Popular Culture
The band Wall of Voodoo recorded the song "Tse Tse Fly" on their album Dark Continent.
In the 21st episode of Entourage "Exodus", Ari Gold uses the phrase "Tsetse Fly" to indicate that he is leaving his agency and invites other agents to join him. Ari mentions the phrase to some agents, who pass on the message by mentioning it to other agents. In a cruel twist of fate, one agent that Ari had belittled in the past, Adam Davies, sells out Ari instead of passing on the message. Ari is left without any support in his rebellion and is fired. Since the airing of the episode on August 28, 2005, the phrase "Tsetse Fly" has been adopted in business as a signal of disharmony within the organisation. Many businesses were 'stung' by the Tsetse Fly during the Global Financial Crisis.

In Jeff Winney’s California Concert Hall, patrons “bucked the tiger” under the watchful eye of Kitty Crawhurst, popular “lady” gambler.”

“The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
