LEGO FUSSBALL – IT’S TOO AWESOME
25 Jun 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Remember the time when you were talking to that perfectly normal friend-of-a-friend at a braai? He was into futures trading or whatever, and didn’t have any abnormal ticks of any kind. A totally enjoyable human being. And then, WHAM, he tells you he’s crazy about Lego. Thirty years old, and still clinging to Lego. You […]

YOUTUBE, MEET VUVUZELA
25 Jun 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The number of small but pleasing World Cup software add-ons is growing by the day. Remember the little Google Maps vuvuzela man? Cool stuff like that. Of course they’re trivial gimmicks, but they’re official tips of the cap to our lovely country, so it gives me great pleasure to present YouTube‘s World Cup gimmick offering.

JUST A SPOON FULL OF SUGAR MAKES THE MUTI GO DOWN
21 Jun 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Bafana Bafana needs a lot of help to get through to the next round of the World Cup. Some might even say they need a miracle. Others, however, might say that that all they need is a little muti (traditional medicine). Our favourite news service, the foul-mouthed News24, came up with this gem of a […]

NANDO’S OFFERING FREE “COKE” TO THE SOUTH AMERICANS
17 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Just when you though they couldn’t push it any further – Nando’s take ambiguity to the next level, offering “free coke” to the South Americans. Given South America’s propensity for making and selling cocaine to the rest of the world, one might think Nando’s are giving away the odd gram with their chicken burgers. Apparently […]

PARLOTONES ABANDON SOUTH AFRICA AND SUPPORT GERMANY
15 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 108 Comments
Product endorsements and commercialisation aside; aligning yourself with another nation and singing for their victory in a tournament which is being held on your home soil (a tournament in which your own country is competing), may well be the final straw for Parlotones fans. “Aligning” might be a bit tame. By the looks of their […]

DON’T MESS WITH FIFA’S 1000 YEAR REICH
15 Jun 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
A great deal of fuss has been made by FIFA regarding the sanctity of its brand, and the brands of its official partners in the run up to the World Cup. A great deal of counter-fuss has been made by the brands who were left outside of the World Cup money machine fraternity. So it’s […]

URBAN FOOTBALL PRECISION – WORLD CUP TRAINING IN THE CITY
15 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I remember when Herschelle Gibbs used to amuse us at school, by kicking a rugby ball high up into the air, and then positioning himself for where the ball will go after it hits the ground – usually straight into his hands. He also once drop-kicked a ball over the Piley Reese poles, from the […]

MY KIND OF CYCLIST
14 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
People think I’m against ALL cyclists. Not true. It’s just the dicks I don’t enjoy. The guys who wear their helmets whilst dining at the table next to me. The 60 year old men who look like the aliens from District 9 (hence their nickname “prawns”) clearly exposing their balls under a thin layer of […]
