How whack is crack really? Disgraced Toronto Mayor Rob Rod freely admits to smoking crack cocaine ‘in one of my drunken stupors’ (he also regularly binge drinks – fun guy). Thanks to the mayor, everyone’s talking about crack again. This video shows you exactly what happens to your brain on crack, and it’s definitely not fun.

As you may have noticed we have adopted the knit one purl one approach with our Betflash editorials. This means that one week will give you our predictions and the next week we will simply provide you with a look at the sporting action coming up over the weekend, allowing you to make your own predictions.

We can all agree that Cape Town is the best place to live. Except for one big problem: parking. Whether you’re in Woodstock, Green Point, the CBD or on the other side of the Boerewors Curtain, parking never comes easy in our beautiful city. That’s why we need the Streetline app, Parker.
Since Volvo released a frankly remarkable piece of radvertising featuring Jean Claude Van Damme splitting between two moving trucks, a lot of spoofs have surfaced. Even Channing Tatum published a spoof. Sadly for Channing, he isn’t nearly as funny or original as Derek Watts and the Sunday Blues.

Those of you who are at work or have children around, please be wary as this post contains some very dirty and pornographic material. It’s Ferrari’s 458 Italia ‘Niki Lauda Edition”.
Christmas is bearing down upon you. Heck, it’s bearing down on all of us. Specifically, the prospect of enduring the annual Christmas road trip is particularly daunting. Lucky for us, these apps will make the prospect of boiled eggs and toasted sarmies in tin foil slightly less awful.
Ah, how we’ve missed George Bushes TV appearances. They always make for brilliant viewing, regardless of the context. This time, he’s making a TV comeback on the Jay Leno show, and shows Jay a cute picture that he had painted of the talk show host.

The Daily Beast have put together a list of what they’re saying are the 11 best Monty Python moments of all time. But with so much brilliant material to choose from, which scenes stick out?
