Starring Bale, Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner and Jennifer Lawrence, “American Hustle” is out in American theaters on December 13, and we’re of the opinion that this has the potential to be the best broad-collar-suit film since Goodfellas, or at least Boogie Nights. Also, Christian Bale: that boep, my man. That boep.
Yes, okay last weekend we slipped up a little. We admit. Time for redemption then. It is pretty simple this weekend – 3 Currie Cup games and 2 Momentum One-Day Cup matches. Easy. Well… On the rugby side of things there are some very interesting match ups. Given that this is the last weekend before […]
The Department of Basic Educati0n yesterday issued a circular (you can read the circular here) that prohibits the use of open source software in schools that offer the subjects “Computer Applications Technology” (CAT) and “Information Technology” (IT). The move has massive implications for the quality of education in those subjects in South Africa, and essentially stifles the development of technology professionals in this country.
Going outside to buy a pair of jeans is a lot like going to Home Affiars, in the sense that you have a fairly high chance of failing miserably in your mission. And jeans, like the kind of documents that you get at Home Affairs, are a crucial addition to one’s modern life. If you don’t own a pair of jeans, you’re probably the kind of person with obvious and crucial items missing from your life at every turn – tooth brushes, sunscreen, a good pair of slops, shades, an oven. We know you don’t own at least one of these things.
Look, it’s been a while since we came across a place this special. Elevators, four floors and five levels, a fully integrated iTunes home entertainment system, a fully-besmegged kitchen – and then you forget about all of that, and smash an offer down right there and then. Because you just turned your head to look at the patio, and suddenly it occurs to you that whoever owns this house, owns the horizon.

Kanye West made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show yesterday to clear the air following a very public Twitter spat between the pair some time in the last 10 days.

Hot Pockets’ latest ad, titled “You Got What I Eat,” is a four-minute parody of Biz Markie’s “Just a Friend,” starring Kate Upton, Snoop Dogg and Bow Wow.And it’s pretty much one of the weirdest things on the internet right now.

Now, I’ve heard that Grolsch came in cans, but I’ve always been a bottle-trumps-all kind of man, especially when it came to Grolsch’s iconic swing-top, which has been pleasuring people with taste buds since 1897. Until I saw – nay, felt – this little puppy. It’s tall and substantial at 500ml, but delightfully soft for a beverage can. From a pure design point of view it’s a thing of beauty.

Well, this is probably the most depressing thing you’ll read today. The social chair of Phi Kappa Tau at Georgia Tech sent an email to his chapter, with the subject line “Luring your Rapebait”. The email is a how-to for coercing sex out of women at frat parties, and includes the stern command, “NO RAPING”. Why are we not surprised that these guys need this instruction? Here’s the email
