Micky Mouse in South Africa

Lucky Dube was shot to death while someone tried to steel his car In South Africa. I hear South Africa has a particularly difficult time with cars getting stolen.

Lucky was a Rugby player for a South African team. He was highly popular. A fan said something to the effect "Lucky was an icon. He fought for freedom in his own way. For him to be shot while some guy steels his car is pretty Micky Mouse to me."  It trips me out that the term "Micky Mouse" means the same thing in South Africa that it means in my neighborhood. It is on the level of "Chicken Shit", or possibly "flimsy".
