Friends, Jack Daniels and 2oceansvibe are teaming up to take Friday afternoon work hours down!

Best of all, we will take care of […]
How many of you caught the story, posted earlier in the day, about a Cape Town advocate who swore at a Cape Town High Court judge, and stormed out of the court room? Look, in no way do we condone his behaviour. Insulting references to another man’s female relatives, most especially The Mother, should never […]
The Tanzanian “miracle” pastor, Reverend Ambilikile “Babu” Mwasapile has called for a break. He has temporarily asked people to stop going to his remote home for a “miracle cure” after thousands flocked there, resulting in chaos in the surrounding area.
Ron Jeremy markets a rum brand called Ron Jeremy. If you know who Ron Jeremy is, accept that you’re sort of curious and click through to know more; if you don’t, please believe me when I say it’s better to be ignorant about this kind of thing.
Some time ago Top Gear aired a show in which the Tesla Roadster electric car was put through it’s paces. It ran out of electricity, and then had to be pushed back into the garage. Tesla said the test was rigged, and they plan on getting even.
Always picking up on the nation’s mood, the best in the business have been at it again. There isn’t really much need in beating around the bush with this one. The bushes, quite frankly, aren’t there to be beaten around any more. They have withered and dried.
Yesterday a little blue bird forwarded us a juicy document. That document is the full transcript of proceedings in a criminal case currently being argued in the Cape Town High Court. The transcript details an altercation between Judge Lee Bozalek and Advocate Nehemiah Ballem. And by “altercation” I mean a verbal smackdown. Enjoy this portion of the exchange.
The new platform, which is still currently in its design phases, will allow users to create the perfect girlfriend who will allegedly write on your Facebook wall, possibly tweet sweet nothings at you and keep your virtual happiness in mind using other social media platforms.
Many a talk show will tell you that kids are growing up too fast these days, with little girls dressing “sexy”, and “Brat” dolls that might be borderline inappropriate for children. But the latest offering from clothing manufacturer Abercrombie and Fitch takes this creepy trend to a whole new level.
This doesn’t happen very often, but it is happening today. We need you to help Craig find his beloved parrot. Check out the missing flier. Craig says: He flew out the front door yesterday, and shit dude, I just gotta find him. My lady is not taking it too well cause he’s basically family. He’s […]
Jacob Barnett has an IQ of 170. According to some, this is reportedly higher than Albert Einstein’s was, although Einstein himself never took the test. Jake is now so far advanced in his Indiana University studies that professors are lining him up for a paid PHD research role. He also finished high school at eight years old.
MTV Germany, which is a thing I didn’t know existed until just now, is trying to spread the word to the masses: there is no such thing as accidental sex, please wear condoms. To emphasize the point, they’ve put together a series of comics in which people accidentally have sex and don’t wear condoms.
We’ve been contacted by a number of you who cannot get hold of a Cape Times and wish to read the open letter that we published today. No problem – here it is. Time to grow up a bit people. You shouldn’t be treated like a child. You’re better than that.
Not even designers of world class video games have thought of this one yet. I bet the Qatari engineers are hunched up and sniggering through their beards into their cupped, fist-shaped hands right now. Their World Cup is only in 2022, but these guys clearly have the money to blow to make magic. Very Bruce Almighty of them.
I think I speak for everyone when I say THAT was a party second to none! My God! Thank you to everyone who came and conquered The Grand Cafe & Beach this Saturday! There is a saying I made up many years ago which goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words” – and I […]

This looks to be pretty rad – a look at the the lives of four photojournalists working in South African townships between 1990 and 1994, based on the book of the same name written by two of the original group. Unfortunate accents aside, the cast and crew are looking pretty rad. Checkit.
This the long-awaited preview to the upcoming Ayrton Senna movie, which looks to be the greatest film of all time about the greatest driver of all time. The last time I cried in a movie was when MaCauley Culkin died in My Girl, but I’m fully expecting tears of raw man-emotion to roll during this one. Video after the jump.
There were even rumours of a planned party in Cape Town at one stage, but it appears nothing more than a low key gig went down for Wills this weekend. It has emerged that his stag do took place at home on Mud Island too, reportedly on a friend’s estate in Norfolk.
The government is going to be launching its own printed propagand… err newspaper, and it will be published by the head of government communications, Jimmy Manyi. Yes, Jimmy who doesn’t like coloured people that much. Basically we shouldn’t get our hopes up and expect much investigative journalism.
Yep, that’s right. We’re not screwing around. You don’t perchance recall this little announcement made earlier in the day?

Borre Erstad and Paul Age Olsen from Bergen in Norway waited patiently for the search engine’s car after receiving a tip off that the drivers were in the area.

The mankini-clad cyclist who sent South Africa’s cycling community into a heady froth over his BMX and lumo green couture has been identified. But there is so much more to this story than the superficial…
Hey, you guys know that photo, right? The one with the tennis-playing girl lifting up the back of her skirt in a way that’s sort of sexy but also obliviously enough for people to call it art, rather than sexy-tennis-photography? It’s by Martin Elliot, who died recently, so the model’s decided to let us know who she is.

Forex trading is a way to earn money. Enough money to live the holiday, ergo, not work. Get out of the office, okay? Which is of course desirable because (I needn’t necessarily tell you) you’ll have both the times and the means to do whatever you want. What kind of things might you like to […]
Government has decided that we need a new nickname for our national soccer team. The affectionate monicker Bafana Bafana was a nice idea at the time, says Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula, but now we need ‘lions that will roar’.
You’ll have seen from the numerous banners on the site that we’ve embarked on a campaign here at 2oceansvibe to liberate the people of Cape Town from the tyranny of Friday afternoon work hours. A critical development has arisen, ladies and gentlemen, and we invite you all to read on.
