An entertainment lounge in Kenya has Mzansi amused after using a Father's Day celebration to poke fun at The Polygamist’s character Jonasi. While hosting patrons over the festive weekend, the venue showed a funny parade using its floor staff. Waiters walked through the crowd holding LED bottle presenter boards featuring a very specific message.
