Learn 2 Surf This Summer
13 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So summer’s here folks. I’m not sure if you’ve been noticing the incremental increase in temperature, the gradually lengthening days, the proliferation of billionaires on yachts off of Clifton – the usual tell tale indicators that a change has been effected in the seasons. And you know what? Maybe, just maybe its time you learned to surf

Zeitgeist 2010: Google’s Year in Review
10 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Maybe it’s a little early to be getting nostalgic, the Google’s Zeitgeist 2010 has you ‘Re-live top events and moments from 2010 from around the globe through search, images, and video.’ South Africans can go ahead and skip to 2:05, though, because that’s where the important part of 2010 really starts.

Friday Afternoon Tasty Treat – Retro Music Video
10 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Remember that song called “Jump On It!”? Sure you do. You used to graunch to that sing in your parents’ garage, with your Back to The Future hi-tops and lumo green laces. That one. This song is what that song is based on, it’s called “Apache”, and the video is face-palmingly awesome. Please enjoy the simulated keyboard dry-humping, among other delights.

Public Service Announcement From Seth: Money
09 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Every now and then I drop one of these public service announcements, because I love you and you should know about them. Love is an action, not an emotion, okay?
Think about that. I’m acting out my love for you.

NMA Explains Assange’s Situation [VIDEO]
09 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Watch the video – it should bring you up to speed. Oh, animated Taiwanese news clips. You educate, you entertain, you sort of fail to make sense despite sticking to the facts. What can’t you do? Are you free for lunch some time? Coffee, maybe?

Two Blondes, One Screaming, In A BMW M3 Frozen Edition [VIDEO]
09 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Yes, I know that headline sounds like something you should be thinking about whilst in a dark room with a towel, but it’s actually rather funny. Sabine Schmitz takes CAR magazine’s Juliet McGuire around Zwartkops in a matte-black M3 Frozen Edition.

Tribute To John Lennon: I Met The Walrus [VIDEO]
08 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s been thirty years since John Lennon was murdered by a man who got a little bit too excited about his music for his own good, and for John’s, for that matter. In any event, we bring you a truly remarkable short film made in 2007 by a man who as a teen interviewed Lennon in his hotel room. It bears repeating on this infamous day.

Robot Wallets
07 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Paying things with cards is weird for me. I mean obviously the convenience of having a plastic card that gets me stuff is great – I got to take advantage of the Threadless sale, for instance – but without that tangible sense of loss at having to fork over a wad of cash, there is the risk of going overboard is substantial. Folks at MIT have some ideas about that.

Well Played, Google Books
07 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s a Tuesday morning, so I can only assume you’re hung-over too. Right? Yeah, see, we understand each other. You don’t want to read anything too demanding right now. So how about an image that you’ll stare at for a couple of seconds before snorting, and saying ‘I see what you did there,’ before going on with your day?

That’s right my lovelies. The beach boys. At the Cape Quarter. More specifically, in our studio, this morning, at 1oh00.

Dead Hobo: Hero Of WW2
06 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
During World War 2, a dead tramp from London was shipped to Italy, given an elaborate backstory by Ian Fleming (of James Bond fame), dressed as a British soldier and supplied with fake British invasion plans. What I’m saying is he was a zombie spy. So as it happens, zombies have been du jour since the mid 1940s.

Fantastic Cash4Gold Scam
06 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Oh, internet. I love you. This little gem popped up over the weekend, and I thought you might like it. This guy repeatedly attempted to sell Cash4Gold ‘zip lock bag[s] of gold painted rocks,’ and eventually got an angry letter in response. Which he has framed. There are references to quadriplegic prostitutes. Click through for transcription.

UCT Rugby Naked Calendar
06 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The Italian Football side did it for D&G. Helen Mirren et al did it for a local hospital in the movie Calendar Girls. Now, UCT’s MC Marais XV have stripped off for charity and an annual tour. Ladies and Gentlemen (although this one is definitely more for the laydeez), I present the 2011 MC Marais Naked Calendar:

You Don’t Need To Win The Lottery To Buy An Awesome Boat
03 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I may have rushed to get to the moral of the story with the headline there. I’m sorry. It’s just that I got so excited because the HMS Invincible is for sale! The Invincible is big enough to carry 22 aircraft (not included), and is available second-hand, previously owned by a lovely old lady who only took it to war on Sundays.

Lingerie, Wrestling, And Politics
02 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s Thursday. Look at this video. It’s partially a rant on nanny-state politics, so you can watch it and act like you’re smart and politically engaged, and it also has footage of ladies in lingerie playing American football, which is relevant to the debate at hand, but also good for its own sake. SFW

Make Your Parties More Exciting With The Magic Of Photoshop
02 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Holiday party photos are boring. imgur user Everet Hiller make them more fun with fake celebrities! “My wife and I have a holiday party every year and every year when I send out the photos I add famous people to the images,” he says. Which is great, because now I have a legitimate reason to look through a complete stranger’s holiday photos on the internet.

I Hope This Gets To You: Sending Love Letters Through The Blogosphere
01 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Generally we don’t like putting the words ‘love’ and ‘viral’ in the same sentence, because they’re usually followed with ‘should clear up after a round of penicillin.’ Thankfully, this online love-letter-video-thing isn’t the kind you need protection for; it’s a guy’s attempt at reaching his long-distance girlfriend virally over the internet.

More Gems From Google Street View
24 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well, alright, I’ll level with you, one of these two awesome pictures is a fake. Except they’re both fantastic – one displaying a street-side birth, the other with a naked dude climbing out of the trunk of a car. So either way, you’ve got at least one fantastic thing being given to you by your friendly neighborhood stalker/search-engine. SFW, by the way.

24 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
You know those times when you’re cruising on your Vespa, hitting the road with particular destination in mind? Perhaps you’re poodling up a mountain – perhaps not. It’s a bright, sunny late afternoon, some might even call it dusk. Light is thrown across the city scape below, and a slightly chilly wind is up. You think to yourself, “I could use some coffee right now”. Well you wouldn’t be able to get any, right? Wrong. So wrong.

Hipster-bashing was a thing on the internet for a while, except then hipsters started doing it to be ironic and the whole thing got sort of uncomfortable for everyone. Except this little gem’s popped up to make it okay again: a fake movie trailer for Charles Bronson Kills Hipsters. From a time when mustaches were sincere.

The World’s Oldest Champagne And Beer Still Taste Pretty Okay
22 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Some weeks ago, Finnish divers discovered several crates of two-centuries-old champagne and beer from a sunken ship in the Baltic Sea for nearly two centuries. They then drank some of it because, hey, why not. And, because sharing is nice, Finnish authorities sponsored a public opening and tasting of the champagne last Friday.

When French photographer Sacha Goldberger found out his 91-year-old grandmother was suffering from depression, he did the most rational thing French photographer Sacha Goldberger could think of: he dressed his grandmother up in superhero outfits around town and took photos of her until she stopped being depressed.
