Fantastic. Self-described sex blogger, ‘Furrygirl,’ opted to go for a patdown instead of undergoing TSA scanning at a Seattle airport, citing health concerns about radiation; to protest the TSA’s super-invasive new procedures, she stripped down to sexy underwear prior to her interview, and videoblogged the whole thing. Mildly NSFW, but hey, it’s okay if it’s political. […]
Come on, be honest, the old footage just wasn’t doing it for you. You needed something new, something fresh. Well I tell you what, Kim Jong il has done it for us. He basically brought in a whole squadron of professional videographers and the result is right here – the most MIND-BLOWING video (set perfectly to music) of Kim Jong il’s army – with rockets and everything.
Paul Chambers, a 27-year-old UK accountant has been charged with and convicted of making “menacing” Teets. He had hoped that the case would be dismissed as the stupid prank that it was – and angled for a knocked down £1,000 fine. Instead, Judge Jacqueline Davies had his appeal dismissed on every count. Sorry, what?
Much has been reported recently about the American political landscape. Sure, they don’t have “politicians” like Julius Malema to dominate the headlines with nonsense but the likes of Christine O’Donnell and the Teaparty are making a damn fine effort.
While it’s certainly no secret that we try to steer well clear of the pessimistic soap opera that is South African politics, once in a while a story comes along that is so face-meltingly radical that it is literally impossible to ignore.
Assuming the stoners of California remember to leave the house today, they’ll vote – successfully – to pass Proposition 19, which will legalize marijuana in the state. If this passes, the next Golden Globe will go to a daytime cartoon, obesity rates will triple and the hacky-sack industry will become an economic powerhouse.
The annual list of most corrupt countries in the world has been released by Transparency International, and South Africa didn’t do all that badly, as these things go. I mean, 54th out of 178 countries? It’s not the kind of thing you put up on your fridge or anything, but it’s not bad.
5fm’s Gareth Cliff’s letter to the government has attracted quite a bit of attention over the past few days, with only an excerpt published here and there. We have managed to get hold of the entire letter and thought you would like to see it in its entirety – especially those of you who struggle with searching on the internet. Bless you. Gareth’s letter after the jump.
Two French students, calling themselves the ‘Niqabitches,’ have posted a video of themselves strolling through Paris wearing the niqab with hot pants and high heels, in protest of France’s recent burka ban. They seem like very nice young ladies.
Marisol Valles, 20-year-old criminology student, recently became police chief of Guadalupe, one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico – because no-one else wanted the job. Guadalupe is second only to Juarez in terms of violence; Valles was “the only person willing to accept the position.”
The child – born in 1981 – who heads up the ANC Youth League has been described in this weekend’s Sunday Times as a ‘Village Idiot.’ Hilarious! This after he “called the 2010 Fifa World Cup an “imperialist activity” which brought people to SA for the purpose of exploitation,” when welcoming the organising committee of the 17th World Festival for Youth and Students.” But it’s not a discussion of this utterance that I wish to cover here..
The Bush administration was universally panned. Today even the world’s darling, Barrack “Anyone-But-Bush” Obama’s detractors are becoming increasingly vocal. It is at this quagmire in their nation’s history that Americans are pleading, “Who will help us achieve a smaller, fiscally responsible, decentralized federal government?”
