Another season of Survivor South Africa is on its way – this time set in the Maldives. We bring you as much pre-release information that Mnet is willing to release, and a hunch that this coming season was so bitterly fought that at least one contestant quit production. Click through for more.
One of Cape Town’s most famous and celebrated clothing brands, Dirty South, is back in the mix with an epic new range for summer. Having originally made their name in the trucker cap market, Dirty South has progressed into a slick streetwear brand, offering some of the best-cut T-shirts you’ll ever find. That’s why it […]
Manic Monday, also known as Transfer Deadline Day, was ended as Big Ben tolled at 11pm UK time yesternight. Torres had been choppered down to West London, Carroll had been whisked from North East to North West and Charlie Adam was seen in a rubber dingy trying to defect from Blackpool. One man is responsible for the hullabaloo: Roman Abramovich.
Hey, remember the whole thunder/ice/volcano scenario in Iceland that cancelled a couple of European flights? Well a similar sort of deal went down in Japan on Sunday, between the Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures. Insert your own joke about Japan copying the west. Awesome photos follow.
I tweeted about this the other day and people lost their minds. Especially when they saw the attached images I took, of the dashboard in the new MINI Countryman. It shows my Twitter stream coming through LIVE – and even shows each person’s Twitter icon, in full colour. And don’t get me started on the […]
Good morning, sunshine people. For your benefit, 2oceansvibe Radio will be bringing you music to match the weather this morning, with in-studio guests and local electronic lounge music phenomenon, GoodLuck. Check out their bio: This upstart act from Cape Town, South Africa have taken their fans by storm with what has been a whirlwind nine months […]
The Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday and apparently the always tasteful PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals) has offered NBC flippin’ great wadges of cash to air an ad filled with women fellating vegetables.[NSFW]
Our Dear Leader’s son/amorphous bag of goo/successor has taken the next great step towards ruling North Korea – he bought himself a furry hat just like his dad’s. It’s not any old hat. The Fargo inspired accessory is made of otter fur by the hands of a master craftsman. Only if you’re very serious about ruling North Korea do you get to wear one of these.
If you’re struggling with which of your thousands of facebook friends to exclude from your 21st invite list, and daddy is an oil/diamond/perlemoen tycoon, the City of Cape Town has come up with a wonderful solution; the Cape Town stadium’s nightly rental tariff has been set at R700k. Of course you don’t have to rent the whole thing…
Prodigy Wins The Cape To Rio – Heineken Cape to Rio update. Prodigy found the wind on Saturday, but lost it on Sunday and finally crossed the finish line on Monday morning to take line honors. Skippered by Chris Frost, the 54ft yacht arrived about 8am, completing the race in just under 16 days and […]
I’m sure the smarter audience out there – both boys and girls alike – will be well aware of the basic joys of having some talcum powder around. Perhaps more traditionally used to combat rash and aid in cut-throat-razor shaves, it is great for your feet when wearing sockless loafers, and equally useful around the nether region on a hot day. The latter being what I wish to talk about today. My point being – Imagine if your talcum powder had a menthol cooling vibe to it as well. Two words – GAME CHANGER. Follow the link – THIS STUFF WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.
Alright, yes, I know, I’m the liberal media and I’m just getting all uppity at Fox over it’s insane coverage of this silly little ‘Egypt’ thing. But you will understand if I get a little worried when Egypt’s biggest ally’s most popular news source literally fails to find Egypt on the map. Follow the link and check this out..
If Charlie Sheen carries on like this I’m making a shrine for him on my wall. 36 hours of coke and vodka until your stomach pushes through your oesophagus. This is the work of a superhuman. Charlie’s in rehab now, but I’m sure it’s only a break. Superhumans also detox.
China’s version of the SABC, the CCTV, is stoking our collective mirth once more with another particularly embarrassing news report. China’s largest news network, and only officially endorsed television news outlet, the CCTV, has repurposed scenes from Top Gun as reportage in a 23 November 2010 evening news bulletin.
