Title: The Burkina Faso thread
Post by: Maladict on August 27, 2016, 05:08:51 AM
Enquiring minds want to know. I think on the whole it should be allowed to exist, if that's what they want.

I would think that it's too warm, but each to his or her own.

I once had the chance to go to Burkina Faso. Didn't go.

The capital has got a great name, Ouagadougou.  If I was film maker working on a jungle picture that is what the natives would chant as they were boiling the white people in a giant pot.

Unfortunately, Burkina Faso is more of a tropical savanna country. :( Do we really want another CGI jungle, à la Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull?

As for jungle movies, maybe Uganda. A sequel for "who killed Captain Alex?" , the best Uganda action movie, with groundbreaking CGI!

Kampala!  Kampala!  Kampala!

Yeah, I guess that could work.

Edit:  Although it does have the sort of rhythm of the chant of the missing accountants in this Animaniacs episode:  The Heart of Twilight (rogue accountants at 4:45) (http://www.b99.tv/video/hearts-of-twilight-the-boids/).

Has this the place that offered James Burke political asylum when the Beeb wouldn't commission his fourth series of connections? :unsure:

Any news on Diendere?  I haven't heard anything about him since the coup failed.  Hopefully Kabore isn't planning to off him once the world's attention shifts from Burkina Faso.
