We’re […]
We all have our lapses of judgment. But some of us make such horrendously poor decisions that one simply has to ask, “What were they on?”. Every week we bring you three contenders in what can only be described as a battle of small wits. So, with great pleasure we present this week’s three La […]
All this newsreader had to say was, “more teens are having luck finding summer jobs”. Instead she managed to replace “luck” with another word. This one starts with a “F” and rhymes with “luck”, as well as “buck” and “duck”. Trying to keep her composure whilst realising her EPIC FAIL, however, is even more priceless. If you are at work, keep the volume down.

Follow the link for 90 Prince Phillip quotes that will knock your socks off. […]
Random security checks are commonplace in the states. Surely these people are eventually going to get tired of having full body pat-downs while, say, shopping for discounted Caesar salads at their local Costco, you say. Well, the guys at 4th Amendment Wear are definitely bored with the American security tyranny.
The Australian government appears to be seriously considering a culling-for-carbon-credits plan to reduce the methane emissions from the estimated 1.2 million wild camels roaming the outback. Earlier today we reported that domestic cats in parts of Sydney have a curfew. Now camels are in trouble for burping and farting too much.
A study done by some reputable people has found the average video gamer to be around 37. Quick question: who do you picture when you think about a 37 year-old gamer? Does it involve someone who has yet to lose his virginity, or someone who can actually speak Klingon? You’d be wrong. The study cites more parents playing games with their children as main reason.
Look, I don’t like to court contradiction, least of all on the web, but I think I may have accidentally lied to you guys yesterday. I told you that this beer advertisement was the best beer ad that there ever was, and I meant it. I did. But then the internet showed me this.
Tech site cnet is having an important Reporters’ Roundtable discussion on a topic that affects us all: Why are end user license agreements and terms of service so incredible long and virtually indecipherable? Academy Award winner, Richard Dreyfus, helps to illustrate this point, by performing the iTunes EULA.
Cape Town’s very own Locnville – a twin due “electro-pop” music act, found themselves in the middle of a fight on Thursday night in Claremont. Apparently it was in the ‘early hours’ so I would imagine this came after they were ripping it up at Tiger Tiger – which is where I would have been […]
In yet another move to convince us that Scandinavian politics makes sense: the government of Norway is inexplicably offering to ‘train’ foreign diplomats in the ways of black metal. As in, the musical genre. Specifically, ‘True Norwegian Black Metal’, which you would know by now if you were a foreign diplomat in Norway.

The Aussies are extreme at the best of times, but now pet cats in several of Sydney’s suburbs will be forced to curl up inside their homes from dusk to dawn under a new curfew rule that hopes to curb overnight attacks on native wildlife.
Sarah Burge is no stranger to the Mother of the Year competition – almost a veteran, really. Last year she made the finals for teaching her six-year-old how to pole dance. This year she’s made the short list once again with a brilliant example of motherly love: giving her daughter a boob job voucher for her SEVENTH birthday. Well done, mom!
In a seriously bizarre story, a Virginia inmate, named Ophelia De’lonta, is suing the US Federal Government for the right to have a sex change after “she” failed on numerous occasions to castrate herself.

The ANC Youth League is not very happy with Idols judge Gareth Cliff. In fact, they have called for him to be axed from the show. The reason: he said that the youth of Polokwane have no talent.
Yay, science. The guys over at Continuum fashion have made the world’s first ready-to-wear, completely 3D printed bikini. It’s called the N12, and it’s pretty cool. Above and beyond it being a sexy-looking bikini, the whole thing is made up of 3D printed pieces that snap together like lego.
Reject tag. That’s the best solution to most Facebook picture problems involving you looking dodgy, drunk or disorderly in someone else’s weekend photo album, right? Not anymore. In more FB news today, the social network has decided it’s rad and totally okay to have face-recognition software automatically detect users in images, even career-damaging ones.
The campaign against the current tabulated form of the proposed Protection of Information Bill peaked at the end of last week. The ANC finally realised how silly it might look in the long-run and joined the united push for a postponement on its signing. Desmond Tutu is now rallying us all to get behind our freedom too.
Movie trailer voice: “David Norris is about to see something no one is supposed to see. Once you know their secret you become their target. The Adjustment Bureau.” It’s tragic when a brilliant concept doesn’t measure up to its full potential. This is the case in The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt…
Footage of a bunny born without ears has emerged from just outside the exclusion zone, near Japan’s crippled Fukushima plant. Thanks to help of local media and Japan’s online community, the inhabitants of this area now fear the possibility of one day bearing kids with no ears.
moonage3, who uploaded this advert by Hahn Brewery, called it the ‘Most EPIC beer commercial EVER.’ Now, the word ‘epic’ is getting a little stale, and nobody likes too many letters in upper case, but just this once I’m in agreement with moonage3. Please. Let Hahn Brewery show you how they put awesome in a bottle.
Ah the Department of Home Affairs. They might be one of the world’s most bloated, corrupt and incompetent government departments, but at least they have a sense of humour. As 70-year-old pensioner, Paulinah Ragatji found out, when she was told that she would need to be accompanied by her dead parents, in order to receive an ID.
