Basejumping Off Chapmans Peak [VIDEO]
07 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
Can your brain even compute that headline? I mean seriously, WTF? And you know what kind of basejumping they’re doing? It’s not the one where they jump and pull the wire immediately – no, no – it’s the one where they wear a bat-suit, fly down the face of the mountain for a while and THEN they pull the wire. Insane! Check out the video!

Die Antwoord Releases “Evil Boy”
07 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
Die Antwoord have released their latest music vid on the interwebs, as they’re prone to. They’re pushing the usual Die Antwoord boundaries with copious bad haircuts, gold teeth, permanent markers, penises, tokoloshes, and handcuffs.
Oh yeah, probably NSFW, but in a comical, ridiculous, “is that a huge wooden knob?” kind of way [VIDEO].

That’s if you’re living in the UK. Indeed, recently-conducted research (which is is of course always reliable; remember the Da Vinci Code?) has indicated that Britons between the age of the thirty and forty are the most unhappy group of people in the whole world. What’s there to be unhappy about?

Those of us who have lived, or are currently living in the UK, will have seen scenes like these. On an almost daily basis, I might add. Freaks are not hard to come by in London or any big first world city, for that matter. Jonty Fisher just came back from New York and says […]

MARINE TAXIS SHOWS US THE BEST WAY TO FAIL
20 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 21 Comments
You know at school when you were playing cricket, or tennis, or badminton, or javelin, or whatever, and the coach lent in for a little advice? “Go hard.” That’s what every self-respecting coach tells his charges when the moment demands it.

You’ll recall we included an old newspaper article about Malema’s 19-month old promise to the kids and mentioned the fact that the Bobs For Good Foundation had unwittingly made good his lies.

UNIQUELY AUSTRALIAN BRITISH BOEREWORS

Wow, and there I was thinking we were confused! With our London taxis on the roads and people singing Ole Ole at the sports stadiums, we certainly are a melting pot of cultures and have become professionals at ‘borrowing’ foreign nation’s ideas, pastimes and even sayings. Not that there is anything wrong with that – […]
