The Most Epic Twerk Fail of All Time

Twerking is serious business. This woman just fell off a locker. Gravity thwarted this young lady’s bad attempt, and this girl’s twerking is so horrible that it resembles someone falling down a set of stairs.

Some times, twerking can get too hot to handle. This lady wants to create a sexy video for her boyfriend, and attempts the masterclass “upside down twerk”. Watch what happens next in The Most Epic Twerk Fail Of All Time.

Update: It turns out that Jimmy Kimmel was behind the little prank. The awkward twerker is not “Caitlin Heller” rather stunt woman, Daphne Avalon. Have a look at Kimmel’s director’s cut of the video below.

Another Cape Town Bush Fire!

Just a day after the Vortex fire in Wellington, Cape Town is on fire yet again. Eyewitness News Reports reports that an ambulance has crashed into wall on Ou Kaapse Weg and has resulted in a bush fire on the mountain slopes of Muizenberg.

Firefighters tried to extinguish the blaze which is near the Steenberg turnoff on Ou Kaapse Weg.

Cape Town fire services Sharon Bosch said details of the accident were unclear but the fire command centres were alerted to the bush fire.

So take care if you’re driving out past that area, and if you have a camera handy and snapped some photos, be sure to let us know.

Look! It’s The Cape Town Smiley

We’re not talking about boiling a goat’s head. It’s way too early in the morning for that. No, this is the other kind of smiley. Spotted in Cape Town by Flickr user eskom_power was this smiley face below a fire-ravaged section of Table Mountain. I’m told it is not photoshopped, someone used black bags to add the eyes and smile to a roughly-shaped circle that was left behind by the blaze. Click to see bigger.

Light my fire

Oh I love these kind of stories. As teenagers, my sister and I used to take great delight in combing magazines and newspapers (this was long before the interweb) for grotesque Agony Aunt columns and weird stories of sexual misadventure, revenge or jealousy that ended in disaster. You know the ones that go something like “woman bites off lover’s tongue in passionate embrace”, or “Dear Aunt Rhoda my girlfriend says she can’t love me anymore because I have genital warts”, that sort of thing. The whole Bobbitt episode kept us laughing for months. Well I’m not sure if I exactly love this particular story because someone actually dies, however it is morbidly fascinating nonetheless.

An Australian woman has been arrested and is going to be charged with murder after she doused her sleeping husband’s penis with something like metholated spirits and set it on fire. The unfortunate man allegedly woke up and knocked the bottle of meths over which helped the fire to spread rapidly from his privates to engulf the couple’s entire residence. As you may have guessed, Mr Crispy was cheating on his wife, and unluckily for him she found out and sought her fiery revenge. The fire starter has issued a statement saying that it was not her intention to kill her husband, all she wanted to do was claim his penis as hers only and forever by horribly disfiguring it!
