Description
Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Still Kak?: 2Kak 2Furious by Tim Richman and Grant Schreiber is a sharp, irreverent collection of satirical observations about life in South Africa. Following the success of Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Kak?, the sequel takes another look at the frustrations, absurdities and everyday annoyances that South Africans love to complain about. Arranged around a wide range of subjects, the book pokes fun at everything from politics and public services to popular culture, technology and the peculiar irritations of ordinary life.
The humour is deliberately tongue-in-cheek and often politically incorrect, with the authors finding comedy in the things that leave South Africans rolling their eyes, muttering under their breath or wondering how things got quite this kak. Among the topics are Eskom, Telkom, Afrikaans music, Julius Malema and the ANC Youth League, Facebook, load shedding, Joburg architecture, Tom Cruise and Robert Mugabe. First published by Burnet Media in 2008, Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Still Kak? is a distinctly South African snapshot of the frustrations and “kakness” of its time.
