Jake "White" La Motta
In a story that would rival even this blog in speculative, sensationalist and most importantly grossly inaccurate journalism, there are reports that Jake white was involved in a punch up. Sounds like quite a story, until you get to the actual facts. It is such a non event that I can't help but think that it's inception was only to further discredit Jake. I found the story on IOL, and I would paste the gist of it for you here, but unfortunately it is so badly written that the only way to include the facts is to grab the whole thing. Just read it here. It takes the shape of an email written whilst hungover. The only thing missing is the opening line: "Dude, you'll never guess what happened last night."
Basically the story goes that a journalist for "Die Son" was beat up in a bathroom stall of popular (read totally overrated) night club, News Cafe. Now "Die Son", for those who don't know, is a translation, and complete rip off of "the Sun." and having read a few copies myself I can tell you that you'll learn more from the back of a cereal box than this shit rag. Anyhoo, earlier the night Jake was in the bar, and during the course of the night got into a verbal altercation with said journo regarding yet another completely baseless and sensationalist article. The article had something to do with Luke Watson being kicked out of the Sharks for fucking another players wife. Editors note, That'd be pretty awesome if it was true. Later Jake again had words with the man, and left. The next day Jake hears from a friend of a friend that the guy got his ass kicked in the shitter, and now somehow it's his fault. Tell you what, I'm glad the dude didn't get hijacked or Jake would've been proper fucked.
Despite the incoherent rambling of the original article, the guy makes a good point at how this is very similar to the situation created to force Mallett out of the top job, and this may be a propaganda war against Jake. The man is a fucking saint at consummate professionalism for being able to do his job in this three ring circus. I have trouble focusing on my job when we run out of coffee, yet this man consistently performs in the middle of all of this. And what kind of fucking press agent allows this shit to go on. Vusi, you understand your job is to protect Jake and the Springbok management from these kinds of embarrassments right? I mean yes, going to the games for free is fun, and drinking the free booze is a nice perk, but you do actually have a job to do. They should just fire you and get Ari Gold, the greatest publicist in the world, at least he has his clients best interest in mind. For example, on trying to get his client's brother a job.
"You all have one goal today - to get Vincent Chase's brother, Johnny Chase a job - ANY job. I don't care if it's a porn shoot where he is being gang raped by a gaggle of silverback apes, if there are cameras rolling, everyone wins" ....Such talent.
Also I do believe I reported on this story before the nazis over at Keo did. Who's the beaatch now?!?!
P.S. I fully realise that my misleading title and image make the exact same mistake as all involved. There is one great difference though, I have made it very clear that my publication thrives on heresy and sensation, without it I have nothing. Also I heard that Bolla Conradie loves a little light spanking. You heard it here first.
