would function ordinarily as mere trivia for the pretentious cinema-goer; the type who “keeps it regal” and likes to pronounce all the foreign film titles in their native languages. Inevitably they end up sounding like a caricature of a Mexican. But I can’t halt there because that phallic syllable is gaping out at me. The “piel” I live in. read more…
It’s Hard Not To Shout
January 19th, 2012 by Linda Stupart
It’s hard not to shout when someone just isn’t listening to you. Unfortunately, though, if you’re a woman, and particularly if you’re a Feminist (GASP), shouting at men is exactly what’s expected of you: Illogical, emotional, cock-hating, weeping and so on (at this point I’d like to reiterate that I rather like men, and I definitely like cock, hey SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE BOYS). read more…

Roofies
January 18th, 2012 by Themba Kriger
Stepping out of the tiny lift in a nondescript building on Loop Street, Amy was surprised to be in, what appeared to be someone’s lounge, complete with couches and coffee table. The room was small with the lift and a door to her right, being the only obvious points of exit. She felt as if she was stuck inside of a surreal, text-based video game from the 80s. read more…
My Mouth Works

Not many Mzansi rappers can say they’ve achieved what 20 year-old Youngsta has in the two short years of his music career. Since his first appearance on the scene in 2010 he’s dropped 23 mixtapes, a full-length album, occupied charts on Goodhope and 5FM and rocked big shows in Cape Town and Jozi. read more…
