It’s taken Hilts quite a while to get a Ferrari – having been hellbent on Bentley for a number of years. See what I did there? With the word “hellBENT.” Get it? Anyway, the blonde sex-tape machine went for the Ferrari California and hit the road on Friday last week. Follow link to see the […]
Nearly 10 000 people dressed up in zombie gore and wandered through Mexico City this weekend, in a bid to set the new world record for zombie walks, which is a thing. Once verified by Guinness, the walk will blaze past the previous record of 4 093 zombies, set in New Jersey last year.
Please enjoy this video taken on a London tram, showing a charming young English woman ranting and raving about ethnic minorities sharing the train with her and how they are ruining Britain – all while her son sits on her lap. Having spent three years living in London, this video comes as no surprise. These […]
The first person to fly with a pair of jet-propelled wings, Yves “Jetman” Rossy, recently completed a flight over the Swiss Alps in formation with two jet planes. Wearing a pair of wings and four jet engines, Rossy jumped out of a helicopter and flew alongside the jets using his body movements to perform midair […]
This is one of the most powerful videos I’ve seen in a long time.
A couple of “Natty Light” enthusiasts approached the brewer, Natural Ice with the idea to make the mediocre frat-house beer slightly more remarkable by making it the first to be sent into space. Their spacecraft’ was a styrofoam cooler, a GPS tracking device, and an HD camera, launched into space with a weather balloon last week.
Facebook, the social network we all love to hate. Already in its seventh year of existence, the online community has managed to connect everyone with everyone, even if they barely know one-another. For exactly that reason, many people have gone about culling off some of these Facebook “friends”, and while it freed up their newsfeed, it left others scorned.
On this episode of Tech Vibe, Ryan O’Connor talks to Eran Eyal, the CEO of Springleap.com, about online community and retail. He also introduces the guitar for the tech savvy urbanite, the ION Discover USB Guitar, which teaches a guitar noob to play via online software tutorials.
I was a big fan of the Vodacom ad some time ago, which featured the African-dictator-type character, laughing as he abuses his power, repeatedly delivering the catchphrase “We’ve been having it!” The central idea of Nando’s festive season campaign follows that trend and revolves around a Robert Mugabe lookalike, as he reminisces about the good […]
Samsung has had a rather clever dig at the iPhone with its Galaxy S2 smartphone. Having recently surpassed Apple in total worldwide smartphone shipments, the Samsung brand clearly has its eyes firmly set on furthering its handle on the US smartphone market. Spicy.
Oh yes! We are loving the new Goldfish music video for their hit ‘Crunchy Joe’ featuring behind-the-scenes footage from Ibiza, Brazil and South Africa! Groupies a plenty and jam packed with partying, jets, cocktails and beaches. Needless to say, we like! Check it out:
The Brothers Streep were recently seen on Idols, where they poked a bit of fun at some of the show’s more controversial moments and characters. And before that they performed live for Anna Paquin on the Graham Norton show. This time they tackle the ANC’s steamrolling of the Protection of Information Bill in parliament this week. Check out “The Secrecy Bill” after the jump.
A few nights ago on the Bill O’Reilly Show on Fox News, anchor Megyn Kelly claimed that pepper spray was a “food product”, essentially. If an online petition has its way, she may literally be forced to eat her words.
I leave in a couple weeks for London, where I will be interviewing Daniel Craig on behalf of Ster-Kinekor for his new movie – a remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. These ‘junkets’ as they’re called, feature journalists from around the world who come in, one after the other, to interview the actors for […]
It seems we aren’t the only ones who had some action in parliament yesterday. South Korea’s ruling party has ratified a controversial free trade deal with the United States. But just before they did that an opposition MP set off and threw a teargas device at the speaker, briefly clearing the chamber.
I feel a little bad for Widen + Kennedy, Old Spice’s advertising agency; everything they’ve done since introducing Isaiah Mustafa as the Old Spice Guy has been subject to comparison, not always fairly. Which is a pity, because they’re killing it here with their new “Smell Better Than Yourself” campaign. Check out the video, after the jump.

This shortcut takes you from Hyde Park Corner to the Jolly Roger in Parkhurst. You probably usually go down Jan Smuts but, as if by magic, Seth reveals a new route that saves you a lot of time, a lot of energy, and a lot of bitterness.
Other than his recent scandal, and subsequent divorce, and a brief cameo in The Expendables, it’s been a while since former governor and once-upon-a-time Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger has made headlines. That’s all about to change, and he probably doesn’t even know about it.
On this week’s Tech Vibe, Ryan speaks to Prezence Digital’s CTO, Tim Bishop, about Africa’s burgeoning .mobi boom, and Prezence’s drive to develop micro and mobile payments. We also give you the latest news, and review a product designed to solve your escalating home video situation.
With the 2012 US Presidential Elections just under a year away, potential candidates are pushing hard to garner support in the hope of securing votes. None more so than Herman Cain, who shows in this video exactly how unprepared he is for the role.
This incredible video was shot recently during the Independence Day riots in Warsaw. Someone used a camera, attached to a remote-controlled helicopter, to get a birds-eye view of the action. The quality of the footage is so good that it is almost cinematic. It makes one wonder what our news bulletins could look like in a couple of years with the rapid advancement of technology.
For most kids, at 12-years old their biggest technological achievement is beating the boss at the end of a video game, or having more songs on their iPod than their peers. Thomas Suarez sees things a little differently. Instead of clocking games he creates them.
At 2am this morning the NYPD started violently clearing out Zuccoti Park, where the peaceful Occupy Wall Street protestors have been camped out. The cops are using pepper spray, they are using LRAD sound weapons, and they are actively preventing any official media from reporting on their violation of OWS members’ constitutional rights. Shit’s gotten real.
The Blue Route is just that, blue, and depressing. You probably think you’ve got the better of it by taking Rhodes Drive. The only problem is that you have to deal with that queue that’s longer than the line at Home Affairs. Seth shows you where to bang a right, to avoid the fifteen minute […]
For centuries, people have been looking up at the night sky, admiring beautiful constellations and pondering the meaning of things greater than themselves. As beautiful as the view is, this video shows what things look like from the other side, and it’s pretty amazing.
There is a good chance you will have come across, or heard about, a cat meme. Either in picture or video format, they can be rather amusing. Or not. This isn’t an actual cat meme, but rather a lewd take on the phenomenon of cats and the internet.
Nokia has released a concept video for their new HumanForm phone – which isn’t so much human-shaped as it is oblong. What’s interesting about it is that the casing is meant to be flexible, and the entire surface is meant to run off of touch recognition, which is fairly rad.
Robots have been the subject of countless science fiction tales and blockbuster movies, most often portrayed as malicious machines that have become independent of their creators and use their inherent advantages to rise to the top of the food chain. Until very recently, this type of scenario could only ever exist in fiction.
A Russian news bulletin recently aired a segment on strippers. They then cut back to the news anchor live in studio – only to reveal him masturbating to the footage! Obviously realising he is on air, he quickly composes himself and continues to read the news as if nothing is wrong. But keep an eye on his “guilty” hand and what he does with it.
