Fail Article of the Week: OBAMA IS DEAD!

Posted by Wilson in ...ofthemonth, Fail, funny, news, pwnd on May 3, 2011

This just in: According to the Fiji Times today (3/5/11) the most powerful man in the world today, the first black american to be elected President of the United States of America, Barrack Obama, is DEAD.

Oh wait. It’s just a typo. In a national newspaper. Fox News Style.

In the mass media frenzy that was Osama Bin Laden’s death, someone fell asleep at the keyboard. Heads will most certainly roll with this one.

Photo of the Month: Can I please see your FailTicket?

Posted by Wilson in ...ofthemonth, pic, pwnd, sports, student on May 2, 2010

Alternate universes exist. These universes exist independent of each other, the people in them merrily carrying on with their own little lives, unbeknown to them the reality of another version of themselves is alive, just outside their realm of reality. Science has always scoffed at the idea that there is more then one version of Mr Jone and his reality, but at last, we have real irrevocable proof that out there, hidden from all our senses and technology, is another universe, very similar to ours, in close sync with us, mirroring our lives with intimate accuracy, save for a few scant details that differ on a minute basis. This ticket…is from the other side. In the alternate universe, they are having the very same event, the Coca-cola Games. Their ticket is the exact same copy as ours, right down to the venue. However, the only (major) difference between their ticket and ours is this; their month of April has 31 days in it. That’s right folks, an extra day for the alternates. Isn’t it just amazing.

That…or it could be a simple typo. A rather expensively simple typo.

I think I’ll lay off the Fringe episodes for abit.

Thanks Gurumi!

Lol Photo(s) of the Month – Vehicle Pwnage

Posted by Wilson in ...ofthemonth, advertising, competition, Digicel, funny, pwnd, Vodafone on July 20, 2009

Begun, the Mobile Phone Wars has. At least the road warrior part of it.

For those who came in late, the two vehicles shown in the photos below belong to Fiji’s two mobile phone operators, Digicel and Vodafone Fiji. Judging from the angles at which both vehicles sustained damage (CSI training tiko vei iko saraga), the Vodafone truck had all the fun of owning the Digicel car. As to who exactly who’s fault this is – we can only imagine.

For the meantime, enjoy the photos and bask in the knowledge that this price war is only starting to heat up.

Shiny policeman is shiny.

The front right tire looks slighty sad

Sacre Bleu! Fiji Bati Pwns the French!

Posted by Wilson in games, pwnd, rugby on November 2, 2008

Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle’s left…leg.

There’s bad news, and then there’s good news, of which the later variety comes in several incarnations.

There’s good news where a family member gets married (huray! little nephew/niece tykes!) and the whole family, extended and all gets to join in the ensuring celebration.

Then there’s great news, like you getting the promotion, allowing you access to that car you’ve always mourned at in the display window.

Then, there’s news that is so awesomely awesome, that you’ll be naming your kids after the fateful day just so that the event will be remembered down the dark, musty halls of time.

Yes. In the world of the Rugby League World Cup, the Vodafone Fiji Bati, in their first pool match, has taken the French Team and rubbed their faces in the pitch, seven times over. An epic score of 42 to 6 has made the 500-1 Fiji team now hot favourites.

Seven tries people. Seven awe inspiring, heart warming, this-aint-over-the-best-is-yet-to-come, grog swirling, patriotic pride inducing tries. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought that such a hugh scoreline would have belonged to a sevens match between say Hong Kong andMalaysia. Scores with that big a margin don’t translate well to a supposed 1st rate rugby country such as the French Roosters. If anything, 6 points to the French means that they were forever stuck on the back foot. The french coach John Monie was right. “They had too much enthusiasm.”

For those of you who missed the game (me included, blame halloween), fear not,for thanks to the power of the Internet, a few of the tries are available on Youtube, and thus, here! Big vinaka to rugsta15 for uploading the videos and sharing the love. All thats left now is for the torrent of the full game to be made available.

Fiji – 16 France – 6

Akuila Uate’s 1st Try

Commentor note: “Anymore of this and they’ll buy him an island!”

Fiji – 22 France – 6

Akuila Uate’s 2nd Try

Commentor note: “YOOUWAATEE!!!“

Fiji – 30 France – 6

Semisi Tora’s (Commentors were refering to him as ‘Tori’) Try

Commentor note: “The celebrations will be emotional once if they cross the line – AND THEY DOOO!!!!” Gotta love the timing in that one.

Fiji – 36 France – 6

Jaryyd Hayne’s Try

Commentor note: “Get out the bowls, get out the kava, its going to be one hell of a party!“ Lol ^_^

Fiji – 42 France – 6

Akuila Uate’s 3rd Try

Commentor note: “42 points to 6! What? Who would have thought?!” Fuck yeah, you’d better recognise

Points worth pointing out:

1) Akuila Uate is the next ‘insert-great-rugby-icon-from-fiji’ player. That guy gets rugby team scouts all hot and wet.

2) I’m not going to miss the next game against Scotland this upcoming Wednesday. And if you count yourself as a true rugby patriot, you wouldn’t too. Not for all the cheap barrel nights in the world. Or beer katis.

3) Vodafone Fiji is going to be so happy. Queue another media blitz about who exactly is sponsoring that winning team. The sevens team now have extra pressure to perform from their Digicel sponsors in order to look just as good.

4) I’m just so god-darned proud to be Fijian right now that it hurts ^_^

To keep that patriotic fever pitch going, here’s a great song written by Igelese Ete for the Fiji Bati and performed by the ever amazing Talei Burns with the Pacific Voices choir.
