Review: The Good Hurt

Some say that good comedy costs a good dollar. It doesn’t have to be that way though, especially in a city like Melbourne, which overflows with comedic entertainment for every taste. The Good Hurt is a prime example of how just $15 can not only get you a free beer, but also leave you laughing days after the show.

Creation Myths: Why 420?

In high school, I was always told by my weed-smoking buddies that 420 (April 20th) was the day when pot was legalized in Amsterdam, and that’s why we commemorate it every year. Was this stupid? It seemed feasible to me back then, when I nodded my head, blew out smoke and responded, “Cool, man”.

Epic Frog.

He stands intense and alert in the jungle. 

This shit ain't no game, folks. This shit is real. 

You never know what dangers lie haunt and stalk you when you're in the jungle, what perils await you, what calamities can befall you with one false step, one missed moment. 

You think the life of a frog is a joke?

You never will again after seeing this video. Behold...EPIC FROG!

How to Look Good Watching Cosmetic Makeover Television

A rapidly expanding genre of television is cosmetic or surgical makeover television (catchy title yes?). Programs such as How to Look Good Naked, You Are What You Eat, Extreme Makeover, What Not to Wear, 10 Years Younger and Morning’s with Kerri-Anne are all classic examples of  television designed to make ugly or normal people feel better about themselves. It gives participants the opportunity to be publicly berated and humiliated by stylists and fashionistas, most of whom are fully qualified experts and have the TAFE and night school diplomas to prove it.

Zombie-Proof Houses, or "My World is Now Complete"

I found my new house the other day and I didn't even know I was in the market for a new house.

But this is exactly the sort of thing that you think you're not in the market for, until one day you've put it off too long and then...Zombies. Then what?

Then you're screwed, that's what.

Fortunately I'll be saved from this terrible zombie fate thanks to the designer geniuses of KWK Promes who have the sort of foresight and ingenuity that all house designers should exhibit in this day and age. 2012 is fast approaching and if you thought the end was coming with fire, water, ice, earthquake, hurricane or plague, you're wrong. Zombies. It's going to be zombies.

Australia - The Funky Country

Australia may be  far away land to many. A distant shore where the inhabinants enjoy the sun, the surf and the sand. You may say that Australians are rightly preocuppied with the good and simple things in life, too preoccupied to pick up on the latest trends in international dance.

I SAY YOU'RE WRONG!

Check out this clip! It not only highlights Australia's supreme dancing talent but should also end once and for all end the myth that Australia is neither hip nor trendy!
