It didn’t take long for the inevitable parodies of our Mr South Africa hero, Adriaan Bergh, to start travelling the interwebs. While this latest Mr South Africa wannabe certainly has potential, he unfortunately lacks the fifth and most important characteristic that we look for in a Mr South Africa which is, of course, access to a golf cart.

Hatsune Mikue is an apparently ‘realistic’ holographic singing idol, massively popular in Japan. ‘Sure,’ you might say to yourself, ‘I’m big in Japan too,’ to which I say shut up, that wasn’t funny when your dad said it thirty years ago either. A thing that isn’t real sold out a 25,000-person stadium. This is how the world ends – with hologram designed by a company called ‘Crypton Future Media.’

If you’re wondering just exactly what the diamond that we discussed earlier looks like, take a gander at that.

You notice how that guy in your block of flats who hits the reefer regularly always seem a little mentally slower off the mark? Shockingly, a new study has revealed that smoking weed regularly lowers cognitive function, especially if you started smoking before you were 16.

A big thumbs-down is what they’re giving it, on the cigarette-pack warnings found in Chile. It is interesting to note the contrast between them and the yanks, who have just introduced new warnings which show graphic imagery on their packs, comparing cigarettes to mainlining heroimn.

Prince William proposed to his lady. She said yes. He will become king. She will become queen. Bid farewell to any hopes of a moderately normal life, Kate.

I mean, everyone goes on about battery-life and camera quality and storage space and keyboard use and reception, when everyone is actually, consciously skirting around the real issue at hand – how do they handle on a braai grid? Which one dies first? What happens after that? All revealed after the jump!

The other day, while I was busying myself writing articles about men who use Gumtree to swap citizenship for sex, a German artist was doing something infinitely more radical.

Ever wondered how Jimmy Bullard pulls off the debonair look the way he does? I recently found the answer as Bullard was cast in the 21st birthday advert for all-in-one shampoo, Wash-‘N-Go in March this year. Ever the comical character, the Hull City midfielder should give up football and become a style-guru. [VIDEO]

Have you ever had a sports coach that berated you even if you conceded just one try/goal/point, but still won? I found there was always one coach who demanded perfection that was a bit beyond his/her team (particularly if they were coaching the U16C hockey side). It appears China women’s football coach has some pretty high standards.
