The Cruzin Cooler And Some Guy Banned From Driving It
18 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This thing needs no introduction but this poor Aussie chap at least deserves some publicity. So when Chris Petrie bought his motorised beer cooler online, for a mere R4 700, he probably didn’t expect to get busted driving it drunk only minutes after he’d assembled it. He also had his licence suspended for 10 months. Who cares.

Annoy The World With The Awesome RC Air Swimmers
16 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
How unfair is this shit. When I was a kid, if you wanted something to fly you had to chuck it off a three-storie building, or tie it to a string and trail it out the back of your mom’s car, Napolean Dynamite style. These remote controlled badboys are super realistic,with actual moving fins to propel them through the air. And you get to choose between evil shark or cute clown-fish.

Sometimes talent is just so gobsmackingly obvious that you cannot prevent the inevitable from happening.

News Reader FAIL – Drops F-Bomb Live On TV [VIDEO]
10 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
All this newsreader had to say was, “more teens are having luck finding summer jobs”. Instead she managed to replace “luck” with another word. This one starts with a “F” and rhymes with “luck”, as well as “buck” and “duck”. Trying to keep her composure whilst realising her EPIC FAIL, however, is even more priceless. If you are at work, keep the volume down.

Finally, the average layperson will be able to write and solve invisible ink messages. And not with those funny highlighters that did the rounds in the 90’s either.

14 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Marketing can be a really beautiful thing. It’s also a touch difficult to remain original within the fast paced environment of radvertising these days. So, when someone gets it right, like launching a “jou ma se burger” for instance, one just has to give it the old customary head-nod and one-corner-of-the-mouth-curling smile it so rightly deserves.
