Stella Nyanzi, the Makerere University academic, was sentenced last week to 18 months in prison. She was convicted under the country’s cybercrime laws of “harassing” Yoweri Museveni, after the publication of her poem that attacked the president’s record in office in the most vulgar terms possible

Call me a jerk if you want, but I'm actually impressed with this woman's brass ovaries, and also for the sheer creativity of the piece. :)

Sheer creativity?

“I wish the acidic pus flooding [your mother’s] cursed vaginal canal had burnt up your unborn fetus.”

I hope it at least rhymes in the original language.

And the corrupt “president” is still in office, siphoning off money from the folks, who remain poor and hopeless. Reminds me of Baltimore and every other democrat-run city.

I won’t call you a jerk, but I will dare you to post that “poem” here. If you please.

(lol)

She does have a talent for creative cursing.

Kinda reminds me of our friend Laz when he goes off on a tangent.

Someone should have done something about Maya Angelou pretending to be a poet. Kinda like some of the rappers pretending to be musicians.

Wow, cool poem.

Here's true poetry.

She also bared her breasts and screamed obscenities.

Cool.

Don’t talk about my mama is International?

Who knew?

[Kriggerel]

Yeah, unfortunately the language in that piece is WAAAAAAY too blue to directly post on here without getting the *zot*. :P

In Uganda?
She’s lucky she didn’t get eaten.

If Idi Amin were still alive that would happen.

Coming soon to America if the communists have their way.