This race claims to be the world’s most demanding one-day survival ordeal. You will actually not believe what the competitors have to traverse to make it through this race. Killing fields: fiery fields, swamps, barb wire and mud tunnels. Death warrants must be signed. I choose life.
Bar-room time travel talk usually centers around whether or not it would be cool to murder Hitler, because hey. But this misses a more important issue: whether or not Yoko Ono really killed the Beatles. Director Mark Waters wants to make a movie about that – time traveling Beatles fans, I mean.
After sustaining a drumming injury, Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill tweeted his apologies to their fans last nights, saying “sorry to all the fans in Australia and South Africa. My bum wing needs more time to heal but we’ll be back later this year. Sorry again.”
Just the sort of news we need on a Monday morning.
What on earth is a ‘bum wing’ anyway?
Ja, so basically I surprised even the great Silwood Cooking school, with my orgasmic roast summer vegetable dish. But I can’t take all the credit for it – as it was sent through from France, by Mother Dearest. Click link for the video (and recipe), in case you missed it. Fans of Idols’ Adeline will be quite pleased with this too..
For two days all we heard from Milpark Hospital was how family members of Nelson Mandela arrived in droves. Hundreds, nay thousands, of words were churned out keeping us up to date on the state of journalists converging on a bridge. Not one word was issued describing how Mandela was doing. Why was the public draped in silence?
Zuckerberg And Social Network Actor, Eisenberg, Meet On Saturday Night Live – Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a “surprise” appearance on Saturday Night Live, joking with the actor who played him in The Social Network, Jesse Eisenberg. Viewers got a triple dose of Zuckerberg as Oscar nominee/guest host Eisenberg took the stage, quickly joined by the […]
So some of you may have tried out the Kinect for the Xbox 360. It’s pretty damn awesome, if you don’t mind flailing around like a lunatic in front of the TV. But sometimes the Kinect can go horribly wrong, especially when your kids get in the way…
When Tunisians marched en masse a few weeks ago, their long-serving president fled the country. The success of the popular protests have since set off a wave of dischord across North Africa. Yemen is fast following Tunisia’s lead, while Egypt is reportedly on its last legs, parliamentarily-speaking. Shit, as they say, is going down.
At an undisclosed location in Hawaii, this guy called Devin Graham – who is known for doing odd things in interesting places, and placing videos on the internet – took an abandoned water reservoir turned it into the world’s most coolest Slip ‘n Slide.
Acting President and official Deputy President Kgalemo Mothlanthe held a press conference regarding the health of Nelson Mandela on Friday afternoon at 12h30. Mandela was admitted earlier in the week to Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg under a veil of secrecy for a collapsed lung.
I’m a huge fan of The Office, both Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant’s original and the American rendition. Steve Carell’s recent announcement that he will no longer resume his role as Michael Scott genuinely forced moisture from my face. I was immediately cheered up by an awe-inspiring clip: a meeting between Michael and David Brent.
Well, ladies and gentlemen. Here we have demonstrable proof that Google Street View is a technology that a) makes our lives better, and b) provides canny insight into the daily habits of the human being. In this instance, it is one particularly special character from 40 Stella Road (corner of Dick Burton), Plumstead.
Even I, most cynical man alive, am pretty choked up about this recording. It’s from an unknown soldier in Afghanistan who’s calling his pregnant girlfriend. In the 90 second call he tells her that one of his fellow soldiers had just been killed and that he misses her terribly. Then… he asks her to marry him.
Unrest in the Ivory Coast is making it impossible to live there let alone farm cocoa. Now, half the world’s cocoa comes from the Ivory Coast. Which means half the world’s chocolate comes from the Ivory Coast. We can absolutely not get by with half the world producing the whole world’s chocolate. Absolutely not.
I can only assume that Will Smith is doing this to punish me for not watching Hitch. I mean, he remade The Karate Kid with his son as the lead, which was fine (awful) except for the part where there was no karate. And now he’s remaking Annie, with Jay-Z’s help. Look out for the ‘Hard Knock Life’ rap.
I knew I wasn’t alone in my misery. Well that’s not true, I thought I was alone in my misery. But according to a new paper in the January issue of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, so do many other people.
