22 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
We wrote earlier in the day that The New Age had engaged in a small but embarrassing bout of mistaken identity, having posted a picture of world renowned fashion mogul, Karl Otto Lagerfeld, above a story regarding the appointment of one Karl Otto, esq., to one or other lofty position at the Maritime Authority of South Africa. Enjoy the update after the jump.

22 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I wrote yesterday about possibly the worst song ever written, “Friday”, which has shot a 13-year-old girl called Rebecca Black to instant stardom/ infamy in less than a week. Here are the best covers of the song, including one by “Bob Dylan”.

Prepare to witness hilarity the likes of which you have not seen since “Antoine Dodson” or “Double Rainbow”. If you thought “Bieber Fever” was bad prepare yourself for the “Black Plague”. Make ready for Rebecca Black and “Friday”.

16 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
At long last, Microsoft has taken their iPod-but-worse MP3 player, the Zune, out behind the shed with a shotgun. Microsoft announced that they would stop making new versions of the music/video player due to “tepid demand.”

Zach Galifianakis’s Monologue On SNL [VIDEO]
14 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
You’re all going to want to take a good look at this. Oh, Zach Galifianakis. Why can’t all chubby-hairy people be like you? Granted, the monologue is mostly spent doing regular awesome Galifianakis stand-up, but it’s very, very good stand-up. Your morning will be better for it. Go on.

Benassi Remakes The ‘Satisfaction’ Video For Equal Pay
08 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
In support of Equal Payday, which seeks to address the disparity between male and female salaries around the world, Benny Benassi has remade the sexy-construction-outfits video for ‘Satisfaction’ to mark International Women’s Day. It’s a little bit amazing. Satisfaction came out in 2002, by the way.

Take A Look At Old Spice: Behind The Scent [VIDEO]
04 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I love Isaiah Mustafa. You love Isaiah Mustafa. But the honeymoon is over, Isaiah, and it’s only right that you show us a little more than your honey-glazed eyes or perfect teeth. Take us behind the curtain; show us how you make the magic happen, commercially.

Charlie Sheen’s New Fragrance, “Winning” For Men
04 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I’m not even going to bother with an introduction to what the one-man wrecking ball Charlie Sheen has been up to recently, because the chances are that if you are alive you already know. But as it is Friday I thought I would share this piece of comedy gold with you.

Taiwanese Animation Summarizes Charlie Sheen’s Crazy For You [VIDEO]
01 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So hey, if you aren’t up-to-date on the adventures of Charlie Sheen, warlock, this video summarizes it pretty well. There really isn’t that much exaggeration coming from the animators; they’re just displaying Sheen’s claims to possessing “fire breathing fists,” and F-18 – like qualities. Notice the Snow-man.

Horse Bicycle Thing Shortlisted For Seoul Cycle Design Competition 2010
25 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s Friday, and you need to look at this. Korean designer Eungi Kim assembled a horse-shaped bike frame for the Seoul Cycle Design Competiton and I can’t tell if I hate it or not. It’s horse-shaped, so I approve inherently, but it’s just one rung below the penny farthing on the hipster scale.

Ricky Gervais Offers Franco And Hathaway Free Oscar Monologues
25 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
You guys remember all that hoo-ha over Gervais’ Golden Globes bit? It was pretty great. In all likelihood, that’s why the Oscars are being hosted by similarly scathing comedians, Anne Hathaway and James Franco. Sweetheart that he is, Gervais has offered them some free material, “in case they have a few minutes to fill.”

No Picture You’ve Seen Today Is As Awesome As This One
09 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
You’ve seen crowd surfing, now check out crowd rolling. There isn’t much more to say about this picture. It was taken at a music festival and I personally think it symbolises the term “Rock ‘n Roll”.

Male Model Video Will Change Your Life
09 Feb 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
I don’t know if they are taking the piss or not in this video. I got sent it by 2oceansviber Emily B and she got it from the Jack & Jil Blog (overseas equivalent of PopYaCollar). So anyway the video – it’s basically a bunch of male models giving it a full rev. You know […]

Lady Stops Jewelry Heist With Handbag [VIDEO]
08 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
An attempted smash-and-grab at a Northampton jeweler was prevented when a red coated woman started walloping the six armed gang members with her handbag. The would-be-thieves attempted to escape on their scooters, but fell over. And got hit with a handbag again. I’ve seen this movie before.

