You know it’s a typical boy band song when it starts with the words, “Yeaahh yeeaahh, yeaahh”, and is backed by soulful guitar picking that morphs into a powerful crescendo of bromance.
This video serves to confirm that Russian children, at least in 1997, are hard as nails. Here, two siblings take part in a friendly game of ‘see who can take down the deadly mammal’.
Volleyball just doesn’t get the same kind of press that other ball sports do. Well, maybe (women’s) beach volleyball does – but certainly not indoor volleyball. We’d like to change that, if only for a minute.

Talk about coming out of the blue. Wes Anderson just made a new film, ‘Castello Cavalcanti’, available on the web, for free. There was no build-up, no trailers and not even rumours. But you know what, we’re glad about it
Heard of Chris Hadfield? He’s that awesome Canadian astronaut who spent a few months in the space station, and tweeted about his entire journey. He even recorded a music video in space, as well as gave tips on how to sleep in zero-gravity. Now, he’s giving tips on mustache-cultivation.
Lily Allen you biscuit – where have you been? The world has been missing a little bite and cynicism, thank god she chose to make her musical comeback now.

Blockbuster has been an American institution for well over 25 years. At the peak of it’s power, it employed up to 60,000 employees in 9,000 stores across America. Now, they’re moving online, and in so doing have closed all of their remaining 300 stores.
While some of us still struggle to speak english good, 10-year-old Cameron Bissett has long surpassed mere sentences – he is fluent is speaking backwards.

After what was a tightly contested 2-2 draw that saw Chelsea claim a point after a controversial last-minute penalty, Jose Mourinho stirred some violence after the match when he called West Brom defender Jonas Olsson a ‘mickey-mouse player’.

You’ll be happy to know that Ken Block is back with Gymkhana 6, and it looks like it could be heading the same way as Gymkhana 5. Written, directed and driven by Ken Block, Gymkhana 6 is yet another masterful demonstration of driving genius.
Local film maker, Ben Jay Crossman got in touch with us recently to share his video series, titled ‘The Streets Of Fietas’. The series is a stark insight into the lives of the residents of one of Johannesburg’s poorest suburbs, as they battle drug addiction. This is part three of three.
Honestly – do people not know that CCTV cameras see everything? Apparently not. In the latest episode of ‘smile, you’re on CCTV,’ 22 year-old Dinara, from Turkey, attempts to sell her baby at an airport for R5,000.
This kid has clearly not seen a day without playing football. How else could he be this good at such a young age? We’ve seen all the pros do some fancy flicks on the sidelines, like Mesut Ozil’s chewing gum trick, but we’ve never been given a performance quite like this one.
This is some of the worst driving you will ever see. Not simply because of the actual driving, but because of the driving philosophy held by the driver in question – it boggles the mind.

Remember the Crazy Nasty Ass Honeybadger? The viral video that nailed over 63 million views? The same guy who did that video found out about the tweeting badger from the Jo’Burg Zoo, and gave him the same treatment. Check it out.

Being a consumer is great when you have two heavyweight tech brands fighting to the death for your money. The competition between Google and Apple is heating up – and that is totally fine by us. In response to Apple’s launch of the iPad Air and OS X Mavericks, Google released the new Nexus 5 phone, as well as their new Android operating system. But they didn’t stop there.
Right. When you’re expecting a child, you’re also expected to make some sort of announcement, have a baby shower, or some sort of event that pre-empts the possibility of one of your friends complaining that ‘you didn’t tell them’. Most people tend to do it the old fashioned way, and some don’t even bother. But one couple from North Salt Lake City decided to do something a little different.
This is awesome. A busker in Berlin was caught on camera by a passer-by when he was playing ‘Smalltown Boy’ by Bronski Beat. Halfway through, a bald man and his dog approach him as the man begins to chime in. Surprisingly, he sings pretty well. The busker doesn’t seem too fazed by the whole ordeal, until he realises that the bald man just happens to be Bronski Beat’s legendary frontman, Jimmy Somerville.
This video is going to be better than you expect – trust me. It’s the masterpiece of one Matthijs Vlot, who is basically a video remix genius. He spends hours cutting and chopping video, and piecing it back together to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Literally.
This is a bit of a weird one. You would expect the star of movies like ‘True Grit’ and ‘No Country For Old Men’ to put up a decent bar fight, but this is just embarrassing. The 45 year-old seemed to be trying to take down a bouncer at O’Brien’s Irish Pub in Santa Monica. He was outraged because the bouncer had told him that the pub was closing for the night – and he was prepared to fight to keep it open.
“Lets go do a show in Brazil,” Bieber’s manager said. “It will be so relaxing,” he said. Well, after what has been a very hectic week in Brazil, it doesn’t look like JB will be going back any time soon. First, he attempts to leave a brothel under a bed sheet, but gets caught anyway. And now this. It feels as if, by some divine mercy, some sort of deity has heard the worlds’ anti-Bieber sentiments,and has answered them oh so swiftly.
Our collective fascination with the extra-terrestrial is never-ending. We always seem to be able to come up with new ways of tricking ourselves into believing that there are indeed aliens floating around earth. Whether it’s crop-circles, weird lights in the sky or strange things in the water – we are constantly reminded that more often than not, we’re just spooking ourselves. This time, it’s the American drones that are to blame.
