We all have our lapses of judgment. But some of us make such horrendously poor decisions that one simply has to ask, “What were they on?”. Every week we bring you three contenders in what can only be described as a battle of small wits. So, with great pleasure we present this week’s three La Fee Absinthe-Minded Moment of the Week finalists. Inside we have the Beckham’s, the Environmental Affairs Department, and Floyd Shivambu. But who claims the prize for the most mindbogglingly foolish tomfoolery of the week? Click through to find out!
Third place – the Beckham’s
There were two baby stories this week. A huge one was born in Texas weighing in at over seven kilograms, and then there was the birth of the Beckham’s little girl. It’s always quite a fascinating time when the couple decides to have a child because the suggested naming of it has become a bit of a game for everyone around the world. And this was their first daughter! Probably the only people that didn’t have a guess were the uncontacted Amazon tribes. Harper Seven was the choice. Nobody got it right, obviously. The latest is that Harper was chosen by Victoria – English and traditional, and Seven, is daddy’s old jersey number.
Second place – the Environmental Affairs Department
Things are likely a little slower in the Environmental Affairs Department, because let’s face it – their job is mostly about the outdoors and appreciating nature and stuff. Last year, alleged rhino poaching kingpin, Dawie Groenewald, was arrested with 10 others and subsequently faces charges of illegally trading in rhino horns, fraud and corruption. Yesterday, the department said Groenewald is allowed to obtain new hunting permits, despite the charges against him. Drinking a little absinthe instead of water on our bush walks now are we, department?
The winner – Floyd Shivambu
Floyd probably cannot wait for all this swearing nonsense to go away so he can get on with his life. Shame Floyd, it must have been a tough couple of days for you once this story started getting a lot of people’s attention. It’s good that you made a statement about it all yesterday though Floyd, on Facebook nogal. Good that you got it off your chest, you know? But, you should have apologised for your foul language, and you didn’t. Come on, you F-bombed three times Floyd. That’s three more shots of absinthe for you my friend!
