NEWS24 PRINTS THE WORD “CUNT”

Well, I tell you what, it’s a BIG moment for South African media. While 2oceansvibe isn’t shy to throw around the odd “shit” here and the odd “fuck” there, I don’t think we have thrown around the “C” word for a number of years. News24, have obviously decided to up the ante by happily publishing the words (without any star*s hiding the letters) “cocksucker,” “cunt” and “fuck” in the same article.

The article had to do with the the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of SA (BCCSA) reprimanding Multichoice, following a complaint from a viewer. News24 happily printed the EXACT offending words!

changed by the time you get there)

It would be nothing short of hysterical if the aforementioned article ALSO gets a complaint or two!

Nonetheless, it is indeed a proud moment for South African media. Well done, News24, on pushing all boundaries!

They really are in a completely different league to the likes of Cape Times and the iol rabble who continue to completely balls up articles time and time again. Speaking of which, did you catch their latest article? Look at the headline and then read the article.

Peanuts.
Monkeys.

 

Shame. What a mess.

Shit.

Fuck.

Balls.