Old Spice – Scent Vacation [VIDEO]
07 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
There’s a new Old Spice ad. There were some details about it being dedicated to Chris Gatewood, winner of the Old Spice ‘Superfan’ contest, but you don’t really care about that, surely – you just want to see Isaiah Mustafa make you want to buy things that smell delicious, don’t you?

The Random Game vibe seems to be gaining a little but of traction, so it is with great happiness that I bring you this week’s installment of Guess The Location.

So That Guy Didn’t Get A Million Dollars By Asking For It After All
04 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
We’ve been deceived! By somebody on the internet! My god, but I feel so used. It turns out that Craig Rowin, that guy who put up three separate videos asking millionaires for money and then apparently getting it was totally lying to us. It was all a big ol’ ‘look at me I’m a comedian’ hoax.

31 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
China’s version of the SABC, the CCTV, is stoking our collective mirth once more with another particularly embarrassing news report. China’s largest news network, and only officially endorsed television news outlet, the CCTV, has repurposed scenes from Top Gun as reportage in a 23 November 2010 evening news bulletin.

When The Xbox Kinect Goes Wrong [VIDEO]
28 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So some of you may have tried out the Kinect for the Xbox 360. It’s pretty damn awesome, if you don’t mind flailing around like a lunatic in front of the TV. But sometimes the Kinect can go horribly wrong, especially when your kids get in the way…

The Naked Guy At 40 Stella Road, Plumstead [Mildly NSFW]
28 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
Well, ladies and gentlemen. Here we have demonstrable proof that Google Street View is a technology that a) makes our lives better, and b) provides canny insight into the daily habits of the human being. In this instance, it is one particularly special character from 40 Stella Road (corner of Dick Burton), Plumstead.

Can I be the first to say awwwww yeah? Would that be okay with you guys? I mean, I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes or anything, but Isaiah Mustafa and his striking brown eyes are back to peddle Old Spice at me, and it just feels right. Okay? Here I go. Awwwww yeah.

Brilliant Belgian Call Center Prank [VIDEO]
24 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Some frustrated Belgians put together an elaborate, televised prank to get back at unpopular phone company Mobistar by blocking off their office’s parking lot with a steel container that had a fake customer service number printed on it, and putting callers through the nine rings of customer service hell. Also the pranksters were inside the steel container.

1950’s Housewives Tripping On Acid: What Youtube Was Invented For
19 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Some fantastic footage has recently come to light, showing a 1956 housewife on her first acid trip as part of a drug trial. We all know how stupid people sound when trying to describe their trips – and throw in some 50’s black and white sensibility? Hilarious. She can see all of the molecules, apparently.

Badvertising: Insanely Inappropriate MLK Day Sale.
18 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So tomorrow’s Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday! Which is kind of a holiday now. And stores like to celebrate that kind of thing with sales and stuff, because that’s what the King was all about, right? Right. Which is why it is totally sensible for Thalia Surf Shop in Laguna to take 20% off all of it’s black products.

Our Dear Leader’s Sister Invented The Hamburger
17 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So! Pretend we’re having that bit of dialogue from Pulp Fiction where we talk about Burger King burgers being called ‘royale’ in France, except we’re talking about North Korea, and they call them “minced meat and bread,” to avoid referring to the uniquely American hamburger. Also, this is a new thing.

We just had MC Hammer and Jordy Smith in the studio and I’ve got hot seats for the U2 concert in February. But let me tell you now, the fact that Jim Jefferies is coming to town, may well top all of those. That’s right folks. And if you aren’t aware of the most foul-mouthed, […]

Is YOUR Fridge An iPhone-Controlled Beer Cannon? This Guy’s Is.
17 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well, I guess Ryan Rusnak wins at weekends. Nice try, everybody. This dude set up his fridge to fire a variety of beers at him from across the room whenever he keys in the command on his iPhone. I mean sure, he’s choosing to have Bud Light thrown at him, but cultural differences. Focus on the potential here.
