Those among us who work in the military deserve the utmost respect, honour and thanks. Your job is serious, and important, we know.
Oh dear. This is unfortunate. A billboard owner in southern India is enjoying the fruits of a marketing meltdown after signage dedicated to the memory of Nelson Mandela featured Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King Jr, and… Yep, Morgan Freeman.
This is like one of those bad dreams. A base jumper near Moab, Utah, fully collided with the cliff he’d just jumped off – and then had to face an age-long tumble to the ground.
Well-known YouTube prankster, Roman Atwood, thought it would be hilarious if he convinced his girlfriend that he had been cheating on her. His prank did turn out to be pretty hilarious, but only because it totally and utterly backfired.
There are many ways of using a billboard to attract the attention of potential customers. Whether this was a deft marketing ploy or sheer idiocy, we will never know.
This is possibly one of the most embarrassing helicopter crashes ever. If the pilot is reading this – we apologise – but you can’t hide stuff like this for long.
Two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro was given an Oscar for his role as Vito Corleone in ‘The Godfather Part II’. But, in a strange turn of events, it has been revealed that he also auditioned for the role of Santino ‘Sonny’ Corleone in the first film -something that he was ultimately not as successful with.
The Vans Warped Tour was cancelled yesterday, after a show in London saw one of the artists leap into the crowd from 12 metres. A rapper from the US, George Watsky, thought it would be cool to leap off the lighting rig and into the waiting crowd below. It wasn’t.
One can only imagine that the executive producer of this hot mess is reaching Hitler/Bunker levels of desperation, as the misery storm that is Africa News Network 7 continues to spiral toward the earth – a fuselage without wings, captained by a corpse. CLICK HERE and HERE… AND HERE for yesterday’s ANN7 fails. Do you work […]
This runaway-train-on-fire is reaching such exquisite levels of ineptitude that we are now wholly convinced that the entire enterprise is a subversive satirical comedy channel to rival the best in the world. Take this ANN7 job ad, for example.
LG decided to release 100 helium balloons in an outdoor park in Seoul, each containing a voucher for a free LG G2 smartphone, which sells at full retail for about R8,500. What they didn’t plan for though, was a surge of people (think World War Z) with BB guns and knives on sticks trying to pop the balloons to get their hands on a voucher.
It takes a lot of courage to pop the question. It takes even more to decide to do it at a baseball game in front of thousands of spectators, and will more than likely be caught on camera and beamed to thousands more in their living rooms. In other words, you have to be certain that this will work out.
You know the drill: a dude in a suit smashes his fist of fury through a wooden board, and everyone goes, “Aaaah!” Except that this guy fails, and fails again. And when he does manage to move a board, he kicks it into the head of a small child watching the demonstration. Quality.
Enjoy these 18 minutes of comedy as Failarmy presents a compilation of the best fails for 2013. A video compilation that documents the stupid, the silly, the sometimes dangerous, but most importantly the hilarious things that people and animals do.
The past year has been an incredible one in terms of sporting events. But while watching athletes break records or pushing their bodies to the limit is always thrilling, its those micro-moments that make sports so fun to watch. And what better way to see spontaneous and awkward athlete reactions, or split-second failures, other than via GIF files?
Former Playboy Brazil model Nana Gouvêa posted tactless photos on her Facebook page leaning seductively on fallen trees and ruined cars in a post-Sandy New York. It went viral, with an article on the photos gaining 5.9 million likes, and 5900 tweets.
All this German guy wanted to do was impress chicks and look awesome in front of his friends. And we’ll be honest, had he managed to jump into, and break through the surface of that frozen pool, that would have been pretty cool.
It takes a lot to get to the Olympics. Strict training, years of dedication and many, many sacrifices. Especially when you come from a country like Germany, where the competition to make the cut is tough. When you finally make it onto the springboard at the London Games, it must really suck to Feck it up.
In a classic case of defeating the point so badly that the point goes into the corner and cries for its mommy, recent protests around Cape Town – usually focused on service delivery – have destroyed R2 millon worth of city property, the city has revealed.
America’s gay hating public have called for a boycott after cookie company Oreo posted a picture in support of Gay Pride on it’s website. I’d have thought it would have been the racists, seeing as an Oreo is all about vanilla sandwiched between two delicious pieces of chocolate wafer. Here’s what all the fuss was about.
Paris Hilton is now a DJ, and booked (bought?) herself a set during the Pop Music Festival in Brazil. But it turns out she’s not quite “there” yet. That’s if the heckling and booing from the crowd was any indicator. Deadmau5 also had the following to say on Twitter after seeing it: “To be fair… the mayans saw this shit coming.”
A few days ago Microsoft unveiled what many are calling its “iPad killer”, the brand new Surface tablet. Unfortunately for them however, things went horribly, horribly wrong at a live product demonstration. Click for for a laugh at their expense.
In an attempt to create hype around an upcoming range of sneakers, Adidas posted a picture of their new “JS Roundhouse Mids” trainers on their Facebook page. But, as they soon learned, they were the only ones who thought accessorising a pair of shoes with slave shackles was a good idea.
The idea of not mentioning the war was lost on a bunch of Poms in Haworth, a small village near Bradford in West Yorkshire, who were seen wearing Nazi SS costumes as a delegation of German visitors arrived on a visit to their British twin town.
Sweden has been handing its Twitter account to a different citizen every week for the past seven months. Which has been great for the most part, with priests and lesbian truck drivers representing the country – except the latest @sweden handler has been catching some flack for trying to figure out “whats the fuzz with jews.”
The Scottish are not known to be the “winningest” of teams. So when a victory does come along, especially against a team like Australia, a celebration is in order. Sometimes, though, this gets taken just a little too far. It’s all fun and games until a flanker and a wing bash their heads open.
Just before the start of the SA/Britain women’s hockey game at the London Cup yesterday, both teams had their national anthem played at the stadium. Except, when it was South Africa’s turn, they got played “Die Stem”. The South African Hockey Association has now requested a personal apology from competition manager Steve Catton.
South Africa’s transition to full digital terrestrial broadcasting is one of those processes that one measures in aeons, like the lifespan of stars or the inexorable evolution of monkey-fish-frogs into homo sapiens. The Ministry of Communications released the latest twist in this lengthy tale this morning, so get your R700 Set Top Box fee ready while we explore Dina’s latest digital daydream, after the jump!
The unknown driver, described only as an “internet millionaire”, had taken the sports car on a test drive on a highway in southern California when the car inexplicably burst into flames. Some internet sources suggest the problem may have originated from the left rear wheel, however this has not yet been confirmed. Click through for the video.
