When it first showed up on my screen, i told my self i didn't mind it. in fact i even vowed not to talk about it to any one because i knew every one will talk about it any way. But Alas, Ugandans are not like that they are never gossiping about what the entire world is jazzing about. When Obama makes a good speech, many will instead talk about his looks and when the topic is his looks, they will turn to some local celebrity.
How did i overlook that when i was watching the MTV VMAs last week, i kept thinking some snobby writer would write about Rihanna and Chris Brown's kiss but no one did plus i hated coming off as the intelligent dude who watched the VMAs instead of Obama's speech at the Convention.
so in that way i kept whatever i felt about that happening to my self and guess the lesson i learnt? Ugandans have no idea that the kiss even happened in fact many don't know that the awards even took place.
Just yesterday as i watched some Rihanna video i barely mind, i shouted out aloud 'how could she kiss him?', i did this to get them talk about the topic and trust me the response i got was alarming.
one woman asked me if she had kissed my brother and am annoyed about it, the other thought she had kissed Kanye West. at this moment i realized that i was talking to people who either don't watch TV, listen to radio, never check their face book and they never check any entertainment site.
in a twitter conversation with a radio presenter, i was like "oh Frank Ocean killed it at the VMAs", i was looking for a way of bringing up the kiss issue. her response was, "OK how that ocean kill them, they drowned?", that's when i knew she had no idea of who Frank Ocean was so i couldn't go on.
