Old Spice Guy Voicemail Generator

If you have not yet seen the awesome  “Look at your man” Old Spice advertising campaign, you’re certainly missing out. This has got to be some of the most appealing advertising I’ve ever seen. And that’s definitely not because it features a half-naked man. Each video just has the right dosage of humour and “wow” to snag your full attention. Some bloggers even managed to get the personal treatment from Old Spice, which shows Old Spice have their head in exactly the right place.

But it gets better, through some editing from the video below you can now get your own custom Old Spice Guy voicemail at http://oldspicevoicemail.com. There’s a version for the guys too, which means this might actually tempt me into actually activating my voicemail.

Prima Donna Soccer

So you’ve manged to score an overpriced ticket for the game. You’ve found your way to the stadium, bought your ridiculously overpriced beer and found your seat far back at the top of the stands. The game begins, and within minutes, even from a point as far away from him as you can possibly get, you see a guy who is paid more than you’ll ever earn in your entire life plainly and deliberately acting up a foul instead of just playing soccer? That’s not cool. Ever.

I say harden the fuck up, pussy boys. TIA, Africa is not for sissies. It’s time to remove the mistaken decisions, introduce some TV-refereeing and penalize those players who try to cheat.

If a team filled with prima donnas get through to the final I will be well upset.

Nice one, Google.
Oh, and Bafana supporters, don’t forget to tweet with tag #WhenBafanaWins to get onto the When Bafana Wins microsite.

Google Street View South Africa Launch on 8 June

According to news site MyBroadband, Google has now announced that it will launch Street View Imagery in South Africa on Tuesday, 8th of June 2010, in time for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

A quick glance at maps.google.com show’s they’ve already uploaded some higher-res imagery of parts of SA. Presumably we can expect views of the World Cup stadiums, possibly inside and out, as well as a trip through the Kruger National Park and perhaps one or two other exciting highlights.

More details about the service will be revealed at a media event on 8 June.

The Electric Motorcycle Future

Here’s a short clip from the TTXGP series currently running in North America. While it is probably just as fast and dangerous and even as exciting as any normal motorbike racing, the sound sure leaves something to be desired…
