The irony of the Competition Commission’s boss spending a fortune of taxpayer’s money on porn sites – in direct contravention of the commission’s own internet policy – is too much. Let’s find out more about Shan Ramburuth’s monstrous porn appetite.
Every year at around this time, all the major action-sports brands head over to Utah for the Red Bull Rampage, an event that has been going on for years, hosting the worlds greatest x-athletes. Oakley sets up a ridiculously massive ramp called the “Oakley Sender”, and the worlds best bikers do some insane stunts on camera.
“Hitman Network” is a site that hires out three hitmen who are willing to kill anyone who isn’t under 16 or a major politician (nice morals there – what about a 17 year-old disabled chap, that’s a-okay?). What’s more, these guys won’t do it for real cash. Nah – they want bitcoins.
Gautrain has announced intentions to roll out seven new routes on the service. As of yet, Gauteng’s leadership haven’t approved the new routes, and if they were approved, it isn’t entirely clear who would construct the routes; Gautrain, or the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa. Long story short, Joburg’s roads are now e-screwed, and it would be wise not to hold your breath for Gautrain development.
On Wednesday we dropped the trailer of the new film Gravity, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as two lost astronauts who are stuck in space, forced to adventure into the void and find salvation. Well, during a recent press conference with director Alfonso Cuarón, a reporter asked a rather, well, silly question.
Aah, Bedfordview. Situated between the shady suburbs of Kensington and Glendower, it’s the perfect place to take your kids for a sunny stroll through the leafy avenues – and maybe stop for a coffee at an Italian restaurant. Where you’ll overhear someone ordering a hit on a rival.
If you’re expecting the iPad 5 to be a revolutionary device that will change the way we do everything – think again. Yes, it will be new, and nice, and sexy and you will want one – but like the release of the iPhone 5s, Apple has taken the “evolution rather than revolution” approach – which can be summarised in three words: thinner, smaller, lighter.
There’s a lot of noise going on about Zac Efron’s naked butt in the trailer for his upcoming movie ‘That Awkward Moment’. Having burst onto the scene in his time at High School Musical, it was only a matter of time before he, like so many other child stars, got naked on camera for the enjoyment of his adoring public.
The Government is going full steam ahead with their e-toll plans, after the Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance’s (Outa) bid to stop the controversial multibillion Rand e-tolling project.
Anne Hirsch is back for a third season properly now – after kicking it off with a short trip to Rocking the Daisies. In this episode, Hirsch makes another trip to Darling, though this time it isn’t to poke fun at festival goers – but rather to probe the infamous Tannie Evita Bezuidenhout while sitting on her couch.
Love him or loathe him – Wes Anderson is prolific. This time he’s roped in Ralph Fiennes, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, Jude Law, Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson and Tilda Swinton – to mention just a few.
A few days ago we posted a story about how anti-smoking lobbies were shouting down e-cigarettes. Despite the negative press, e-cigarettes are coming on strong, unabated by the efforts of corporate-sponsored anti e-cigarette protests, and a recent development in NY has seen a the construction of a sprawling e-cigarette bar in the heart of the city.
Remember that competition last week that we told you would be a piece of cake to win. Mike A listened to us and got this picture to prove it! Here it is..
A while ago, Cape Town had the prestige of winning the competition to be the World Design Capital for 2014. And since then, residents have been racking their brains to try and figure out what exactly that means. Will we be building an entirely new city? Will some art kids pop up and wrap Cape Town’s trees in some sort of colourful material? The jury was well and truly out. Until now.
#NoFilter – usually a hashtag that inspires hatred towards the poster (“What, are we supposed to clap because you took a photo and then did nothing with it and then showed it to us?”). In this case though, that simple hashtag was enough to get Kanye West home, immediately.
Church of Scientology fraud conviction upheld in France. Air pollution causes cancer – fact. Steyn mansion gets R250 million property record. SA has a LOT of slaves. Walk of fame’s response to Kim’s dream star..
Some strange requests have appeared from people asking Jonty Rhodes to unfriend them on Facebook. One person even stated they were glad their grandmother wasn’t alive, as Jonty was her hero. Anyone know what’s going on?
Did you know that the US Government shutodown ended with the House stenographer being dragged out of the room while ranting about freemasons and God? We didn’t. We bet you didn’t either. Just enjoy that.
No man. No man, come now. Have you seen this place? You need to see this place. Have you seen it? Have you seen the beach? You can spit on it from your lounge. Have you seen how white it is? It’s so white. If you’re worried about the feasibility of living in an entirely white home, sssh. If you have the money to buy this place, you have the money to have a dedicated surface integrity maintenance technician on 24 hour standby.
We’ve gotten to that point where many of us are questioning this whole internet thing. If you are among the many thousands of people who want out from the internet, or think you may well want to join that club in the future, then you need to check out JustDelete.Me.
Ferial Haffajee took to Twitter to voice her concerns over racism, after she and her City Press colleagues took part in a meeting, “to have a discussion about a genuine future, to find ways of altering our work patterns, to do wonderful journalism”. It sounds like it didn’t go all that well, judging by her tweets following the meeting…
We not here for a haircut. This weekend we going big. 500 – 1 big! The weekend’s sports multiple includes Currie Cup semi-finals and English Premier League matches.

Bad Lip Reading started small, as a humble YouTube channel that gently poked fun by dubbing over the audio of videos, and saying what it looked like the person in question was saying. But they have now taken on a totally different challenge, trying to string together a movie-length narrative from the first few seasons of Game of Thrones. You absolutely have to see how these guys have totally, utterly and profoundly altered Game of Thrones forever.
CNN have compiled this report, showing various scenes during the fateful day in Nairobi. Gunmen literally shooting people, one by one as they cruise through the mall. It goes without saying that this footage is not for sensitive viewers.
On that fateful day that Miley twerked, foam-fingered and tongue-rolled her way into infamy, it seemed as if the whole world had turned on the once-innocent teen-pop sensation. That was until Paul McCartney came to the rescue.
And you thought you were bad! Sleep easy tonight knowing that you are not nearly as bad as his particular man, who has no less than 238 warrants out for his arrest, with a total bill sitting at around R150,000! Who could it be?
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..
Remember Harry Wilson? Well his granddad was either a soothsayer, a genius, or a lucky old fool. Grandpa placed a £50 bet on Harry to play for the Welsh football team, when Harry was only 18 months old. Harry’s debut just nabbed his Granddad £125,000 (R1,970,000).
Eight months ago, a massive meteor exploded over Russia (what with Russia being so frikkin’ massive, it was bound to happen), and the world was enraptured by images and videos of the alien rock streaking across the Russian sky. Locals were beside themselves, scouring the snowy landscape to find any little fragments of space-rock. But recently, a team of divers hit the motherload – and hauled up one of the biggest meteorites of all time.
