It was a sad day in South Africa yesterday as black Tuesday saw the passing of the access to information bill.

Seeing as speech and the freedom thereof is pretty pertinent right now in SA, I thought this little gem might interest you folks. Thanks to the people at Factspy.net

Every now and again you come across a mind blowing bit of video done by a mate of a mate. I came across this masterpiece done by Harold Durnez recently which shows just how cool it is to live in Cape Town. This video has it all, including a shot of a dinner party in the complex I live in… respect. (more…)

With the Western Black Rhino now confirmed as being extinct and with 2011 being big on Rhino’s and poachers , people seem to be coming together to fight for the Rhino’s. In this past week, social networks have been covered in pictures of Rhino’s who have had their horns cut off,accompanied by campaigns to help stop the killing of these beautiful animals. (more…)

This is just down right weird…

I recently received a letter from our Body Corporate . (more…)

In a race between bike, bus and car, the Bicycling team put the new 23km cycle path in Cape Town to the test. And the winner is…

Its being reported that Colonel Gaddafi’s resistance ended today as he was killed during the taking of Sirte.

An official said the ousted Libya dictator had been shot in the legs during his capture, but he had also been hit in the head during the firefight.

Only in Africa (it’s the only place where wildlife actually roams freely)

This mountain biker got more than he bargained for when he was taken out by a Red Hartebeest. Nice!

The Johannesburg-born Van Vuuren edged out Capetonian Mark Haze by just 0.9% of the almost two million votes cast – the closest margin in the history of the competition.

When the voting closed on Monday, Van Vuuren had secured 50.49% of the votes. Voting for the final was particularly heavy – a quarter or so of the eight million or so votes cast throughout the season were for last night’s showdown.

And even though he hardly sang the first half of his winning song and debut single, Hall of Mirrors, no one cared.

It looked like the majority of the Mosaiek Teatro in Fairland, northern Johannesburg, had got the man they wanted.

”I don’t feel like I’m even on this planet right now. I feel unbelievable. It’s really the greatest thing that’s ever happened in my life,” said Van Vuuren.

Here is his debut single, Hall of Mirrors.

As Asstastic, my role on socialyz ,besides talking a load of kak, is also to bring you the weird and wonderful and the down right nasty. I am known for my crude sense of humour and my sharp wit and my keen eye for the absurd. I take pride in all my articles and this one is no exception. (more…)

If you’re a regular with us here on Socialyz, you’ll know that our mate, Andre the property broker, always sends us really cute videos. Well, he has done it again, he sent me this video. We all know it but like Andre said in his email to me, it makes him feel warm and fuzzy everytime he watches this.

Thats right, and it’s in aid of promoting the latest Loeries, nice one Riaan.

It’s Monday ( dreaded Monday) and it’s all fun and games in the office this morning. My assistant and I really don’t feel like working today so I decided to find something funny we could all laugh at.

Jeff Dunham has a new show, Controlled Chaos,  and here is a sneak preview…

This one is straight out of the cute files. Sent to me by none other than my mate Andre the Property Broker, this video has us all going ‘aaaah cute’ in the office. Nice for a Friday morning… This is Nala the baby Capuchin monkey who has never seen an iPhone before…

It’s time for all you old boys and girls to show your support for your teams in the Annual MOB (Milnerton Old Boys) Old Boys Rugby Festival which is going down at Milnerton High School.

So what’s this about? It’s a tournament that pits the best Old Boys from various schools against each other for bragging rights to show which school boasts the best old boys team. (more…)

I’m a big Foo Fighters fan. Dave Grohl in particular just gives that vibe that it’s all about the rock.

Driving guitars, heart-pounding drums and growling lyrics tempered with some amazing melodies and a massive dose of stage presence make them one of the bands that appear on my “must see live” list before I (or any of them) are too old or too dead to do so.

Another thing I enjoy about them is their ability to take the complete mickey out of themselves in some of their music videos. Take “Low” where Jack Black and Dave Grohl get up to some night time shenanigans in a motel. Or “Learning to Fly” which features both of Tenacious D’s members accidentally spiking the coffee on board an airplane being flown by the Foo’s.

And their latest video for the track “Walk” off the Wasting Light album (an excellent listen). This one is a take on the great Michael Douglas movie, “Falling Down” and is definitely worth a watch.

Enjoy.

Famous people just aren’t the same as you and me. It’s understandable when they get upset with the papparazzi hounding them, taking photo’s of them in their worst or most embarrassing moments.

Sometimes however they do things for which they only have themselves to blame.

Like take naked pictures of yourself on your Iphone. Now we all know that those pictures are somehow going to find their way on to the world wide watchdog.

Which is why Blake Lively, best known for her role in Gossip Girls, is a very silly lady, person. Her publicist is of course claiming that pics are fake. Maybe they are, but given the desparate attempts of some “celebs” to keep themselves in the public eye these days, it’s becoming more and more difficult to believe they’re all faked.

Oh- you want to SEE the pictures? Well you can click below and decide for yourself whether this Blake is a fake.

NSFW obviously. (more…)
