Boy Wears 215 Pairs of Underwear

What did you do for your 10th birthday? Presumably something so rubbish you don’t remember. Well this kid ain’t going to forget his 10th birthday in a hurry. The family from New York (only in America) decided to spend his Birthday trying to break a world record, with underwear.

Yes this boys parents decided that this small, child was ready to get his name in the record book, for wearing the most pairs of underwear at one time. The Previous record stood at 200. This was not going to be easy. In fact if you watch the video below it actually begins to look cruel towards the end, as the weight becomes too strong for him to stand.

But like a true record breaker he battles through, to make a memorable birthday with a crowing achievement of achieving a new world record for most pairs of underpants wore by a person now standing at 215. What a career this boy has ahead for him.

Labour Spent £134k on Sofas

Yes. This is why I did not vote Labour (no I didn’t vote conservative either). Hideous, mind numbingly stupid spending! At a time when the entire country, well the entire world actually, was feeling the wrath of a global economic crisis, a Government department bought 28 sofas at a price of £4,120 each.

designer red sofas

The shocking-red “Alcove Highback” sofas, by Parisian designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, were ordered for the department’s central London headquarters at a total cost of £134,503. The revelation is part of a new investigation into Whitehall spending by the new Coalition Government, which found that Labour ministers authorised the purchase.

The sofas were aimed to create a “peaceful oasis” in the workplace, part of an efficiency initiative called “SpaceFlex” to make the department “more practical” and save money. Are you ******* kidding me?!? How stupid are you? Look I understand that you need furniture in the workplace. I understand that you want to create a nice workplace with some nice sofas even. But you are insane if you think that justifies spending over £4,000 per sofa! Especially when you are buying 28!! What decent retailer wouldn’t do you a good deal on 28 sofas?

We can’t afford nice things because you can’t run the country properly! So if you think you can take our money so you get nice things when you are not even doing a good job, you sirs are are the worst kind of ignorant! How can you ever justify spending tax payers money on 4 grand sofas? You can’t. End of. Jog on!

Car Hire Boss Jailed in Scam

It’s not uncommon to hear about royalty in the developing world trying to scam you with money. Well obviously not the actual royal family but usually some guy that found a computer trying to convince you that he is a Nigerian prince that simply wants to share his millions with you, requesting your bank details to do so.

But it is a scam not usually taken up by those who are already rich. The Boss of a prestige car hire company has been caught pretending to be part of the Kuwaiti royal family in an effort to scam more than half a million pounds from unsuspecting victims.

Bugatti Veyron

Koroush Pour is not a poor man. He hired his Bugatti Veyron, a Million pound super-car, to the BBC to make some of the most memorable episodes of Top Gear. He has been caught using his car hire firm Swift Hire to steal credit using his customers personal details and sold cars which still had hundreds of thousands of pounds in outstanding finance.

To top it off, he scammed two retired nurses out of their pension funds of over £120,000. He abused their plans to retire in Spain, claiming he could get them a better exchange rate threw his car hire company.

The judge told Pour: “You have not only probably brought shame on your self and your family, but you reduced your own circumstances to one where you are quite unable to live the lavish lifestyle I’m told you were living.” He was sentenced to two years in jail.

BP Oil Spill Goes Viral, Finally

Well it’s been a long 50 days since a horrible event occurred in the gulf of Mexico destroying an oil rig and taking the lives of some that worked there. Since then news of the resulting oil leak filling the area with toxic diesel fuel has dominated the airwaves both in the US and abroad.

But there has been very little on the the viral side emerging on the web. That is, until now. Here are 2 gems. The first is pretty ridiculous. Ridiculous in the fact that it is a true story, just replace the coffee with toxic oil.

The second comes from the makers of Autotune the news. Turns out Obama is out to kick some ass.

2010 World Cup Begins

Yes people, the wait it over. The 2010 Fifa World Cup in South Africa is officially under way, and in 10 minutes 11 men will step out onto the pitch at the wonderful Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg with the hopes and dreams of an entire continent behind them.

It is the first World Cup ever to take place on the African Continent. Don’t underestimate the importance this holds for the African people. It is truly a great day in their history and ours. 7 African teams have made it into the tournament, all in separate groups, so they have a strong chance of an African team making it to the quarters or even semi finals.

There is no clear favourite for the competition this year, but there is a strong feeling here in England that this is our year. It is perhaps the best squad we have had since the Lineker era in the 80’s. I do think we have a real chance this year. We have a strong midfield and defence, but perhaps all our eggs lie in one Wayne Rooney shaped basket up front. The two Spurs front two of Crouch and Defoe would really have to step up to match the likes of Eto, Messi and the mighty Torres. With hopes higher than ever before, the boys in white and red will race a tough reception after their flight to the UK if they do not making to at least the Semi Finals.

I think it will be a fight between Spain, Argentina, England and Brazil for the title, it does not look likely that an African Nation can win the world cup. But at the end of the day, they are already winners for finally bringing the World Cup to the Continent. Men of England, it’s time to write the future.

Shutterbug – Big Boi

Every now and then, a song comes along that from that within seconds of the first listen, you know is going to be huge. Remember the first time you heard “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley and “I gotta feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas. Well get ready to remember the first time you heard “Shutterbug” by Big Boi.

Half of Rap Legends Outkast, you would be forgiven for thinking that Big Boi was lesser than his partner Andre 3000. Perhaps not anymore. Shutterbug is Sick! It’s Huge! The production is immense. It sounds fresh and unlike anything I have heard for years. Mad Props!

Here is Shuttebug by Big Boi:
