Always picking up on the nation’s mood, the best in the business have been at it again. There isn’t really much need in beating around the bush with this one. The bushes, quite frankly, aren’t there to be beaten around any more. They have withered and dried.
Yesterday a little blue bird forwarded us a juicy document. That document is the full transcript of proceedings in a criminal case currently being argued in the Cape Town High Court. The transcript details an altercation between Judge Lee Bozalek and Advocate Nehemiah Ballem. And by “altercation” I mean a verbal smackdown. Enjoy this portion of the exchange.
Earth Day 2011 is on the way, and environmental group Greenpeace has released a video telling us that a) coal is the number one contributor to climate change in the world, and b) Facebook needs a lot of coal to keep all 600 million of us tagging and poking.
This, apparently, is what happens when you let Zack Snyder write his own script without any male genitalia to jiggle in slow-motion – $19 million on the opening weekend of an $89 million film. This means Sucker Punch opened behind ‘Diary of A Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules,’ the sequel to a film nobody watched.
Spot the axe murderer Ex-Blue Bull held for axe murders – The 34-year-old suspect, who’d played for the Blue Bulls in both the Vodacom Cup and Currie Cup, was arrested at a home in Durban. Police refused to name him. The team investigating the murders in Umbilo, Lamontville and Yellow Wood Park confiscated an axe […]
The new platform, which is still currently in its design phases, will allow users to create the perfect girlfriend who will allegedly write on your Facebook wall, possibly tweet sweet nothings at you and keep your virtual happiness in mind using other social media platforms.
This is sort of like ‘Where’s Waldo?’ except it’s fun. Jesse Heiman has played background characters in dozens of films and TV shows. Spider-Man? Jesse Heiman was there. Arrested Development? There too. Glee? Yep. The Social Network? Entourage? American Pie? He’s ALWAYS there.
Many a talk show will tell you that kids are growing up too fast these days, with little girls dressing “sexy”, and “Brat” dolls that might be borderline inappropriate for children. But the latest offering from clothing manufacturer Abercrombie and Fitch takes this creepy trend to a whole new level.
This doesn’t happen very often, but it is happening today. We need you to help Craig find his beloved parrot. Check out the missing flier. Craig says: He flew out the front door yesterday, and shit dude, I just gotta find him. My lady is not taking it too well cause he’s basically family. He’s […]
Three robbers enter a police station, lock up the officers on duty and steal a whole lot of stuff. There is no punchline. This happened in the early hours of this morning in the Eastern Cape.
Jacob Barnett has an IQ of 170. According to some, this is reportedly higher than Albert Einstein’s was, although Einstein himself never took the test. Jake is now so far advanced in his Indiana University studies that professors are lining him up for a paid PHD research role. He also finished high school at eight years old.
I’ve only just noticed this, but Richard Simmons could very well have been Pauly Shore’s dad. This fierce fitness queen is part of a slew of video goodness on the Air New Zealand YouTube Channel – starring in his very own fabulous “Fit To Fly” series. They also throw in Snoop Dogg and some body-painted stewardesses.
This was not a very difficult prediction to make, but I did kind of predict that this would happen. Our glorious rugby union has seen it fit to move the Springbok emblem off the front of the jersey, and have relegated it to the left sleeve for the World Cup. And today it has been unveiled for an already miserable South African public to see.
MTV Germany, which is a thing I didn’t know existed until just now, is trying to spread the word to the masses: there is no such thing as accidental sex, please wear condoms. To emphasize the point, they’ve put together a series of comics in which people accidentally have sex and don’t wear condoms.
We are very pleased to announce that our latest 30-day stats reveal a landmark record of sorts – in the form of 100,000 unique readers (430,000 page impressions). That’s pretty radical stuff and continues the massive upward trend we have seen over the last year. Further confirmation of what we thought all along – that […]
There is no doubt Watkin Tudor Jones has worked hard to get where he is – joining the throng of thousands of South Africans that queue everyday at TV castings – hoping to make it big. Check out this classic Nando’s ad featuring Waddy and Marc Lottering.
We’ve been contacted by a number of you who cannot get hold of a Cape Times and wish to read the open letter that we published today. No problem – here it is. Time to grow up a bit people. You shouldn’t be treated like a child. You’re better than that.
Not even designers of world class video games have thought of this one yet. I bet the Qatari engineers are hunched up and sniggering through their beards into their cupped, fist-shaped hands right now. Their World Cup is only in 2022, but these guys clearly have the money to blow to make magic. Very Bruce Almighty of them.
I think I speak for everyone when I say THAT was a party second to none! My God! Thank you to everyone who came and conquered The Grand Cafe & Beach this Saturday! There is a saying I made up many years ago which goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words” – and I […]
Tom Ford is a well-known American fashion designer and the film director of A Single Man – the movie that earned Colin Firth an Oscar nomination last year. And according to Tom, a “gentlemen don’t wear shorts. Unless it is on the tennis court or to the beach. Thoughts?
Is Gaddafi Going To Pull A Great Escape? Italy Plots Escape Route For Gaddafi – Efforts appear to be under way to offer Muammar Gaddafi a way of escape from Libya, with Italy saying it was trying to organise an African haven for him, and the US signalling it would not try to stop the […]
Good news, ye trodden under masses of South Africa! ‘Anonymous’ has finally taken note of your plight and you can expect deliverance from your daily misery as soon as before the Rugby World Cup ends! So rise up and conquer, People! What are you waiting for?
This looks to be pretty rad – a look at the the lives of four photojournalists working in South African townships between 1990 and 1994, based on the book of the same name written by two of the original group. Unfortunate accents aside, the cast and crew are looking pretty rad. Checkit.
Die Antwoord’s “Zef Side” has been chosen by the Guggenheim Foundation, the people who decide who’s who in contemporary art, as one of the top 25 videos on the internet in the last two years.
I’m all for advances in alternative medicine but this is a little too alternative. A German doctor has been found guilty of endangering the lives of 25 patients due to his highly eccentric methodologies which included using lemon juice to sterilise his surgical procedures.
This the long-awaited preview to the upcoming Ayrton Senna movie, which looks to be the greatest film of all time about the greatest driver of all time. The last time I cried in a movie was when MaCauley Culkin died in My Girl, but I’m fully expecting tears of raw man-emotion to roll during this one. Video after the jump.
Guys, let me start of by saying that I am very proud of you. We were only beaten by those sneaky Colombians! If you are from China or India, rather not read further. Ladies, I’m afraid there’s some work to be done. Except if you are from Russia. Inside you’ll find the The World Map Of Average Breast Cup And Penis Size. You are welcome.
There were even rumours of a planned party in Cape Town at one stage, but it appears nothing more than a low key gig went down for Wills this weekend. It has emerged that his stag do took place at home on Mud Island too, reportedly on a friend’s estate in Norfolk.
Willie Nelson is just…awesome. No, really. He totally rocks those two braids. And let’s also not forget admission – live – on the Larry King Show to being stoned. His latest stunt involves getting off marijuana charges in exchange for a performance in court. Like I said: Awesome.
Hoo, boy. Somebody at Guinness had best be working on some serious back-pedaling. Rebecca Lanier just turned 119 years old, which should make her the oldest person now living. As the daughter of former slaves, however, she doesn’t have the right documentation, and therefore doesn’t count.
