Something that I observed at a wedding a couple of weeks back really struck me as being rather irritating, that being what i call the “MC show”. This is when the MC of a wedding takes it upon himself to essentially make the entire reception largely about, well, himself.

Slowly, surely and inevitably, our social media spaces are becoming commercialised. We all knew it was coming – it’s just a matter of coming to terms with it, getting used to the new layout and trying to make the best of it. This time, it’s Instagram’s turn to start earning some cold hard cash.
iPhone camera lenses are not a new thing by any stretch of the imagination. They emerged a few years ago, to accommodate and enhance the steadily improving camera technology that was being developed. They started out small, with individual lenses being sold for about R200, and a set of all sorts of different lenses being sold for around R500. It was more of a start-up company kind of thing to do – but now the big dogs have latched onto to the market, and Sony is one of those who are looking to make a big impact.
After Charlie Hunnam backed out of the role to play kinky billionaire Christian Grey in the screen production of “Fifty Shades of Grey” two weeks ago, producers launched a search for a replacement. Fortunately for the producers, and for all the middle-aged women who so love the books, they managed to find a super sub in time for production to start in November.
Artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada unveiled his 11-acre land art portrait of a girl, who is apparently making a wish. Located in the Titanic Quarter of Belfast, Ireland, the artwork, titled “WISH,” took one month to construct and required 30,000 wooden pegs, 2,000 tons of soil, and 2,000 tons of sand.
Many of us know Russell Brand as an outrageous comedian famed for his absurd brand of humour. Not many anticipated his rise from the stand-up comedy stage, through the world of film and finally into political writing. He’s become a bit of an enigma in his own right, blending ridiculously silly humour with an earnest sense of political awareness – which comes to the fore in an interview with one of Britains toughest journos.
We know there are people out there who go a little bonkers for any news of the royal family. In order to cater to those people, we have for you a selection of photos from Prince George’s christening. For people who don’t necessarily care about the world’s most privileged baby, we invite you to browse through these images and critique what everybody is wearing. It’s quite fun.

Brazil is challenging hetero-normative stereotypes and pushing boundaries with their daring new “Miss T” contest. The competition invites transgender and transvestite contestants from all over Brazil to compete in a beauty contest. The prize? The right to a sex change operation in a Bangkok hospital.
James Stewart rose to local fame as the writer and lead singer for pop rock sensation The Usual – with chart topping songs like ‘The Shape That I’m In’ and multi-SAMA award winning ‘Like a Vision’ released in the early noughties. With the success of his band, it was no wonder James was approached by brands keen to use his music in television ads. Which is when he got screwed.
One could spend hours scrolling through the listings of Gumtree. Logging in to one of South Africa’s most popular classifieds has become a little bit like window shopping, with a few key differences. For one, you don’t have to actually get up and go anywhere – so no need for pants.
Twitter sets IPO price range. White Widow’s SA child. YouTube pay channels launching. Indian girl raped, burned. Victoria’s Secret dropping an angel. Bruce Jenner got snubbed. Spanking will kill your child. More to come from Snowden.
Last weekend we went big. Maybe silly big but we were having some fun and took a chance on some long odds. Needless to say the bet didn’t come off and so this week are making up for it with a far more measured multiple which is offering 15 – 1 odds and includes matches from the following:
Welcome to the leafy Durban district of Kloof. Kloof happens to be perched on the edge of Kloof Gorge, which translates to “Gorge Gorge”. That’s because Durban is populated by English people who don’t really understand the Afrikaans names for things, leading to these kinds of cock-ups. What they have nailed, however, is stunning architecture.
Remember Triumph the insult comic dog? He’s that puppet that appeared in Eminem’s ‘Ass Like That’ video. Basically, he’s hilarious. In this clip, he visits one of those all-time favourite American things – a beer festival. He takes a few jabs at craft beer, alcoholics, and men with moustaches. It’s a classic.
Here’s the latest trailer for the musical, ‘As Jy Sing’. Heads up: Afrikaans musicals are still the highest-grossing box office movies in South Africa. Would you just look at that. Just have a long, hard (pronounced “hahrt”) think about that. [Source : JyTube] [Dankie, Lize!]
If you recall, we did a story on the biggest mountain-bike backflip in history just a few days ago. That was pretty special, but we can’t recall seeing anything quite as visceral as this before.
We said we would give away a bottle of Jack Daniel’s for every bar you tell us that stocks the premium ‘Gentleman Jack.’ You’re coming along very nicely! Here are the latest additions..
A pleasant afternoon of provincial cricket in Australia was brought to life when one of the player’s girlfriends got involved in the action, so to speak. Not having much to talk about in terms of cricket, the commentators turned to one of the players ladyfriends, Yvonne. “Hey Yvonne give us a wave!” At this point, Yvonne made naughty hand gestures.
What you have here is your basic toddler combined with low lighting and a badass dad-made LED suit, equating to the best Halloween costume of 2013. Please enjoy. No but come now man. Seriously.

Cerebra, a brand-focused South African strategic communication agency, recently did a massive survey of how the best African companies utilise social media. Ever since the advent of sites like Facebook and Twitter, everyone wanted to know how these sites could work in business, and whether more followers really does mean more money.
Remember that story we posted about the bikers who chased down a Ranger Rover and beat up the driver? We have some new footage that reveals just what happened when the driver got a stuck in traffic. There’s some hectic footage of the guy being dragged out of the car and beaten up, but what’s really interesting is the emerging story of an undercover cop who, in a bid to remain undercover, got involved in the carnage himself.
This just in. Rumours are abound that YouTube is planning on starting an on-demand music service that works kinda like Spotify – but with music videos. In a bid to keep up with the times, they’re pitching the new service to mobile users specifically. What’s more, they’re going to offer the service in two forms – a free service, and a premium one.
Groupies know there’s nothing better at the end of a long day than collapsing on the couch and watching your favourite TV show, tear jerking drama or people’s home videos of being hit in the crotch. Do it the right way with a Samsung 32” HD SMART LED TV. With three HDMI ports, WIFI capabilities […]
You may, like us, have been rattled by the news that the NSA is pying on pretty much everyone in the world.

Check out how.
Apple recently announced the arrival of the newer, slimmer iPad Air. At 40% thinner than it’s older brother and weighing in at only 500 grams (more or less), it is the latest in a growing line of products that will make you resent your current iPad. Let’s take a close look at this badboy.
For some reason, we think it’s a good idea to give our pets ‘edible treats’ that they wouldn’t naturally find in the wild. That’s not to say that we should treat our pets like wild animals, but, you know, don’t give your dog a milkshake. In a new pet-treat controversy that has sparked outrage across the States, hundreds of pets have been dying after eating a ‘beef jerky treat’ that was made in china.
A recent FBI listing showed South Africa to be the sixth most active country for cyber-crime, with an online criminal industry that is costing the government a billion rand a year to contain.
Today, we celebrate the 15th anniversary of that pop-culture moment by taking a look back at the video that started it all. Here, for your enjoyment, is the school-uniform outfit that made school uniforms sexy again.
