Do you like the Spitting Image song 'Never met a nice South African'?

The other evening whilst trawling through some of my mums Spitting Image DVD's I encountered a song called 'Never met a nice South African.' The lyrics are to be honest very funny indeed and in traditional Spitting Image fashion take the Michael out of the Apartheid rule in South Africa.

Please watch and give me some of your opinions:

    I am a South African and I am very nice... to other South Africans. Unfortunately, when encountering foreigners who believe or subscribe to the above, the response becomes a reation. I think another possibility that we come across as not "nice" is because we live in a society that is quite severe. There isn't much space for small talk - show me who you are and I'll show you who I am - lets not waste time being "polite" and drinking tea. I think that's the way South Africans see things.
