The most-Googled question in the world after ‘am I pregnant?’ – and finally the answer is out. Top Gear’s tame racing driver takes off his lid and shows his face to the world.

The Stig took of his helmet last night in the first episode of Season 13 of Top Gear. For so long viewers was intrigued by the true identity of the test driver for the show. Question now is if this is another publicity stunt or is the person revealed realy the real stig?

To view the identity of The Stig watch the video below.

Acourding to a study done by the Medical Research Councel of South Africa 1 in 4 men in South Africa are rapists.

Of those surveyed, 28% said they had raped a woman or girl, and 3% said they had raped a man or boy. Almost half who said they had carried out a rape admitted they had done so more than once, with 73% saying they had carried out their first assault before the age of 20.

But where I think this study fails is that it was only conducted in 2 provinces with 1 738 men. The two provinces being Eastern Cape and Kwazulu-Natal, the provinces with the highest level of HIV and disbelieves amongst certain cultures like having unprotected sex with a virgin wil cure you of HIV Aids.

How can you acuse a quarter of SA men being rapists when your study was not conducted correctly? Perhaps if the study was done in all the provinces with a much larger group of men that statement would have been correct.
