The finance minister Pravin Gordhan is not someone you’d want to take to the U2 concert. He might allow a brief period of foot tapping during one of their 80’s classics, but mostly he’d be working out how much the tour had swelled the country’s coffers and observe the discretionary spending habits of the assembled revellers.

That’s why he’s the head bean counter, and long may that last.

In a shockingly innovative move, Dutch clothing company Suit Supply has released an ad campaign showing ruggedly handsome men wearing suits while in the company of half-naked women. Now everybody’s buzzing about how sexist the campaign is, which I’m sure has Suit Supply’s advertising department terribly upset. Maybe they’ll ask some half-naked women to calm them down. Careful, it gets quite steamy after the jump…

Taylor Swift is a “country music sensation” who I have had the privilege of never having heard.
After initially achieving fame via Kanye West’s ego, she now also has the dubious honour of being the celebrity with the Madame Tussauds wax model that looks least like her.

Well, sort of. New Jersey has a pretty huge homeless population. I assume this is what that show, Jersey Shore, is about. And that noble institution, the New Jersey Homeless Management Information System, has introduced a finger-printing system so they can keep track of when homeless folk are using the government-funded soup-kitchens and spas. It’s weird.
