Monday nights can get pretty lonely when you’re simultaneously sans girlfriend and have isolated anyone else who wanted to have sex with you, but I like to keep occupied. So in a brief jog through the internet, I stumble across this little ditty; a clip of former Jacaranda DJ Darren Scott calling up 32-year-old Shaun Dewberry, a self-described “IT Specialist”, from Scott’s new job as a DJ on Ballz Radio. Yes, you read that last part right. It’s a station I was blissfully unaware existed until tonight, largely because any station that thinks adding the letter “Z” to the end of words to indicate something’s “cool” is clearly not targeting me (or anyone born before 1985).
The point of contention between the two parties here is a report by Dewberry (published here) which suggests that NetDynamix, the company responsible for hosting various South African online radio stations at the moment, may be doctoring the listenership figures they provide to these stations. Honestly, I don’t care whether or not NetDynamix is lying to Ballz. I don’t like liars, sure, but what do I know about IP addresses and Facebook pages? I still can’t tell which way the flashdrive goes into this cockamamey thing!
What I do know about, however, is bullying. And man, I ain’t never seen bullying like the time the guy who called a black man “kaffer” in post-apartheid South Africa (2011!!) went after the guy who wrote a report on his blog.
