Danie Craven get's into the spirit of the RWC
It’s the start of the 2011 Rugby World Cup today – and celebrating in true sartorial style the Danie Craven statue at Coetzenburg in Stellenbosch has been adorned with knitted Springbok colours.
Pote vir die Bokke
Even the dog got the treatment. GO BOKKE!
It appears to be all part of the ambient Leg Warmer Love ‘yarn bombing series’ that has been popping up on the streets of Cape Town.
How to fascinate your customers…

…and other ways to psychologically affect people’s buying behaviour.
It’s slightly evil, but incredibly useful. This woman is literally the Cesar Millan of consumers.
Moer hulle Bokke!

Love this Kyknet RWC [Translation: Justlook Rugby World Cup] ad. ‘Geen Taal Sê Dit Beter Nie’.
A loose translation for our Armenian and Mexican friends:

Google is perfect

How do Google employees commute to work? The greenest way possible naturally.

Then again – Google is perfect.
9/11 Wine: Hot or Not?

Apart from the television and news networks milking it for everything it’s worth – a winery in the US has released a 9/11 memorial wine. Supposedly “6% to 10% of the sales” of each bottle go to the 9/11 memorial foundation.
Obviously not everybody is wildly excited about the idea. Anthony Bourdain expressed his feelings on Twitter by stating: Holy F*CK! What kind of piece of sh*t would create such a product?
Twitter has an ad?

We kinda thought Twitter was popular enough and sold itself. What would be the point of promoting a free service that is revenue-less? More customers are just going to cost Twitter even more in bandwidth expenses and stuff like that.
That’s probably why the ad is so crap.

This is an inspirational design story. From a potentially fatal situation comes a new idea that will save lives through it’s elegant simplicity.

The title is disturbing – the actual video even more so. The things people will do for a bit of viral internet glory.
