More Mad Ads - Prof Bumba and Nangi Herbals

Here are a few more pamphlets making crazy magical claims, as handed out on streets in South Africa. I'm not going to describe these mad ads in much detail - these things get kind of repetitive at some point. Thanks to readers who sent in contributions and links, whicih will all be added eventually.

First up, we have Prof Bumba, based in Johannesburg. The Professor seems to have the power to be in four places at once, given the list of premises. Helpfully, you can use sms to make appointments.
























Then we have Nangi Herbals, including the thoughtfully bundled package of schlong related services, the '3 in 1 Penis Combo':

























Someone should be printing these things on T-Shirts.

Having only just happened across your blog - schlong is one of my very favourite words by the way - I was wondering whether you have ever had occasion to delve into the pages of the Daily Sun. My favourite lead story of all time is "Gay tokoloshe gave me Aids".

I also think schlong is a terrific word. (It deserves a collective noun, don't you think?) And no, I don't treat myself to the pleasures of the Daily Sun often enough. I do still have an old headline from the Natal Mercury (as it then was) reading: "Sex fiend's friend accused of stealing bike in Durban". And thank you for the tweet as well...

@sarah: They've got some great ones at the Sun. I loved the one after we beat Australia in that famous ODI cricket game: "Jou ma se 434--we'll make more!", or another I saw on a lampost in Cape Town: "Cops het ons familie dik gebliksem!"
