Personally, I’ve never liked those Santa Claus photo ops. Whether I’m in them or not, I just don’t dig it. They’re dodgy and the guy in the suit is almost always a pedophile – it’s practically a pre-requisite. The ones that aren’t pedophiles are working for the Feds anyway; and the replacement sucks, so fuck […]
Avatar is the space between dreams and reality, fantasy and science fiction, “Cowboys and Indians”… I think you get the picture. Simply put… James Cameron’s latest film since Titanic is a dazzling spectacle of computer-generated photographic imagery and vivid contrasting themes. It’s basically like G.I. Joe vs. Thundercats (with a touch of Smurfs)… I mean […]

SA #1 and future World Surf Champion, Jordy Smith , gives us another reason to like his vibe. He’s obviously got TONS of surfboards in his “quiver,” but I did not realise that each of his boards has a girl painted it. A different girl for every board. He doesn’t call them his “boards,” he […]

Invictus attempts to capture the Zeitgeist of the New South Africa in its infancy and watching this film gives us some idea of just how far we’ve come as a nation… I mean, we’ve got a new flag and cop cars aren’t yellow anymore!? Invictus is based on the real-life glory story that has made […]

The uninitiated may want to check out the article we did on SA superstar Jack Parow a short while back. The guy has basically exploded onto the local […]
I feel quite bad that I chilled at Pearl Valley until just before the concert. It kills me that we drove in at the last minute and got VIP parking and grabbed a beer before being escorted to the Heineken VIP tent and then into the Golden Circle. I genuinely do feel bad. CLICK HERE […]
I got an email a few months back from a 2oceansviber, telling me about this pair of twin brothers who were making some seriously cool music. “Locnville” was the name. I get a lot of people emailing and telling about their friend’s “awesome” band and sadly now take “heads ups” with a pinch of salt. […]
No one week ago we gave you the AWESOMENESS that is/was the Liesbeek River feature on Google Earth, citing “underage orgies” as a common occurrence at said river. That has apparently been changed. Not that it has stopped other SA Wikipedia nuggets, including this one, describing the town of Underberg, in Kwazulu-Natal. Enjoy that last […]
Just when you thought 2010 was the year, undisputed “Master of Disaster”, Roland Emmerich (Independence Day) brings us 2012, a doomsday, apocalypse, cataclysm, “it’s the end of the world as we know it”, catastrophe of a film to rival The Day After Tomorrow… another “SimEarth” Emmerich blockbuster. Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, volcanoes, parking tickets, 2012 is […]

A buddy of mine, John BG, has embraced tattoos like you’ve never seen. Not scared of taking things to the next level, or giving in to a dare, his antics have become something of folk legend. This weekend I finally got to see the infamous SABS stamp on his behind. It’s true. It exists. For […]
Most some of you are aware that the 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is taking place right now. Due to the earth rotation and the moon etc. it’s actually night time over there. Tonight on CBS, the highly-anticipated Victoria Secret Fashion Show will show off some eye candy for male viewers and a spectacular $3 […]
It’s true what they say – “If you can dream it, you can do it.” I remember as a kid, dreaming of beautiful women pouring expensive champagne all over my body as I lay on expensive yachts with oysters being dropped into my mouth by incredibly well-tanned dwarves. And now, it has turned into reality. […]
Those of you who have come across the wonders of Google may will be aware of the pain I feel when someone asks a question which Google can very easily answer. I don’t know if some people believe that Google only specialises in one field… maybe they used Google once, but that was to find […]
He’s done it again. David Thorne just keeps on killing it. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, you can kick off with the David Thorne SPIDER EMAILS here. There have been many others, including “Party in Apartment 3,” which I told you about. And then came this absolute BEEEEEEAUT! From: Simon EdhouseDate: […]
I received a stunning little tipoff from one Justin, giving me the heads up on the Cape Town portion of Google Earth. I hadn’t yet installed Google Earth onto my new MacBook Pro (courtesy of Digicape – the anti-iStore) so I did that in about 1 minute flat (download Google Earth here) and “booted” it […]

Spotted in their window over the last week: Spotted in Mabu Vinyl’s shop window.. Enjoy the “Dickhead” sign above the book You simply CANNOT put a price on that kind of […]
The Twilight Saga: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer is the latest victim to have been put through the Hollywood sausage machine like that magical kid with John Lennon style glasses and a jet-powered broomstick. I used to associate ‘twilight’ with that time of day when the light diffuses in the sky just before dawn or […]
There was great concern as to the reason behind the Nazi flags flying at the University of Cape Town this weekend. Many speculated that they were hoisted for some movie being shot in and around the Mother City. Not a bad reason – certainly better than the suggestion of there being a Nazi convention being […]

Zombieland is a rough place to grow old in alright – especially if you don’t know the fundamental rules of survival. Sure, you know how to do CPR, but in the event of a zombie apocalypse, you’d be wise to at least skim through the most important ones… that is, if don’t want to lose […]
