For more:

• Mail & Guardian: Gupta-TV launch met with a series of WTFs? OK, look, we shouldn't mock others when they are clearly going through Hell, but let's face it... it started going downhill from "Hello, I am..."

  Here are some videos for you... on the bright side, it can only get better, right?*

  And here's one in which the Aussie captain has apparently had a sex change...

  That's enough to make the eyes water.

  *After these videos were posted on YouTube, they were taken down or disabled, but since then what EWN refers to as a Cape Town TV critic has called for the YouTube video clips to be restored.

• Mail & Guardian: Jimmy Manyi: Gupta TV's Oprah... Here's...Jimmyyyyy... could he be SA's answer to Oprah, oh could he?

• Mail & Guardian: Iqbal Survé threatens to 'expose' M&G... and in the 'cloak without dagger / I smell a conspiracy' department, South Africa's newest newspaper mogul, Iqbal Survé, says he might 'expose' the Mail & Guardian. Mail & Guardian reports him as suggesting the publication might be 'controlled by the CIA'.

  Shades of "'Allo', 'Allo'... Zis is Night'awk... What are our instructions for today? 'Oo do we trash?"

  The mind boggles... as if the CIA hasn't got enough on its plate what with Egypt, Syria, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange etc.
