Comments on: Die Antwoord's $O$ album drops Oct. 12, the Amazon description is somethin' else http://boingboing.net/2010/10/11/die-antwoords-o-albu.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Fri, 24 May 2013 16:39:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: penguinchris http://boingboing.net/2010/10/11/die-antwoords-o-albu.html#comment-910083 penguinchris Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-910083 What the heck was the description? It's been changed apparently - unless you all think "2010 release from the Cape Town, South Africa Rap trio (Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek). The band mixes several different cultures and styles into one unique whole." is somehow hilarious. Their website is now "Dirk f*cks whores." repeated hundreds of times with an entrancing psychedelic color change effect, so I can't read the bio on their website where this description supposedly was taken from.

Good thing I'm a journalist and I can pass it off as "research."

That text was copied from their bio on their website. Kinda odd you wouldn't have spotted that, considering you are the huge fans you proclaimed to be. Poes! *stolls away nonchalantly* He didn’t write that specifically for Amazon. That text was copied from their bio on their website.

I have more respect for the guy now that I have that context. I just thought he was your garden variety up-and-comer before. That's also the funniest Amazon description I've ever read for anything.
