Poor Herman, the guy just doesn’t seem to catch a break! In the third and final clip in the series of viral videos for the band, they visit a park. With lots of dogs. See what happens to Herman inside.
Well this is probably just the cherry on the big ol’ authoritarian cake they got going on over there, but hot damn. All the best movies had time travel in them. Never mind the fact that now a generation of Chinese kids won’t spend every waking moment waiting for their future selves to arrive in a DeLorean.
If you’ve ever made your way to Mzoli’s in Gug’s, or even just to the Mzoli’s Butchery to pick up your whopping large lamb chops, you’ll be aware that this has the potential to be one hell of a vibe. Instead of washing down a tasting with a boring biscuit, we’ll probably be snacking on a piece of wors.
We can all guess what the official fruit of New York State is, can’t we? That’s right – the apple. Official drink of the New Yawkers? Milk. But now the race is on to name the official state vegetable. And the lawmakers are making a meal of it.
I’m going to jump straight into this because everyone I have told has begged me for the name of these guys – so there is no need to sugarcoat it – This shit sells itself. Their name is PrintWild.co.za and this is how their website works. It’s basically a joke. In a good way. It […]
Midway into March Silverstreak reminded us of one of the beautiful things about the English language – the numerous emotive properties created by combining words not often combined, especially so in central African news reports. Now, a Malawian man has been killed by too much “sexual sweetness” while having sex with a hooker.
The British newspaper, The Daily Mirror, that all too reliable and chock-full of journalistic integrity source, has claimed that Top Gear host, Jeremy Clarkson, is cheating on his wife with a colleague.
In a much anticipated move, the social media giant has finally unveiled its next step in advancing the power of journalism through social networking. It’s described as a central resource tool for journalists and the public to share, interact and find sources on the site. Try and stop us now Julius, Jimmy, Floyd and the other haters out there.
Wow! Okay. Last week we told you about the ‘Get An Eckō Tattoo, Get A 20% Discount For Life’ they’re peddling, with a couple of metaphorical raised eyebrows. So they sent us a couple of photos of fans that had gotten themselves branded with their logo – bluff called. Amazing.
How often do you forget where you parked your car in a packed parking lot? It’s one of the annoying little ‘jokes’ that life loves to play on us. And it makes you look really lame on a first date when you can’t find your wheels after dinner and a movie. An Australian schoolboy has developed an app to help you.
In the never-ending battle for fast-food supremacy in South Africa, it is interesting to note what fast-food fast-food staff eat when they want fast-food! Ow, shaiya the colonel!
As part of an advertising campaign for toy car line Hot Wheels, a facade loop was installed alongside a highway in Bogotá, Colombia, mimicking the loop tracks that you’re always a little crushed to discover woulnd’t work in real life. It looks pretty rad. Nice job, Hot Wheels. Nice job, Colombia.
A US Lambo owner spun his pride and joy into the curb [we’ve got the video] and blames his ropey shoes. Sure buddy, you’ve got a supercar or two but can’t afford a new pair of GrassHoppers. Bugatti greenlights their next car, which will have four doors and a poncy name, and Jeremy Clarkson’s home is attacked by militant dog-walkers.
It seems it’s all the rage to voice ones displeasure with how one finds things are going in court these days. Instead of it being an advocate this time, it’s a 71 year old “Brett Kebble-type character” from the Strand near Cape Town facing fraud charges. He had recently celebrated his 71st in Pollsmoor too.
No Vibe party is complete without the final video going live. And here it is, courtesy of the clever boys and girls at iKraal! Nothing can quite sum up the mix of decadence, glamour and mayhem – but this comes pretty close! Check it out by pressing play below..
It’s safe to say that tests are still in their early stages but it’s also safe to say that scientists are quite a bit closer to helping people overcome their fear of heights. They have discovered that by giving people a tablet of the stress hormone cortisol, they can help reduce their phobia.
Lamborghini has introduced designs for the Aventador LP-700, successor to the Murcielago; it is a sexy car from a sexy company, so it is more or less fitting that the designs are pretty sexy-looking too. It’s named for a bull from a 1993 bull-fight, which makes this ethically iffy, but hey. Look for sexy images after the cut.
“It’s called summer flu,” my friend said. I’d never heard of it. Summer flu? Sounded serious. Dangerous, even. My lower lip quivered. “It’s like normal flu, only it happens in the summer when it’s hot so it seems much, much worse,” my friend said. Oh. So I wasn’t dying after all. I must remember to put my doctor on speed dial, though. You can’t be too careful with this sort of thing.
South African cricket skipper Graeme Smith has allegedly proposed to his Irish girlfriend, Morgan Deane, over the weekend. Deane, a vocalist for Irish band Industry, visited Smith in Delhi during the Proteas’ ICC Cricket World Cup campaign last month.
It seems this is a common problem that the US Naval Academy faces. Another midshipman was expelled from the force for using or having a banned weed-like substance known as “spice”. No spice. This brings the total number of expulsions to 12.
We all watched that television series Full House when we were younger. We all loved it and it was one of the funniest and happiest times of our young television lives. The twins were, well, adorable and made us laugh out loud quite regularly, but they might need to explain this one.
A lot of people have been asking about the amazing fire dancers and stilt-walkers from The Vibe party so I thought I would stop the mayhem by letting you get in touch with them directly. And with this kind of vibe, you can’t blame people for having their interest piqued. They graced us with fire […]
Two vegans who fed their 11 month old daughter only on her mother’s breast milk went on trial in northern France on Tuesday. They have been charged with neglect after their baby died as a result of suffering from vitamin deficiencies and could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
Would you pay 55k to look like this 21 year-old girl to my left? She actually had cosmetic surgery in order to physically make her look like a drag queen. She now calls herself Collagen Westwood. I feel an EPIC FAIL coming on.
This sounds sort of like every dystopian sci-fi film ever, but okay. If, for whatever reason, you felt like you needed 20% off of Eckō-brand apparel for life, you could totally make that happen by getting an Eckō tattoo somewhere on your body. It’s a coupon that never expires!
As with any glamourous event, The Vibe party has a prize for the best dressed couple – The Boschendal Best Dressed Award.

BEST DRESSED COUPLE AWARD The competition was […]
Jerry Seinfeld has over 40 Porsches. Ralph Lauren has a taste for vintage. Jay Leno had a car built with a helicopter turbine engine. I’m fascinated by car collections because it’s pretty much exactly what I’m going to spend my money on when I make my billions. After all, you can’t take Penelope Cruz’s sister on a date in a rare Picasso.
A report in The Star newspaper has revealed how a Teacher has had to resign because he was caught puffing on the old knowledge cabbage with a pupil. It’s no big secret that South African schools have had problems with drug use over the years, but this is an upper class school, so it was probably good stuff.
