The handsome Mr Fraser
To many people, if pressed on the matter of naming a Jamaican culteral Icon, they would, 9 times out of ten most likely go for Bob Marley, the legendary Reggae musician, Louise Simone Bennett-Coverley or Miss Lou, OM, OJ, MBE, poet, social commentator, folklore, writer and much more or Mr Fraser..MR FRASER?? Who is Mr Fraser?
Well, let me fill you in on this one. Mr Fraser is one handsome cat and an all round good guy. The UK burst into roars of laughter when a comedy show called The Real McCoy jumped onto the nations screens. The Real McCoy featured artists from the Caribbean area and the comedy, combined with a patois accent had the nation in stitches.
Mr Fraser was a Jamaican version of Rab C Nesbitt and well worth watching. I have added one of my favourite clips, "Mr Fraser Video dating"
The background to this clip is Mr Fraser, took the advice from the psychologist, who told him that his nymphomaniac wife needed glasses to stop her "bothering" him all the time, the diagnosis was based on the fact that Mr Fraser is less than handsome, has long tatty hair and bad teeth. Anyway, Mr F in not one to be put down so easily, he goes into a video dating booth..
