Steyn van Ronge – the new leader of the AWB

The New AWB Leader Doesn’t Look A Thing Like Kenny Rogers – His name is Steyn van Ronge. He is a third generation Free State farmer, and now the permanent new leader of the Afrikaaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB). His job: to implement a security plan to keep farmers safe, and organise a white homeland. I see what they’re doing here. No revenge, but give us our homeland. After all, you killed our leader. Clever. [dailymaverick]

What Sandra Bullock’s Sex Tape Means – Ja, apparently there’s a sex tape. Sorry, I forgot to tell you about that. It may be that, even in the long history of Hollywood depravity, this is the big one: Never before has an actress, a girl-next-door actress at that, been so publicly tagged with an account of such extraordinary sexual behavior. What does this mean for me and you? [newser]

Mango Offices Raided Probably For In-Flight Magazine – That’s the bit they left out of this report. Is it not a bit of a coincidence that April brought a new cover, for their in-flight magazine “Juice?” Given that this now means the March issue with 2oceansvibe on the cover (which has now become a collector’s issue), has been removed from the planes. I feel so bad that, in a way, I caused this. [news24]

A Treasure Trove Of Steve Job Stories – A couple weeks ago they asked readers about their run-ins with Steve Jobs, and they delivered. But now they have more interactive encounters with Tech’s ultimate demigod. The Apple CEO is quietly ubiquitous, seen from Palo Alton to SoHo, from Whole Foods to Gotham catwalks, a shaggy-dressing crazy driver who’s kind to strangers. [valleywag]

Anti-Wrinkle Creams: Bullshit – New tests by Consumer Reports indicate that “anti-wrinkle creams” are bullshit. They join numerology, juice-based “cleanses,” buttocks-toning shoes, autism-causing vaccines, cookie diets, the science of “branding,” wine criticism, and “pheromone“-infused body wash on the list of Bullshit Things.
