Drunk Monkeys
September 2, 2010Baboons. Whatever. South Africa, home to one of the highest crime rates in the world, is facing another security fail - baboons who drink like schoolies then act like jerks and break stuff...like schoolies. The large non-homonid members of the primate order have been attacking Cape Town's oldest vineyards and homes in the wine country with some crybaby owners putting their property up for sale claiming the situation is "so out of control". Come on! Name anything more hilarious or adorable than a drunk Baboon!

This is Adam ‘Vaughan’ Blakey
September 1, 2010Adam Vaughn Blakey Editor of Surfing World, began his journey into the publishing world with a poem he wrote as a 14 year old. The poem was published in Tracks and he was consequently beaten by kids in his senior year for doing so. It’s taken less than that to sullen the aspirations of many writers. But for Blakey, self-declared 'muse of lunacy' for denim brand Tsubi Jenas, it’s was the beating every crab gets if it wants out of the bucket. Blakey, Vaughn Dead, Adam, Cyanide Phinx - depending on who you are or what publication you are reading. Has had a hand in pretty much everything you’ve read regarding surfing and youth lifestyle since the 90's. Vaughn now lives in Narrabeen, father to the happiest children you’re likely to meet and probably one of the nicest guys you're likely to meet. This is Adam ‘Vaughan’ Blakey.

MUFF IS AN ANAGRAM FOR A FILM FESTIVAL- DOODLE IS NOT
August 25, 2010If your not into the highbrow, art house content of MIFF (Melbourne International Film Festival) then you might be more inclined get down with MUFF (Melbourne Underground Film Festival). I’d excuse the obvious innuendo but I doubt the festival director Richard Wolsencroft or his demographic would be offended. ‘Melbourne Underground Film Festival eleven years of supporting independent genre film making in Australia. It’s aggressive, transgressive, cutting edge, hip oh and fucking out there, baby’ - Richard Wollstonecraft (Festival Director)

Bret Easton Eillis does chap laps
August 16, 2010It’s no wonder Bret Easton Ellis seems so fucked up. If the insight into his world during his book tour in Melbourne is any guide, then it’s not surprising that he populates his books with narcissistic sociopaths.
