Hustler publisher, and all round bad-ass Larry Flynt posted a full page advert in the Washington Post and USA Today over the weekend offering a bunch of cash for any information about Mitt Romney’s tax affairs. Not exactly classy, but exactly awesome.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who has given up with Cape Town’s various taxi services. I’ve tried so hard to avoid drinking and driving – so I book ahead and every single time they arrive late. Surely that’s not right? I call them (yes, ALL of them) 10 minutes later and the guy […]

Imagine your last memory being in 2005. It certainly was a different world back then – no black US president, no iPhones, no Facebook. This is what happened to Ayanda Nqinana, who was put into a coma following a late night crash on a lonely Eastern Cape road in 2005.
