No man. No man, come now. Have you seen this place? You need to see this place. Have you seen it? Have you seen the beach? You can spit on it from your lounge. Have you seen how white it is? It’s so white. If you’re worried about the feasibility of living in an entirely white home, sssh. If you have the money to buy this place, you have the money to have a dedicated surface integrity maintenance technician on 24 hour standby.

Ferial Haffajee took to Twitter to voice her concerns over racism, after she and her City Press colleagues took part in a meeting, “to have a discussion about a genuine future, to find ways of altering our work patterns, to do wonderful journalism”.

Bad Lip Reading started small, as a humble YouTube channel that gently poked fun by dubbing over the audio of videos, and saying what it looked like the person in question was saying. But they have now taken on a totally different challenge, trying to string together a movie-length narrative from the first few seasons of Game of Thrones. You absolutely have to see how these guys have totally, utterly and profoundly altered Game of Thrones forever.

On that fateful day that Miley twerked, foam-fingered and tongue-rolled her way into infamy, it seemed as if the whole world had turned on the once-innocent teen-pop sensation. That was until Paul McCartney came to the rescue.

Remember Harry Wilson? Well his granddad was either a soothsayer, a genius, or a lucky old fool. Grandpa placed a £50 bet on Harry to play for the Welsh football team, when Harry was only 18 months old. Harry’s debut just nabbed his Granddad £125,000 (R1,970,000).

Eight months ago, a massive meteor exploded over Russia (what with Russia being so frikkin’ massive, it was bound to happen), and the world was enraptured by images and videos of the alien rock streaking across the Russian sky. Locals were beside themselves, scouring the snowy landscape to find any little fragments of space-rock. But recently, a team of divers hit the motherload – and hauled up one of the biggest meteorites of all time.

Some people like to watch fat men try to ramp over a dirty river in an inflatable tube – and fail. And then there’s some people who like to watch other people being murdered. Now, YouTube is the place to go for funny cat videos, but where can a man get some good old snuff? The answer, up until quite recently,was BestGore.com. That was, until it’s owner was arrested for “corrupting morals”.

Much like Genghis Khan did in the in the early 1100’s, the Candy Crush Saga game is taking over the world, one woman at a time. The game is a variation of the “match-three” game format, similar to Bejeweled, where players attempt to make connections between three candies of the same colour. Sound boring? Some women might disagree – they’re spending £400,000 a day on this game.

Goodbye, TopTV. Fare thee well, for you are no more. After suffering months and months of severe brand damage by asking, being denied, asking again, and being denied again for permission to flight porn channels, the owners of the TopTV brand, On Digital Media have decided to pack it in.

Slavery. Legally practiced for 11,000 years, abolished by the English in 1833 – the practice seems,on the surface at least, to be a thing of the past. But now, the publishing of the Global Slavery Index has revealed the existence of up to 30 million ‘modern slaves’ in 162 countries.

Aaah, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For 40 years it has stood on the North Coast Harbour of Cleveland, Ohio – a shining beacon of Rock and Roll, celebrating the lives and achievements of the genre’s most influential figures. Every year it is obliged to induct a few more Rock heroes, and this year is no different. Here are the nominees for 2014.

Exactly one month ago we posted a story about someone in Northampton dressing up as Pennywise from Stephen King’s It. He was spotted prowling the grungy streets of Northampton at night, holding flowers or juggling balls. He has since become a global sensation, but opinion was mixed in the town. Some residents praised the man, but some called for his arrest. And, after a month of infamy – the clown has finally been nabbed.

This is an absolute deusy!

A Texas-based Spanish teacher, Cristy Nicole Deweese, has come under fire from the school board, after students discovered she had posed nude in some full-frontal photos for playboy.

Organisations like the WHO, the British regulator MHRA and other health-oriented NGOs are all putting in as much effort as they can to spread the bad news about e-cigarettes. They’ve even gone so far as to publish false information about e-cigarettes, backed up by fake surveys. So what gives?

The low-battery icon has become a symbolic image of how smartphones have developed. Yes, our cellphones have come in leaps and bounds since the humble beginnings of the Nokia 3310. But there is one department in which we have lacked going forward – battery life. This problem, though, is soon to be one of the past – as a company called Dark Energy is making it possible to not have to plug your phone in for a whole week.

Being South Africans, we’ve become quite accustomed to those coffee table books with pictures of the big five sprawled on the cover. Heck, most of us have seen at least some of the big five in person – no biggie. But never have we got a glimpse into the nocturnal lives of these magnificent animals.

We’re sad to present proof that the kinds of people who troll the comments section of News24 exist in real life. What we have here is a highly-educated, classicly trained, contemporaneously-trained New Yorker screaming at a street busker for being a “no talent, self-consumed, mediocre piece of shit.”

Beneath every good YouTube video is a solid base of profoundly moronic comments. One almost fees obliged to get involved and set the trolls straight, but this always ultimately leads to severe keyboard bashing, and the eventual trolling of the troll himself. That was until The YouTube Comments Choir burst onto the scene

Everybody needs their own “mood-room” or “creative space” where they can go to seek inspiration, find solitude, and get down to some serious creative work. For most students, it’s a small wooden desk with strands of two-minute-noodle dangling off the edges. For office-workers, it’s a slightly bigger wooden desk, but without any noodles. But where did Einstein, Steve Jobs and Rudyard Kipling do their work? Take a look.

What do Ryan Giggs, Gareth Bale, and Harry Wilson have in common? They’re all football genuises, they’re all from Wales, and none of them have ever played for England. Although, that might change very shortly.

Will Ferrell has done it again in his new mini-series, “Spoils of Babylon”. Produced by Ferrell’s own Funny or Die label, it is a truly weird adaptation of a non-existent novel by Eric Jonrosh. Ferrell does play a major part in the series, but only as the voice of Jonrosh. He appears later, however, as the Shah of Iran. Quality.

Talk about going beyond the call of duty. Corporal Josh Hargis was with his special operations unit in Panjwal, Afghanistan, when a woman detonated a suicide bomb vest nearby, triggering the explosion of 13 other bombs. Four of Hargis’ men were killed, and 12 other soldiers were badly wounded, including Hargis himself.

Why did the Bieber go to China? To make a new music video, obviously. Earlier this month, there were a few photos going around of Justin being hauled up the Great Wall of China by his bodyguards, sitting on their shoulders like some sort of Roman Emperor. Now a video of the music video has been leaked online – cue the screaming.

Cats have been ousted as the most popular animal on social media for the minute, and have been replaced by a 6-month old pig named ‘Jamon’ from São Paulo, Brazil. The pigs owner is a bit of a funny one, often dressing his pig up as a turtle. (What?)

Has it been a year already? Geez. I’m sure we all remember trying to get our Wifi connections pitch-perfect to watch the most momentous skydive in history – only to be told a few minutes later that the jump was cancelled. But eventually, the magnanimous Felix Baumgartner did take the jump

There’s no question that Eminem has had a rough ride throughout his life – always at odds with how he coped with the atrocities of his early life, and how he managed his new life in the spotlight. He took a four-year hiatus after releasing Encore in 2004, and his two most recent albums Relapse and Recovery, were a bit hit and miss, with many fans claiming to have lost the real slim shady.
