"Braaivleis" in popular culture

General Motors South Africa used the term in the 1970s in its localized jingle "Braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies, and Chevrolet" to advertise their cars in South Africa —equivalent to the slogan "baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet" in the US and, to a lesser extent, "football, meat pies, kangaroos & Holden Cars" used in Australia.[2]

Announcer: "Hey, South Africa, what's your favourite food?"
Crowd: "Braaivleis!"
Announcer: "Sport?"
Crowd: "Rugby!"
Announcer: "Weather?"
Crowd: "Sunshine!"
Announcer: "Car?"
Crowd: "Chevrolet!"
Announcer: "All together?"
Crowd (singing): Braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and Chevrolet! Braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and Chevrolet! They go together, in the good old RSA. Braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and Chevrolet!

Is that dippy or dopey or whateverthefuckhescalled? The guys a compleate c**t.

Frankly I'd be very happy to set up some sort of exchange whereby we get to send a bunch of our pretend tough rappers to one of the dodgier parts of inner city America to see how long they survive and you guys get to send a few of your real gangsta guys to the Scottish highlands in the winter.

Lately the tourist from the UK visiting us just pop over to kill their wives then they jump back on a plane.

But that said I invite both the American and English to survive about a hour or two in Hillbrow. The murder rate there is one of the highest in the world outside a war zone

Maybe you should try and turn that into a positive thing. You could charge other countries to send their undesirables there to do "community service", or you could set up some "Mad Max" themed adventure holiday.

I was more thinking in the lines of Survivor Africa. Screw the bushes and rice eating on some beach. They dont have to vote each other off even as they would get shot by some nigerian merchant or some glue sniffer looking for a pair of Diesel boots. Would be the best one ever

I actually read somewhere on a travel blog that if you go to extremes, either bat shit thug life crazy, or extreme tacticool commando gear with cammo....you will pretty much fit in everywhere but people will look at you like a retard.

Its also a good way to avoid being mugged I guess....
