The net has been abuzz lately with the news that mega-babeMegan Fox will not be included in the cast for the upcoming Transformers 3 movie by Michael Bay.
While this may come as shock to many of you out there, the actual reason for the cast omission is rooted in a bitter feud between Fox and Bay. She says she left of her of volition, but Bay is saying he canned her ass!
So now we have a new leading lady to step in to fill this void. Who is possible of such a feat?
Well, the powers that be believe that the girl for the job is a lingerie model named Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Yes that right boys and girls, she isn’t even a seasoned actor, she poses in her knickers for a living!
Supposedly this girl has appeared on Britain’s Next Top Model and has been seen in episodes of Victoria Secret Fashion Show. About her only other claim to fame is that she was being dated by Jason Statham of the shocking Transported franchise.
With the imminent first kickoff for the World Cup 2010 commencing on Friday, the football fever that I spoke of yesterday has begun to really reach new heights here in Cape Town.
There is a sea of green and yellow South African football jerseys flowing through the streets, as well as a great many ripples of foreign team supporters.
The final touches are being tweaked and double checked. The flags are flying and the football posters are all over the place. It’s amazing what can be achieved in less than a month.
So far I have, as yet, not seen many pictures of Durban’s advertising/marketing efforts. I have seen Jozies and Cape Town for myself however. As far as I’m concerned Cape Town is leading the pack and is the most capable to receive our overseas visitors. Although I have no doubt that Joburg will step it up before game time!
Football mania is sweeping the nation as the final countdown looms for the BIGkickoff.
The air is electric with anticipation and the multitudes of various tourists from all across the globe can be felt everywhere.
It’s fantastic to see so many people out wearing their football jerseys, even though it’s not “Football Friday”. I don’t have a football jersey myself, but I feel compelled to wear lots of yellow and green. GO Bafana!!!!
I’m ashamed to admit that up until recently I was one of those people who resisted the pull of the football mania. It is the commercial suck that I sought to thwart. It makes my hair stand on end when company after company use the World Cup as an advertising tool. Well, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. These companies will do it anyway, even if they come across as completely fake. Dude I’ve even seen some can company advertising their stuff with a dancing crowd all holding their cans with lil SA flags on them. Can you say CHEAP!
Luckily for me over sensitive advertisingfilter has backed down a little and has allowed me to open up my heart to the whole World Cup affair! The football mania has got me excited for the games themselves. All the openingceremony and concert stuff I’m not especially interested in. However I just can’t wait for the first whistle and the football assault. Boys and girls, these are the best football players on Earth….to have them all on SA soil, all at the same time is something truly special.
Now, I have seen plenty of strange product names in my time.
Many of you would have seen them in funny emails over the years. I’ve bust my gut at gems such at Shitto’scanned spiced peppers, at BumBumice cream and even a cock flavoured soup mix.
Yep, there are some seriously funny product names out there that just have to make you sit back and shake your head in delighted dismay.
However, then you get well known brands that name their products completely arbitrary names.
One particular example that made me raise an eyebrow is a Defy Slim Line oven, which is simply called Six Hundred.
Ok, so this is nowhere near as funny as BumBum ice cream, but is particularly funny on an absolutely arbitrary angle. So I consider this a “strange product name”. I mean you could call your oven absolutely anything, the Baker 9000, the Mega Roaster Supreme….hell, even Hades Crimator-max would be more exciting, or even make more sense than Six Hundred.
