Discussions on North Korea, for example -

"China, wey be ally, or paddy-paddy with North Korea, don say make everybodi return to talk about di matter, while Switzerland don offer to do referee; dem wan put eye and mouth, so dat di discussion no go turn to fight-fight."

Someone writes this for a living. I love them.
