Man Found Alive In Haiti Rubble, Four Weeks Later – That woman who was “miraculously” saved 15 days after the earthquake is going to be pissed off about this one. Four weeks is pretty hard to beat. Personally I would have held out a bit longer – just in case. I reckon David Blaine could do a few months. In a block of ice. Under the rubble. [cnn]
Google Advertises During The Super Bowl – Google — a big advertising company that doesn’t advertise — debuted at the Super Bowl Sunday.

Megan Fox Uses Hand Double For Super Bowl Ad – Suffering from a genetic condition called brachydactyly, which means she has clubbed thumbs, Megan Fox’s Motorola Super Bowl ad required the work of a hand model.

Advocate Barbie Back In The High Court – But the comments section under the story makes for more entertaining reading : “This person has been dragged through the mud by the media for years. she has paid dearly. She must not do any time in jail. That will not benefit anybody. She should do community service – and no better place to start than at my place. Every Wed and Fri just after 3 pm. Bring wine and toys..” [iafrica]
Stowaway Freezes In Boeing Wheel Well – It’s a pretty ballsy undertaking, sneaking into the wheel mechanics of a New York to Tokyo flight, with just a long sleeve top and a jean pant on. Turns out the guy froze to death. Bloody fool. It’s occasions like this that I would have worn my reversible Instinct jacket, circa 1993. [huffers]
George W Bush Billboard Appears On Highway – A billboard with a massive photo of George W Bush pulling one of his stupid faces, with the caption “Miss Me Yet,” has appeared next to a highway in the US, somewhere near Wyoming.

So, Are Die Antwoord Really Zef? – After research into the group’s impressive marketing techniques, M&G reports : “Not at all, although many who aren’t familiar with Ninja’s (Wadkin Tudor-Jones) and Yo-Landi’s (Yolandi Visser) other guises (read: overseas audiences) have assumed they are. They were both involved in MaxNormal.TV and the Constructus Corporation, with different names, background stories and characters.” Genius! [mail&guardian]
“The Worst Thing About The Smoking Ban,” By Jeremy Clarkson – As we know, the ban on smoking in public places, and the misery of being forced to stand outside like a naughty dog every time you want a fag, has caused almost everyone to give up. When you are allowed to smoke, there’s a sense still that if you do, you’ll be the only one. Lighting up at a drinks party is a bit like standing there masturbating. [timesuk]
