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.
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 two of three.
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.
There’s been plenty of talk about how awesome Elon Musk is. The guy has become something of an enigma, what with him being the CEO & CTO of SpaceX and CEO & Chief Product Architect of Tesla Motors. He’s also in the news for his ideas to turn James Bonds Lotus Esprit submarine-car into a real submarine – and for his grand ideas for the construction of the hyperloop.
There have been sightings of four mysterious ‘barges’ floating in the San Francisco bay area. Journalists and coast guards have gone to extra lengths to find out precisely what these things are, and to whom they belong. Sadly, they’ve managed to find out nothing, except for the fact that they belong to Google, and that the internet-giant is using them for some sort of secret project.
Orlando Bloom appeared on Katie Couric’s show in the States earlier this week to chat about his split from his wife, Miranda Kerr. The full version of the show airs tonight. The interview follows the recent surfacing of photos showing Kerr and Bloom walking arm in arm, after the announcement of their separation. Thus spake […]
A video has surfaced that shows a pupil at Sizimele High School in Dannhauser, KwaZulu-Natal being murdered in full view of other pupils at his school. Bongani Nkabinde was beaten and speared to death in a fight with other pupils. The horrifying attack happened just after pupils attended their morning assembly.
A very interesting thing happened yesterday and it deteriorated rapidly, as we predicted. It had to do with Land Rover, FNB, a media company called Mindshare and a sex tape.
Ridiculous, in a good way. Here’s a little something to get you onto the workday hom stretch. What we have here is a short insert from the full length ski doccie, ‘Valhalla’. There doesn’t seem to be any rationale behind this, other than an expression of the joy of skiing. And being naked. And being naked and skiing.
Of course, by “local comedy duo”, we mean Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues. Here’s the gist: Join Lt. Brann Wilson & Officer Kevin Face of the new, elite Movember taskforce – MOPO911 – as they patrol the streets and keep them safe from fakers and try-hards, whilst also encouraging those who think they cannot grow a glorious mo for the month of Movember.
Many of us know Russell Brand as an outrageous comedian famed for his absurd brand of humour. Not many anticipated his rise from the stand-up comedy stage, through the world of film and finally into political writing. He’s become a bit of an enigma in his own right, blending ridiculously silly humour with an earnest sense of political awareness – which comes to the fore in an interview with one of Britains toughest journos.
Remember Triumph the insult comic dog? He’s that puppet that appeared in Eminem’s ‘Ass Like That’ video. Basically, he’s hilarious. In this clip, he visits one of those all-time favourite American things – a beer festival. He takes a few jabs at craft beer, alcoholics, and men with moustaches. It’s a classic.
Remember that story we posted about the bikers who chased down a Ranger Rover and beat up the driver? We have some new footage that reveals just what happened when the driver got a stuck in traffic. There’s some hectic footage of the guy being dragged out of the car and beaten up, but what’s really interesting is the emerging story of an undercover cop who, in a bid to remain undercover, got involved in the carnage himself.
You may, like us, have been rattled by the news that the NSA is pying on pretty much everyone in the world. If your paranoia has gotten a firm grip on you, you may well want to join the growing band of people who opt to go underground. But you need not necessarily lose your ability to surf the web. Check out how.
Joel Schat created this radical timelapse highlighting the locations of Walter White’s gradual journey from high school chemistry teacher to New Mexico’s meth kingpin. All the major filming locations are represented, from the White house, to Los Pollos Hermanos, to Saul Goodman’s office.
Not content to let the hartebeest rest easy at the top of the pile of South African antelope attempting to murder athletes, a small group of Wildebeest ran headlong towards Impi Elite race contender, James Duncan on Saturday morning at the Lievland Estate in Stellenbosch, narrowly missing their target.
In yet another magnificent example of art immitating life, what we have here is Australian cricketer, Brad Haddin copping a finger to the eye following a poorly-executed high five by a team mate. The scenario is a direct play-acting of a scene from cult classic radio comedy programme, The 12th Man, which was written and performed by comedian Billy Birmingham.
Well imagine the hundreds and thousands of people that walked past Banksy’s New York street stand, not realising they could buy his art – worth millions – for a few dollars. One woman even negotiated a 50% discount!
Starring Bale, Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner and Jennifer Lawrence, “American Hustle” is out in American theaters on December 13, and we’re of the opinion that this has the potential to be the best broad-collar-suit film since Goodfellas, or at least Boogie Nights. Also, Christian Bale: that boep, my man. That boep.
Local YouTube phemon, Anne Hirsch has been causing quite a stink (a nice stink) lately, and her success has begged the question: Is the future of South African comedy online? Watch the clip, and find out. Catch Tech Report every Thursday evening at 21h30 on eNCA Africa DSTV channel 403. Check out their YouTube channel, here. Follow […]