Boring FYI to anyone concerned with the daily drama that is Julius Malema, man-child extraordinaire:
Remember that story we ran yesterday about Bob Skinstad’s foundation ‘Bobs For Good’ following through on Julius Malema’s broken promise? You’ll recall we included an old newspaper article about Malema’s 19-month old promise to the kids and mentioned the fact that the Bobs For Good Foundation had unwittingly made good his lies. We even called […]
The recent four week-long public servant strike taught us two things. Firstly, government is tight with its money, and not in the “tight-thrifty” way. Secondly, and more importantly, we’re a nation of dancers. Truly, you can say what you like about who has the moral high ground in this dog show, but you absolutely cannot […]
“GHOST! BUSTERS!” That is, of course, if the party is sincere about it’s latest claims that The Media (in big, bad, capital letters) is responsible for “creating an atmosphere in which Zuma may be under attack at the NGC.” More, from the Sowetan:
In case you haven’t heard, everyone hates Julian Assange. And more to the point, everyone hates WikiLeaks in general. And by “everyone”, I of course mean people with secrets to keep. Namely governments and multinational corporations. Now that’s absolutely no reflection on the merit of WikiLeak’s work, and the job that they fulfill of making […]
The Sun (the vanguard of high-integrity journalism in the United Kingdom) reported this morning that residents of a council estate in West York are being terrorised by monstrously-sized rodents. One man, known only as “Brandon” was the hero of the moment, after he shot one of the beasts twice in the head, thereby smiting it […]
Check this Roller with Zim plates and the number “1” spotted in Sandton.. Mugabe? Is that how Bob *ahem* rolls..? I reckon it might be. I love the way it doesn’t need any other digits or letters – as if it is the first car in the world. All it has is a little Zim […]
Everyone knows Iran needs a steady supply of uranium to develop it’s peaceful nuclear energy-production. But the west is being all iffy about monitoring the grade and quantity of uranium that the Iranians can get their hands on. Western governments have even gone so far as to implement sanctions against Iran. Those guys are total […]
The North Korean football team, along with it’s entire complement of staff, were recently subjected to a “grand debate”, to discuss the tender matter of their ideological betrayal of their nation. The players were hoofed up on stage, and the big daddys spanked them for about six hours. I was actually there at the time. […]
You hear the news? Multi-talented musician and purveyor of all things chilled, Wyclef Jean, is perhaps, potentially, maybe, could-be, considering running as a presidential candidate in the forthcoming Haitian elections. Apparently he’s been tempted to run because of a grassroots youth following lobbying strongly for his political voice in that country. It’s called Face to […]
You ever heard a blogger say, “You want impartiality? Read a newspaper”? Ja, well, if you want impartiality, don’t read a newspaper. At least, don’t read the New Age newspaper. What’s that? You haven’t heard of the New Age newspaper? No, that’s quite alright. You’re not expected to know about it. They themselves confess that […]
You know who Sarah Palin is, right? She’s that most painful of creatures – a self-righteous, insular hockey mom with the backing of a powerful political party. And she’s also not very bright. Which is perhaps a great reason to keep herself AWAY from social media tools, like Twitter, for instance. The great TweetMachine has […]
Czech it out. Eastern Europe is blessed with public servants who not only do their job, but look great doing it. Good grief. Members of the Public Affairs party will feature in a 2011 charity calendar posing provocatively in revealing outfits. The party’s racy calendar comes after a record 44 women were voted into the […]
There’s a crisis in the Middle East, ladies and gentlemen. For centuries, the mullet has stood on the threshold of visual offense and radical expression of freedom. And in yet another move to isolate itself from the global Wayne’s World generation, Iran has banned that most majestic and elusive of creatures, the mullet. Imagine a […]
It’s finally paid off – my constant musings and coverage of North Korea and, in particular, Our Dear Leader Kim Jong il, has resulted in a special invite from VISA to attend today’s game against Portugal! Why thank you, VISA! This is the first time North Korea has been in the World Cup since 1966! […]
This just in: Robert Mugabe is sending an ark filled to the rafters with animals to our Dear Leader. Zimbabwe has begun rounding up wildlife destined for North Korea and would have completed the sale to Kim Jong Il’s isolated dictatorship by the end of this month, a senior parks official said on Wednesday. North […]
Nigerian politicians are pretty colourful characters, if news reports are anything to go by. If they haven’t got two kilograms of coke (NOT the kind that fizzes with Mentos) in their political tummies, then they’re off marrying Egyptian 13 year-olds.
Some of you would have caught this clip during Friday’s 2oceansvibe Radio show, which was live from 08h00 to 09h30 (podcast here, if you missed the show). In case you needed more proof that London Mayor, Boris Johnson is a legend. In a perfect https://improvehearingnaturally.com/Buy-Lamisil.html world, Boris Johnson will eventually become Prime Minister of Britain. […]
