Sometimes the urge to flip someone the bird just becomes too powerful to resist.

2017’s most famous zap sign is probably that woman on a bike in America (HERE), but ANC MP Mervyn Dirks is also feeling the finger vibe.

Merv seemed to be a couple of sheets to the wind when he disrupted Parliament, causing everything to grind to a halt.

As is customary these days, there was much name-calling and political posturing, but then it spiralled into what is best described as farcical.

I would pop along to the 15-minute mark in the video below to watch this charade unfold.

Sounds like someone is slurring a touch, no?

Hey dude in the front who is cringing with embarrassment? We feel you.

Someone else who isn’t a fan is Phumzile Van Damme, who tweeted this:

“Straatmeid”, by the way, is a highly offensive racial slur used during apartheid to describe a black woman.

Merv se ma se…
