Africa is hot. Not hot like you just stepped out of the plane into an oven and you can’t deal because you honestly think “this is not possible” and you must be doing permanent damage to yourself. But hot like Asia was during the rave years when everybody’s flyer had some Japanese characters on it. Or hot like Russia in the grunge years when Shepard Fairey decided communist propaganda art was the way to go.
This has been creeping up on us for a while now. Diesel did a big campaign a few years ago where Africans were portrayed as the world’s elite, but nobody cared. When MIA brought Afrikan boy into the world however, everything changed. Now we can’t get enough of the Dark Continent. We cried tears of joy when this video came out and now Gnarles Barkley has raised the bar by bringing a stylist and some actual money into the picture. The result looks so fucking good, I hereby predict everyone is going to be on Africa’s dick in a big, long, hard way over the next few years.

melanin rich africans are truly the superior physical race, the problem is, physical natural selection is over… Africa needs to train a few scientists and get people reading 1st world languages before that godforsaken continent (god truly has forsaken that landmass) means shit to anyone in the real sense.

Africa is fucked because environmentalists keep fucking it. They say no to deet and other bug chemicals so Africans get attacked by mosquitos and die of malaria. They also discourage cheap fuel like diesel and coal and stick them with “eco-friendly” fuel sources like dung and wood. Great for the environment but if you’ve ever been in a shack with dung and wood burning you may have noticed you’re dying.
Get them some coal-powered electricity and a microwave so they can cook food safely and give reading a whirr. Then get them some bug spray. Not PC but it’s cheap and it’s what Africa needs.
PS: Fader was all over Africa’s dick before the Diesel campaign.

geez those africans- when will they ever learn? ya’d think alicia’s visit would’ve been of at least some inspiration- sadly, no.

Obviously every environmentalist believes that Africans should die of malaria and let the natural cycle of life be, no use for overcrowding, it makes the creation of natural reserves more difficult. I’m glad that’s out so we don’t have to discuss the 90/10 gap of the pharmaceutical industry, or the arms trade, or the World Bank pricks. We don’t even have to ask the people what they want since it has been determined that Africa needed coal-powered electricity, microwaves and bug spray. We’re so into Africa right now and will continue raping her with love…
