Jerome Kerviel, the rogue French futures trader who almost single-handedly caused a stock market meltdown, has been found guilty of breach of trust, forgery and entering false computer data. The sentence passed down by the judge is being described by commentators as “pant-wetting”.

Are You On Google’s Blacklist? Google’s Bizarre Blacklist – Somewhere hidden deep within Google’s massive cache of servers, there is a blacklist unlike any other. For starters, it contains enough sexually suggestive terms to make any 15-year-old boy’s head explode. But there are also some unexpected words, like, say, Latina. And hidden from public view, […]

South African media’s most ubiquitous judge and man-about-town, Randall Abrahams has been filmed with what appears to be clear liquid seeping from his eye sockets during shooting for SA’s Got Talent.
That inspirational fellow known as ‘Cigar Guy’ has certainly caught the attention of photo-manipulating gurus in the past 24 hours. Amazingly, this photo has developed a whole new vibe since it was taken: originally a snap of Tiger Woods’ chip travelling towards a cameraman’s lens, it’s now the birth of a new character in the Where’s Wally books. Where’s Cigar Guy? Sounds good, won’t you agree?
Ever wondered if she has actually faked it? Who is getting more head? And is it ok to like a five course meal and sometimes want a snack too – why does it bother her when you go at it on your own?
VVS Laxman withstood severe back spasms to guide India to a thrilling 1-wicket win over the Aussies this morning to ensure that Ricky ‘Punter’ Ponting is still winless as captain on Indian soil. The hosts were in a bad way at 124-8 chasing 216, but an immense 10th-wicket stand of 81 between Laxman and Ishant Sharma propelled the Indians within touching distance of the win.
The Bush administration was universally panned. Today even the world’s darling, Barrack “Anyone-But-Bush” Obama’s detractors are becoming increasingly vocal. It is at this quagmire in their nation’s history that Americans are pleading, “Who will help us achieve a smaller, fiscally responsible, decentralized federal government?”
Mariah Carey isn’t exactly humble when exhibiting her lady lumps. So how does one reconcile the flaunting of flesh, international stardom and conservative countries? Answer: Censorship by cat. Beware. Awesomeness after the jump.

Tiger had a phenomenal round yesterday, ending the tournament joint top-scorer with Luke Donald, Ian Poulter and Steve Stricker. However, it wasn’t looking promising for him when this frozen moment was recorded!

The enormous 24.78 carat gem is cut into a rectangular shape with rounded corners, and mounted on a ring in between two clear stones. […]
I am in a state of shock as I write this. I was just trying to remind myself when the Killer’s debut album, Hot Fuss, was released and Wikipedia told me it was 2004! As in nearly seven years ago. I dared Wiki to try lying to me one more time but it promised me it was telling the truth. “Why would I lie?” it asked. I had no good answer.
Marmite, Mrs Balls Chutney, Iron Brew, and Tropica. These are the flavours of my childhood, and every now and then, a craving hits, and the inevitable binge ensues. I know, I disgust myself. Happily, I’ve been vindicated by science. Get a child hooked on your product in their formative years, and you’ve got them for life.
What an end to an up-and-down, stop-start Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor. The Europeans have won, despite an awesome American comeback in the singles matches. The class of the Irish shone through as Graeme McDowell held a remarkable putt on the 16th to seize the initiative from Hunter Mahan, who conceded on the 17th to hand Europe a memorable victory.
There’s a lot to be said for the emancipation of the modern female. We haven’t done all that badly. But there is one thing that a woman could never get right: “Female freedom – The Freedom to Pee Standing Up!” Well because you know, you don’t have real freedom until you can urinate in a bank queue.
Sky Sports golf reporter, Di Stewart (former girlfriend of Jonny Wilkinson), is flexing her golfing intellect from course side at Celtic Manor as the Ryder cup moves towards its finale.
A recent study has revealed what many of us have known for years. If you make an unholy grunting noise as you hurtle a tennis ball towards someone at 180km/h, their reaction times might be ever so slightly diminished.
Strange, but true.
That’s what they’re calling it over at itweb.co.za. Round these parts we call it ‘logical.’ So does Howard Stern, who is making the move from satellite radio over to internet radio. And so are a number of big players in SA! Not to mention MINI, who are launching the ‘Countryman’ soon, which comes with built-in Internet Radio!
Remember those days when there was nothing quite like the excitement you felt when arriving at an air show with your parents? Well Jaguar has managed to create that same fuzzy feeling with their C-X75 concept which was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show last week
Didier Drogba proved yet again to be the scourge of Arsene Wenger’s striplings. Incredibly, his deft backheel was his 13th goal in just 11 starts against the Gunners and it’s as plain as the nose on one’s face that he relishes playing against them. Arsenal were dragooned off the pitch once again by a Chelsea side that ran out 2-0 winners.
The PigSpotter has been getting a lot of media attention over recent weeks. The Mail & Guardian has nailed the most readable interview thus far, with a few moments of awkward email correspondence passive aggression.
“You talkin’ ta me?”
I can imagine that the big worry when divorcing a comedian is having your private life dragged on stage for the world to ridicule. Doubly so if your name is Annelise Holland and you’ve been caught cheating on your comedian husband less than a year after your wedding.
A similar question has been asked countless times amongst South Africans after we successfully hosted sport’s biggest mega-event. India is the second fastest-growing economy in the world and has had to spend £3bn to host the games, 60 times the original budget!
A friend of mine once responded to a proposal for a new type of TV cooking show, with, “yes, that’s a great idea – because that’s all we need right now – another cooking show.” He was being sarcastic, of course – as am I when I say that ANOTHER Harry Potter book is just what the world needs right now!

Klum will no longer be one of the faces of lingerie giant, Victoria’s Secret. “All good things have […]
I’ve been accused of choosing form over substance in my time. Vacillating between the timeless elegance of a 1960s Porsche Speedster over a 2009 Audi being the most recent example. While it didn’t, the timeless very nearly usurped the practical. (Implicit in this is that I couldn’t get both, which is a topic for another day.)
