M-Net Congratulates Award Winning Show By Cancelling It
24 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 9 Comments
After winning the award for best show in its category, you’d think M-Net would buy All Access a swish advertising billboard next to the N1, urging us all to watch this “award winning show!”. Instead rumours are surfacing that All Access and its demographically-flawed presenters might be cut.

Toll Roads Inevitable For Cape Town
23 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
As a born and bred Joburger, this headline tastes like sweet justice. Looks like Jozi isn’t the only city that’s going to be klapped by the new tolling system. Capetonians are in for it too. See, that’s karma for you, you can’t have that mountain and stunning city without some repercussions.

23 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
This was one of the remarks made by Trevor when he addressed a press briefing relating to the acid mine water drainage situation around jozi. We should take cognisance as it comes from the man who spent many years in charge of our country’s finances and who is also arguably the most trustworthy politician around. If that exists.

17 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Poor , Ezperanza Spalding- I don’t know who she is either, but apparently she’s won “Best New Artist” at Sunday’s Grammys, despite Justin Bieber being the overwhelming favourite. This has sparked outrage amongst Bieber’s fans or “Beliebers” as they are known, and they have called for her head.

15 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
If you’ve been charged with rape, it’s best that you don’t post on your Facebook profile that you need a hitman, ASAP, to help sort out the victim of your alleged crime. It’s especially a bad idea if that person can see your Facebook page.

With statistics indicating that the average person only stands a ten percent chance of actually surviving an attack by a leopard, Pieta Ncube can consider himself a very lucky man.

Nothing much needs to be said in addition to the title of this post. Before I first saw this video on the Telegraph’s trusty website, I too had seen the link. I did my best to ignore it, but the urge to push my right index finger down proved too strong. What does that say about me? [VIDEO]

10 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Look, no company is without it’s awkward infant stages, but TopTV is starting to abuse that privilege. When they launched last year no one answered the phone at their call centre. Then all their customers received an unscrambled TV signal – even the ones who didn’t pay their subscriptions. The latest balls-up involves people paying for TopTV who aren’t even subscribed to the broadcaster.

Jim W. Hawkins is just one of those guys who is either an eccentric with a love for school-girl cheerleading or a paedophile or a bit of both. But let’s give Jim the benefit of the doubt and say his is just one in a vast sea of crappy public-access TV shows.

FaceDaddy Claims It Hard
02 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Yes, you read that correctly. The founder of Facebook’s founder is letting everyone who’ll listen know that he is Mark Zuckerberg’s dad. I didn’t believe it at first either, as I’m sure money or status isn’t a big issue in the Zuckerberg household. Anyway, it’s more the manner in which the claiming happened that is important here guys. This is rather awesome.

31 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Alright, yes, I know, I’m the liberal media and I’m just getting all uppity at Fox over it’s insane coverage of this silly little ‘Egypt’ thing.
