UPDATE: Donovan Tooth has now spoken about receiving death threats, and calls to boycott his business. Read more on that here…

Some thoughts really are best kept to oneself.

But then along came social media, providing a platform for us to broadcast our thoughts to the world, and that’s not always a good thing.

Take this guy, for example.

We know his name, that he is from Somerset West, and where he works (the clue is on his t-shirt), and within a few clicks on social media, you’ll find his LinkedIn profile, his Facebook profile, and even his podcast.

I’m sure it’s some well informed and highbrow content. Here’s a snippet of the podcast’s synopsis:

Do you have a nagging feeling that deep down inside, you know that you can amount to something bigger in life and that you are capable of more? But how? These answers lie within this show.

The nagging feeling I’m getting is that this is a guy without many (if any) actual female friends, due in large part to the fact that he hates women.

Why am I taking the piss out of ‘this guy’? Well, here’s a rant he went on earlier in the week, where he discusses “chubby f*cking women” and “overweight little hippos”.

His advice? “Bitch, get on a treadmill, and lose the f*cking weight!”

Spew hate for three and a half minutes, finish off with “have a lekker day” and a big thumbs up. The cognitive dissonance is quite something to behold.

He also filmed the entire thing while driving.

We won’t share his personal details, but perhaps this can serve as another reminder that spewing awful, hate-filled, unsolicited opinions about other people’s bodies comes with repercussions.

South Africa really has had enough of this kak.

UPDATE: Yesterday, Donovan Tooth offered this apology:

He added in the comments:

I did over 40 takes over 40min to try get the right words to apologize for the video I put out yesterday. I was sincere and I meant every word. Once again I am truly and deeply sorry for any hurt I have caused. I apologize again to everyone that was affected by my video.

As we said, it’s going to be a rough few days…

SECOND UPDATE: He appears to have deleted his Facebook account, along with the apology video…
