Great news for South Africans is that Ted DVD and Blu-Ray was released on the 3rd of December in South Africa. You can buy a copy via Take A Lot, Loot or Kalahari.com.
Earlier in 2012 movie audiences were introduced to Ted. The film is a story of a teddy bear who comes to life (a result of a childhood wish) and has been by his friend John’s side ever since. Their friendship is tested when Lori (John’s girlfriend of four years) wants more from their relationship.
Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane brings his boundary pushing brand of humour to the big screen for the first time as the writer, director and the voice star of Ted. The film also features Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis in the leading roles. It’s great to see a person with a great sense of humor like Seth MacFarlane getting into the movie business. He’s a comedic genius, in my opinion.
Ted was definitely one of the funniest comedies of 2012, just check this short clip below featuring the “Thunder Song” from the movie and you’ll see what I mean. Just a note: this clip contains explicit language.

First of all I loved this movie! Even made my son a birthday cake that looked like Ted but we waited till he went to bed before we watched it! If my Teddy came to life, I would learn him how to bite of Jellie Bear’s heads! Haha wouldn’t that be ironic! And sorry to admit this but I will learn him every bad word there is because I was rolling on the floor laughing when we watched Ted. It was just so hilarious to see a Teddy with a potty mouth!

Now if there’s one thing you can be sure of, it’s that nothing is more powerful than a young boy’s wish. Except an Apache helicopter. An Apache helicopter has machine guns AND missiles. It is an unbelievably impressive complement of weaponry, an absolute death machine.
