I have long been a massive fan of Zapiro’s work. He is subtle and harsh at the same time, can be filled with innuendo or blatant points poking fun at everyone and anyone who he believes deserves a bit of poking. The man is a genius and is recognised widely as such and hated by many if they feel poked at.
You can find the “real life” Zapiro characters (which it worked out well with all the “Z’s”!) on Zoopy. You can have a look at all of the live episodes on Zoopy now.
Here is the intro and another video for your viewing pleasure.

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it’s Nelson Mandela’s month of celebration. Let’s be honest, a man like Madiba can’t merely have a single day to celebrate his 90th birthday.
He held a 46664 concert in London, a friend of mine sat next to him on the plane back from that wearing shorts and a t-shirt and Mandela still spoke to him for a while. That’s incredible.
And now it seems as though the trend online is to create special reports, dedicated pages or homages to the man himself.
I have picked my favourite two and suggest that you visit them.
First off the gentlemen from Zoopy have once again impressed me with their incredible design touch and depth of content. Their Madiba page leaves little to the imagination, everything you could possibly want in multimedia content is there for your to see.
Their dedicated page is filled with pictures, video, photos and you are able to leave your comment to Mandela on the page. I suggest you do that! If you have a Zoopy profile and have content of Mandela that you would like to share be sure to tag the content with “madiba90″ and it will pull through to the page. If you don’t have a Zoopy account, get one.
This page screams of class, sophistication and honour. The perfect way to dedicate a page to Nelson Mandela.
Their content is much more historical and educational. You can read/listen to speeches from Madiba, you can view a timeline of his life, watch video, see photos and view soundslides of his past. All in all a fantastic tribute to Mandela on his 90th Birthday.
UPDATE: This is why the guys at Zoopy are all the way up there on my list of top sites. I just received an email from Jason at Zoopy apologising for the invisible embed code. He also sent through the code, so here is the video!
