****************************************************** The SPCA have been trying to question DJ Cleo for the past year after one of his dogs was sexually molested. The dog was eventually put down as its intestines were hanging out when it was brought to the SPCA in Randburg on May 15 2006.
The dog, a Boerboel bitch named Tiger, was in such a “shocking condition” that the centre manager, Phillip Roberts, threatened to have the two musicians that had brought the dog in arrested on the spot.
Sunday World established that the two musicians who took the dog to the SPCA were DJ What What, real name Brian Kgoe, and kwaito singer, Mavo, who refused to supply his real name.
DJ What What is DJ Cleo’s protégé, while Mavo works with Chicco Twala.
Mavo confirms the incident.
He says: “The centre manager wanted to call the police to come and arrest us after it was established that the dog had been penetrated by a human being. We told him we were just messengers as the dog belonged to DJ Cleo.”
He confirms that the dog’s intestines were hanging out of its private parts when they brought it to the centre.
He adds: “We were released after Phillip took DJ What What’s contact details. “We promised him that we were going to ask DJ Cleo to phone him.”
Mavo claims that when they delivered the message to DJ Cleo, born Cleopas Monyepao, the award-winning house music star started laughing and didn’t even try to phone the centre. Mavo adds: “The story about the dog (being sexually molested) became the best kept secret. I don’t know how you guys found it out.”
A Sunday World source claims that a plan was hatched to frame DJ Cleo’s gardener, known only as Petros – because “he was a Zimbabwean national and illegal in this country” – as the culprit if the police came and questioned them.
The source says: “Petros was so angry when he found out that he was being painted as a dog rapist. “He resigned on the spot after telling DJ Cleo to go and rot in hell.”
When Sunday World visited the centre on Friday, they confirmed the incident regarding Tiger but refused to elaborate further citing “doctor and client confidentiality”.
A source says DJ Cleo was phoned several times to come and explain how and who molested his dog but each time he hears it’s someone from the SPCA, he hangs up the phone. The matter was not pursued after Roberts left the centre in December.
When Sunday World confronted DJ Cleo about the allegations, he vehemently denied that the SPCA had been trying to contact him. But he confirmed that he sent his dog to the centre after it was molested. He says: “They are telling lies. They never tried to contact me.
“But it is true that I sent my dog there after I found it with its intestines hanging out.”
The muso also confirms that he was told by his two messengers, DJ What What and Mavo, that the SPCA had told them that the dog had been molested.
He adds: “I questioned my gardener about the matter but he denied it. But one day when he was drunk he admitted that he did it and I fired him.”
DJ Cleo says he loves dogs and that he owns four at the moment. **************************************

WHAT BETTER WAY TO STAY CHIPPER THAN SOME BOUNCE....SOME OF THE N'AWLINS BOUNCE!!
I ALSO TOOK THE LIBERTY OF PIRATING AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE SCENE FROM XLR8R
*In the late ’90s, New Orleans bounce label Take Fo’ signed a record contract with local phenomenon Katey Red, a cross-dressing MC who made the title of The Showboys’ “Drag Rap” (the song from which most bounce music samples) seem very literal indeed. While those outside Louisiana struggled to make sense of how an openly gay rapper could not only peacefully coexist, but blow the fuck up, in the often homophobic Southern rap game, Katey was merely continuing in the N.O. tradition of keeping the party hype. She was damn good at bounce’s trademark stuttered and chanted club raps–and so what if sometimes, in between shouting out dance moves and neighborhoods, she would make references to male prostitution and gay sex? The girls loved to dance to it, the guys followed, and, unwittingly, the sissy rap genre was born. These days, nothing can dampen the spirit in New Orleans clubs like Da Chatroom, Caesar’s, and The Venue, where Red, veteran Big Freedia, and Sissy Nobby–whose gritty, impassioned relationship raps have made her the genre’s rising star–tear up the dance night after night. Our producer friend Dre Skull was down South when we received this excited missive from him and photographer Ports Bishop about the hype going down in the Big Easy. Words by Dre Skull, as told to Vivian Host. Photos by Ports Bishop.
This is the Josephine neighborhood where Freedia is from. (Katey Red is from Melpomene.) You can see these teenage girls in the background–there were actually about 15 of them pretty much hanging out on the corner everyday, playing some card game for money. When Freedia would drive up and play bounce out the window of her car, all the girls would bend over and start bouncing.
Tuesday night at Caesar’s in West Bank. It was billed as a mother-daughter routine between Big Freedia and Sissy Nobby; Katey Red just came out for fun. In the club, for the most part, you don’t hear rap in verse form; a lot of what you hear is phrases and chants, sometimes their voice is being chopped up as if by a sampler–like “Break it down, breakabreakabreakabreakadown”–but they’re doing it live. On stage, Nobby will shake her ass and Freedia will challenge the ladies in the crowd and see if they can compete. It’s kind of casual. I mean, the vibe is intense but it’s too rowdy to be “serious”–they could never mess up. (From left: Katey Red, Sissy Nobby, and Big Freedia)
Sissy Nobby outside her home in Gretna, West Bank; her yellow Mustang is in the background. Nobby, who sometimes refers to herself as Nobbella, is on her ascent right now. She’s all over YouTube, and has about a million plays on MySpace, with recent hits like “Break It Down,” “Snake,” and “Arch in Yo Back.”
Freedia called and was like, “I want a thug shot.” This is in her apartment. If you notice, she’s got galoshes on. I kind of felt like it was a post-flood style.
The Venue and Caesar’s both have these big murals that you can pay to get your picture taken in front of. This is Freedia with one of her fans named Precious.
Big Freedia and Katey Red were standing on the corner and a friend of a friend rolled up in this crazy ride. You can’t really see it, but the windshield says “Fresh Azimiz,” like some shortening of “As I am is.” Big Freedia is rocking that military-style scout look that’s been hot in New Orleans for a few years.*

The Laughing man symbol has become something of a cult image since its appearance in the "ghost in the shell/ stand alone complex" series. "In the Ghost in the Shell series, Laughing Man proves to be the ultimate hacker, capable of such feats as hijacking multiple video streams simultaneously, taking over someone’s cybernetic brain entirely, or even editing his own images out of someone’s cybernetic eyes, and all in real time." The words "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes." rotate around the image. This is a quote from The Catcher in the Rye. In the book in continues to read "That way I wouldn't have to have any goddam stupid useless conversations with anybody. If anybody wanted to tell me something they'd have to write it on a piece of paper and shove it over to me. They'd get bored as hell doing that after a while, and then I'd be through with having conversations for the rest of my life". Ha! It's one of the coolest images ever...... speaking of hackers, did you ever see that clip in which the "Anonymous" waged a war against the church of scientology yeah yeah there it is... easy now....
ek weet wat vokken aan gan met my nie, maar vir die laaste week is ek soos moerse patriotic of something.

So ek het besluit om hierdie Post in afrikaans te doen......en ook om spoek so bietjie aftepis....actually om almal so bietjie aftepis....
