Wat om te doen met 'n lelike meisie. Mans in koshuise het altyd gesê doen dit vir jou land met ander woorde trek 'n vlag oor die meisie se kop. Of soos wat die advertensie voorstel drink totdat sy mooi word. Cheers!

VW was always known as a family car and now they are even sponsoring education. Their first venture is known as a school of fish. 

I vowed never to eat fast foad again after seeing the movie: "Super Size Me" - a documentary on McDonalds. In this Documentary a guy tries out the famous fast food place payoff line: "making everyday a McDonalds day", by only eating their food for a month - the results - Shocking

Eastrand boys as Crazy Monkey cast 

CRAZY MONKEY PRESENTS: Straight outta Benoni - from the people who have seen The Shawshank Redemption and The Fast and the Furious

Synopsis of the Crazy Monkey movie

Brendan and Gavin are lifelong friends who feel comfortable with fame and international adoration. Even though they haven't achieved it yet. They're just like any other small town guys - they enjoy playing in a band, reviewing book reviews and busting mad sickness whenever they can. They also have brand new jobs in advertising. Unfortunately their world falls apart after they lose their jobs, a day before their ten-year school reunion - a day they've dreamt about for, well, ten years. The pressure's suddenly on to achieve.

All they have to do is get their band signed to a label, get cast in an American movie, avoid being arrested by a deluded cop, entertain a rowdy kids party, produce world-class marketing ideas, outsmart their nemesis, woo a starlet, get their picture in the newspaper and beat all the odds against them... Before tomorrow. They've got twenty-four hours to achieve overnight success, and nothing can stop them... Except maybe themselves.

Background

Crazy Monkey started out as four guys made up of Trevor Clarence, Brendan Jack, Gavin Williams and Brett Goldin, having fun with a video camera, making fun of extreme culture, and has turned into an international phenomenon.
Crazy Monkey is a series of spots made for MTV as idents to go between music videos. The team behind Crazy Monkey first made them in the hope of MTV just flighting them at least once, and thus staking the South African flag on the airwaves of the world's music channel.
MTV loved them. They were soon picked up by all the MTV regions in Europe, Canada, South America, Australia and Asia.

Besides winning themselves a healthy number of international awards, the guys behind Crazy Monkey have really achieved something special in being among the first South African entertainers to have found international success.
Now the Crazy Monkey guys are embarking on an even bigger journey, teaming up with producers Ronnie Apteker and Tendeka Matatu to bring you their first feature film, "Straight Outta Benoni".

'Attachments' by Gerard Bester 

Attachments

Last night, I was blown off my feet with the dance performance 'Attachments (nos.1-6)' by Gerard Bester starring Athena Mazarakis and Craig Morris.

It's a duet that plays out the world of the evolving relationship in six stages. The show starts off with Craig and Athena living in their own appartments next to each other. They meet and we see them interact by moving spontaniously accross the stage and moving together now and again.

In the next stageshow a relationship developes from the 'Im in love' and 'physical stage' to the stage where the outside world distracts them.

In every persons life their are attachments that influence your life. These attachments can be from the TV, Computer, your Work, to your pets and children.

How these attachments influence your relationship is up to you. The show ended with the last scene being Athena dying in Craigs arms because she became to attached to drugs. As the music softly came to an end I could not help but think about all the attachments in my own life that has an influence on my everyday situations and relationships.

It's not by chance that these things are called 'attachment's because they are not part of you, they are just attached.

Final Destination

Al ooit gewonder wanneer jy gaan doodgaan? Die woord dood is nou al ook gekomersialiseer met flieks soos - "Final Destination" en "Meet Joe Black".

Die nuutse poging uit Amerika is om 'n toets saam te stel, waar jy vrae antwoord en dit dan bepaal wanneer en op watter wyse jy doodgaan.

Ek dink persoonlik dit is snert maar was nog steeds nuuskierig en het die toets gedoen. Volgens die toets gaan ek aan Kanker dood op die ouderdom van 76.
Om die toets te doen: http://www.okcupid.com/death

Dan het hulle ook nog 'n spul ander toetse soos die 'Political Test',die 'Slut Test', die 'Spot a Gay Guy Test' ens. http://www.okcupid.com/

Joke of the day

Who's going to shake things up as the new James Bond? Here's the short list: Clive Owen vs Julian McMahom. Owen became famous after his accademy award nomination for his role in 'Closer'. It's going to be a close run and I can't help but wonder who's going to sweep us off our feet. 

Avril Rocks SA!

This May, Avril is live in South Africa for three shows:
Sunday May 8th at the Coca-Cola Dome, Johannesburg
Tuesday May 10th at the Westridge Park Stadium, Durban
Friday May 13th at the Bellville Velodrome, Cape Town

Rock & roll wild child Avril Lavigne hit big in summer 2002 with her spiky-fun sound, shifting pop music into a different direction. Lavigne, who was 17 at the time, didn't seem concerned with the glamour of the pop world and such confidence allowed her star power to soar.

By her early teens, Avril's rock ambitions were clearly noticeable. She was writing songs, playing the guitar, and performing in the church choir and at county fairs. By the age of 16, having been heard and offered a deal by Arista Records, her musical dreams became a reality. Avril headed for Los Angeles and hooked up with producer/songwriter Clif Magness, who fine-tuned her melodic, edgy sound, and the result was her hit debut album, Let Go.

The album gave young women a defiant voice and set it to music they could rock to. Featuring the hit singles, Complicated, and Sk8er Boi, it sold more than fourteen million album sales and received eight Grammy nominations! With Under My Skin, Avril's second album, she was a lot more hands-on. "I knew how I wanted the drums, the guitar tones, and the structures to be.

I understand the whole process so much better this time because I've been through it. I'm really picky with my sound." Said the Canadian. She also co-wrote the dozen songs, reflecting her growth, maturity and change since her last album. "The songs on Under My Skin are definitely deeper than those on Let Go," she says, "But I still love a good pop song. I'm basically just a girl who likes to write, who likes to rock out, and who wants music to be a part of my life forever."

Heading south on her current world tour, Avril is set to take SA by storm, with her kick-ass guitars and infectious, radio-ready choruses. Get your ticket now, for a wild ride on the rock-star express!

Heat vs Cosmo

Die (ABC) Audit Bureau of Circulations het weer hulle jaarlikse syfers gepubliseer, en uitgewers reg deur die land kruis hul vingers soos wat hulle vir die uitslae wag.

In die vroue tydskrif sektor gaan daar baie naels gekou word met die meeste tydskrifte wat se sirkulasie afneem. Die probleem kan toegeskryf word aan twee dinge.

Eerstens is daar te veel vroue tydskrifte om van te kies. Vrouens het nie genoeg geld vir al die tydskrift nie en is geforseer om tussen titels te kies.

Die tweede probleem is 'n nuwe kategorie van tydskrifte wat die situasie uitbuit.
Tydskifte soos 'Heat' en 'Top Billing' veroorsaak dat vrouens al hoe minder glanstydskifte koop.
Dan kom 'heat' ook nog elke week uit. Heat se sirkulasie sit tans op 47 358, teenoor Januarie tot Junie se syfers van 44 933. Top Billing se syfers is tans 31 611.

Die lesers moet van iewers af kom. Wie weet, miskien is vrouens verveeld met die glanstydskifte .
