Yusuf Asylum
Recent rumours have suggested that Mike Stopforth of Cerebra / 27dinner’s fame has retreated from the limelight, in favour of a remote sanctuary in the Port St. Johns.
We asked Mike’s colleagues about his decision to bow out, in spite of being in the prime of his extraordinary career. Asking to remain anonymous, Mike’s employees said :
“We were never too sure how he was going to cope with his fame, Ghandi struggled, Mandela struggled and now it appears Mike is struggling coming to grips with his rise to the ascendancy.”
“Mike don’t go, don’t go” slobbered another employee, whilst another stated “Mike has been like a gay uncle to me, he touched my heart in more ways than one”.
It appears it is not only his employees who’ve struggled to take the news but others in the online community too. Hell once we found out the detrimental side effects of bursting the Mike Demi – God bubble we had to try it on more victims so we interviewed as many as we could.
Gustav Bertram stoically remarked, “the borg giveth and the borg taketh away”.
Nick Rocky Haralambous whilst convulsing on the floor and rolling his eyes in a rather unattractive fashion spluttered the words, “no, not him, it can’t be,no,no,no – he was my one true love” and as the words apple blossom scrolled across his vacant eyes we couldn’t help but feel a pang of disgust.
Charl Norman wept openly and posted a lament on his website – the piece included visions of a future without MIke, a world without a mountain. With sweeping metaphors and penned illusions Charl Painted a world in which the offices of web startups were devoid of Nintendo Wiis and X-boxes, and strange developers.
Rafiq Phillips said “this is notalossbut teh beginning, the apple does not fall far from the source, let the people of the wwworld free”
We tracked down mike, and although he refused to comment, he produced a small brochure with the details of his retreat on it – and we are ashamed to report the pricing is reasonable. The Yusuf Asylum package includes one free massage with a happy ending, accommodation, and includes a free bronze mike – statuette which when tipped produces a liquid remarkably similar to Jack Daniels.
Mike leaves behind a powerful legacy and his team @cerebra who for those interested can check up on at www.cerebra.co.za . For those more enamoured with Mike, you can find his personal blog at www.mikestopforth.com however in light of what we now know the site is said to be changing to www.mikestopped.co.za

Ha ha – brilliant. It is no secret that I’ve struggled at length with my sexual identity and that more than a few good looking men out there find me drop dead gorgeous, but this is just too much – I’m flattered
As for my retirement, in an ironic twist I really was advised last night that I retreat to a monastery
Had a good chuckle seeing it here too.
Lastly, I’ll pay good (retirement) money to someone who can create a “free bronze mike – statuette which when tipped produces a liquid remarkably similar to Jack Daniels” – I sense another business opportunity!!!
Thanks for the article!
We humbly bow in your presence Yusuf and we are humbled by your presence. The tipping-Mike is on its way – it will be sent god speed – so expect it sometime in the world’s near future.
Hahaha..funny stuff
I’m in! Sad to know that MikeStopped…
Ha Roger, Mike would prefer it if you refer to him as Yusuf. His anglicized name ‘Mike’ is considered the lesser label and a reflection of the western imperialism he now despises.
He is taking pre-bookings though and from what I’ve heard his retreat is quite something. You’d have to leave your mac at the door though, his ‘conversion’ from cyber entrepreneur to real world guru has left him somewhat jealous of one Steven Jobs another cyber entrepreneur turned Shaman.
