Last Week’s 10 Biggest Posts


You wanted: the best alternatives to the iPhone 8 and Samsung Galaxy S8, TPG’s controversial NBN ad and a guide to breast play. Kick off your Monday by checking out the ten most popular posts from last week.

  1. TPG Is Literally Advertising The NBN As A Downgrade
    SHOTS FIRED? A cheeky advert for internet service provider TPG has been doing the rounds online. It certainly doesn’t paint the NBN in a positive light. In fact, it explicitly depicts the beleaguered network as a downgrade.
  2. NBN’s ‘Check My Address’ Tool Actually Works Now
    Remember NBN’s address checker tool? Despite a series of upgrades, the site never did a great job of providing an accurate answer on when you were getting connected. Now, NBN has rolled out yet another tweak to the search engine that actually makes it useful.
  3. 46 Baby Names You Can’t Use In Australia
    The Victorian government recently released a list of baby names that are prohibited under the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 1996. Apparently, there has been a spate of requests for unusual baby names over the past year, prompting the Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to launch an educational campaign for expecting parents.
  4. The Most Revealing Responses From McDonald’s ‘Our Food Your Questions’ Campaign
    For the past few years, McDonald’s Australia has been inviting customers to grill the company about its products on the Our Food Your Questions website. No question is off-limits, including whether Quarter Pounders have shrunk in size (they have) and whether McMuffins use free-range eggs (they don’t).
  5. Five Affordable Alternatives To iPhone 8 And Samsung Galaxy Note8
    If the rumour mill is correct, we could be looking at a $1500 price tag on Apple’s new iPhone when it hits stores in a few weeks. And it won’t be alone; Samsung’s new Note 8 also launches with a $1,499 RRP towards the end of the month.
  6. Here’s Village Roadshow’s Plan For Suing Pirates
    This week, Village Roadshow co-CEO Graham Burke announced the company will start suing Australians who infringe on its copyright. This means anyone who has streamed or downloaded a movie via an illegal pirate site is potentially in its cross hairs.
  7. How To Play With Breasts
    Breasts can be pleasurable to play with, for both the giver and the recipient alike. Some women can even have orgasms from breast play alone. Others need breast play in combination with clitoral or vaginal stimulation.
  8. How To Have Sex In Any Kind Of Car
    I’m going to go out on a limb and say that a safe 102% of the readers of this site are fans of both cars and a vast and disgusting variety of sexual acts. And that’s great. My stand on cars is well established (quite pro) and when it comes to sex, I can’t think of a more enjoyable way to get the maximum genetic diversity to my offspring. Plus, it gives my genitals something to do other than pee all the time, which any old stupid catheter could do, and probably better.
  9. This Anti-Piracy Scare Campaign Is Bullshit
    In August, Creative Content Australia (CCA) launched their ‘Price of Piracy’ campaign, which aims to shed light on the issue of using torrent and streaming websites to illegally access content. Specifically, it wants to highlight the inherent risk users put themselves in when accessing these sites.
  10. What Happens If Australia Is Hit By A Nuclear Bomb?
    With the recent reports that North Korea have the capability to fit a nuclear bomb in an intercontinental ballistic missile, and the tensions rising between Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump, I began to wonder about just how powerful nuclear bombs actually are. It’s hard to visualise the scale of their power, unless you can put it in terms that you actually understand.
