This is an awesome, culturally curious photograph of South African President Jacob Zuma. The dichotomy of world commerce and America's influence is screaming in this photo (for me anyhow). I'm verrrry entertained by his choice of new, fresh sneakers with his traditional attire. lololol

Poor Zuma is in the hotbox for being too virile- at his age, he's just fathered his 20th child. The problem is, he had this child with his friend's daughter (well of appropriate age, mind you). His 'friend' is a super powerful businessman who 'claims' he didn't know his friend Zuma had conceived a child with his daughter.

Ok...if you know squat about ancient history and how men, over good scotch, have paraded around younger women of their family in front of their other powerful male friends - you know there is a much smaller chance that this guy is telling the truth than not. Zuma came under fire previously for having relations with a girl with HIV but he says she consented, she says she didn't. I dunno who to believe - I'm just focusing on the ridiculousness of it all. We can point fingers at African culture but I dare you to make a list of all the politicians in America of all colors that have come 'out' or been found 'out' for having had extra-marital relations or some fetish that got blown out of their secret closet before you start pointing fingers.

I think when we put a lot of cultural/religious pressures on folks-most will cheat. They'll do so partly because of the pressure. Nowadays it's becoming hard to find a moral family without skeletons in the marital relations.

But...back to that photo. The story is listed below-and I'll beg you all not to make any half-witted racist comments. You can point fingers but you gotta diatribe about all the current US Congressmen making a mockery of their families too.
