A hip looking bloke reading yesterday Those guys. You know the ones. When they’re not perched at the local cafe or bar they’re lurking in bookstores. But they’re not there to read. They’re there for the prey and the bookshop is the hunting ground. They glance over a book that acts purely as an advertisement for the demented notion they [...]

He’s all jaw, flowing Nordic hair and open-neck shirt. Yes, TV’s ‘Bondi Vet’ Dr Chris Brown’s perfect specimen image has set just as many women’s hearts pumping as it has men’s fists through TV screens. But just how wonderful is this Mr. Goodie-Fucking-Two-Shoes? For most people something about him doesn’t sit right. Jason Lee bluntly [and perhaps unfairly] summed up [...]

Do you suffer from racist bones in your body? If so Dr Kane Ludic can help.

AKTIFMAG’s recent attempt to get 7PM Project’s stories aired on Today Tonight caused unprecedented feedback. Mum said ‘What about A Current Affair?’ and Nan said she wanted to do a quiz. So to appease the crowds, I combined both of their whining to create a test to see if you can guess which show a storyline appeared on- either A [...]

If you’re going use a half-baked Home and Away actresses’ image to spruik both your TV show and a clothing brand, don’t get my mum to do the PR. That’s unless you want to sound as in touch with the ‘yoof’ as Richard Wilkins. And I don’t mean that literally. I thought I wasn’t in the loop with what’s ‘going [...]

It was a nice day in Scotland until these poor nice Aussies had their day ruined by a Canadian Street performer. This is their ‘payback’.           An evil street performer and two kind-hearted park dwellers yesterday. This year I was in Edinburgh during the Fringe Festival. For those of you that don’t know about it it’s [...]

A few of us were complaining about Dancing With The Stars all while watching Dancing With The Stars when this advert came on for scum removing wipes.

Whether it’s Collingwood stars saying they were ‘sleeping’ during shootings or the those naughty demons following Ricky Nixon while he’s getting drugged up and sexy with school kids, you need to test your excuse education quick sticks in AKTIFMAG’s world [...]

If you’ve flicked on Channel 10’s 7PM Project after work/school/uni/centrelink/jail and witnessed the stories covered the only thing to convince you you’re not watching ‘Today Tonight’ or ‘A Current Affair’ is the battalion of hip hosts/guests and their shock jock mates holding court like they’re in a wine commercial set at a pretentious dinner party. Where ‘Today Tonight’ is the [...]

OzHipHop.Com and AKTIFMAG have gotten some of Australia’s best graffiti writers and rappers to lose their accents, settle their beef,  get off the internet and come together on screen for “TAGGING LIKE A KING”.

In Australia it’s easy to pick our version of Football Hooligans, they’re either dressing up as women on ‘The Footy Show’ or assaulting them in the alleyways of nightclubs. But when you’re overseas on your Contiki tour taking in ten borders and sexual partners a day you need to know just what type you’re looking at so you can quickly [...]

I AM: on the rock and roll but do graff and shit. I AM WEARING: Some jumper I racked from Ben Sherman lol, ADIDAS Man City tracks, they’re fucking sick and I’m clutching a belt I’m about to use to smack this karnt in the teeth with. MY STYLE IS: More blocky type Dandy old school KSA shit, none of [...]

Global warming cops the blame for recent natural disasters but there’s really only one thing linking them all – the Aussie media making the most of it. Whether it’s an earthquake or a gusty breeze you can guarantee they’ll capture the ‘true blue’ story and sensationalise the heartache next to a big ticking death tally scoreboard. But can you tell [...]

Chip the bunny. A few years ago, I got a rabbit called Chip. Well technically my ex-girlfriend did, I call him mine because I raised and nurtured him from the bunny he was into the rabbit he became.
