World Record Attempt For The Largest Number Of People Dressed As Smurfs
28 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Am I alone in thinking that our world record attempts are getting a little obscure? Look, it’s great that you guys (from Mexico City) are all dressed up together and want recognition for that, I’m just not sure that dressing up as beloved 90’s cartoon characters is the way to go.

As far as I’m concerned this man should be their next brand ambassador just for this description of what Nutella tastes like. Not only did I read this and imagine it in full colour, but I have now been sitting here waiting for the day to end so I can go home and eat some. And Google naked pictures of Megan Fox. I’m actually motivated.

21 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 56 Comments
Who told Loyiso Gola that he is funny? I need answers. How did he come to have a comedy TV show, and why is the country putting up with this gigantic farce? People even follow him on Twitter. Why?!
