I don't know if you call it a fake or what...but it's a brilliant put-on.

The dude in that Ninja video, Leon Botha is pretty interesting too...SA artist and one the longest living people with progeria.

Wow, I mean, a lot of the stuff in that article is exactly what went through my head when I watched these videos the other day.

The videos are funny-- an especially memorable shot in "Zef Side" shows a slow-motion close up of Ninja's swinging balls underneath Dark Side of the Moon boxers-- but there is also a post-modern Ali G factor. Considering the mix of absurdity, genuine talent, and impressive production values, you can't help but think "are these guys for real?" while first watching the videos. And it's that curiosity that made me temporarily obsessed with Die Antwoord on first glance; I spent a solid hour following links and browsing message boards like Hipinion for clues. (So far, requests for an interview with the band have yet to produce results.) In the middle of "Enter the Ninja", Jones puffs his chest and says, "This is like the coolest song I heard in my whole life." The video's rush of extreme otherness is so intoxicating that-- for just a split second-- you almost agree with him.

But this made me think dude was literally reading my mind:

It's like crunk via Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker" video.

...because seriously, that's exactly what I thought of.
