The Amazing Race - Family Edition
The Amazing Race- Family Edition started showing on South African television last week and imagine how surprised we we're when the only black family in the race surname is 'Black'. So we decided to adopt this family as Pun City's favourite contestants and we'll be rooting for them.
For the benefit of viewers with ADD, this year’s token black team is conveniently enough named the Black family. They are very nicely wearing blinding tie-dye T-shirts so you can distinguish them from other teams.
Who wants Wackhead when you can get Punhead
Paul Rotherham is not only a well known DJ on Radio Station 94.7, but he's also the superhero of puns, dropping them at every occasion.
When asked what is his favourite pun he replied:
"It's priceless! Though out of context like this it really wouldn't make much cents."
We'll try our best to get a interview with Paul for this blog. Watch this space
No pun intended
So you must be wondering what on earth inspired us to make a website about puns..... Before I go into detail let me first explain exactly what a pun is.
Definition: A pun is the clever or humorous use of a word that has more than one meaning, or of words that have different meanings but sound the same.
It's kind of like word play taken overboard and most people really find it irritating, hense the word- 'PUNnishment' (I can see you cringing)... Well that's exactly what this blog is about, it's a way for us creatives to let go of all the puns inside us and to let them all just mingle in Pun City.
