Dave Moffat from the Dirty Skirts just sent this in. Enjoy the wording under “i’m lovin’ it” Pure quality. Thanks for that, Dave. Follow Dave on Twitter here.
The Japanese have displayed some of the most heroic efforts in aid of fellow man during this, one of the hardest experiences they have had to endure. Now, we’re happy to bring you an animal and man story. No dog, just a small dolphin in a rice field. That needed rescuing. Brace yourselves, this is literally fantastic!
Game stores chose ‘Red Alert’ security for a reason. Probably because their security personnel are slightly more advanced than your average baton-wielding hack. They have computer skills, for example – which are useful for handling CCTV monitoring footage. Or, you know, solitaire. Note, this image was not taken inside a security ‘hokkie.’ That is, in […]

Elizabeth Taylor, one of the iconic film actresses of the 2oth century, has passed away in her California home at the age of 79. Taylor is survived by her four children (who were at her bedside in the moments prior to her death), 10 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
Now, now, before you panic, you just need to ask yourself whether you exercise regularly or not. You don’t? Well then I am sorry to inform you that you will die the next time you engage in sexual intercourse.
This will probably rate right up there with their worst ever experiences together as grandfather and grandson. It certainly wasn’t one of those happy days like you’d see on adverts or in the movies. Although, mind you, I suppose it did start out as an innocent canoe trip which was probably fun for a while.
Remember Ari Kruger, the South African film maker whose piece, Focus, was a competition finalist at the largest short film festival in the world? He is back, and this time with a series of viral video clips for cinematic folk duo Ginsburg & Herman. See them after the ad break.
Well if you don’t drown in a bath of bubbly this weekend then you are clearly doing something wrong! Seriously, you won’t believe what I just received in my inbox. Enjoy this – In celebration of The Vibe party this weekend, Boschendal are offering all 2oceansvibe readers a very rude discount on our favourtie bubbly, […]
I cannot believe how quickly this day has come. And I must say a big well done to those of you who did the right thing and bought your tickets before they sold out. There are only 90 tickets left now, so good luck to your friends who left it to the last minute. They […]
So Heritage Auctions sold a 1997 edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone for $29, 875. A book that you can remember the release of just sold at a rare books auction. You’re Old now. If you can’t remember 1997, please crawl back into the womb.
Remember Britain’s first quarter-of-a-ton teen? She had better watch her back because this three year-old boy is gunning for her title. Lu Hao weighed just 2.6kg at birth. However, from the time he was three months old he began to gain weight rapidly.
At the beginning of this month a story caught our eye that almost seemed too shocking to be true. We can now happily report back to you that the lunacy surrounding these pricey renovations has been met with trepidation by Public Works Minister Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde, and for the most part, been put on hold.
In case you were concerned that the impending marriage between Prince William and Kate Middleton wasn’t a match made in heaven, British astrologers have now CONFIRMED that they are highly compatible and could in fact be soulmates.
If you say the word ‘protest’ too frequently in a cell-phone conversation in Beijing, your call gets cut off. No spice. We have pretty strict phone etiquette policies here at 2ov, granted, but generally we allow calls, once placed, to proceed without Big Brother intervention.
At last, a way to find pornography on the internet. You guys are reading the words ‘porn’ and ‘xxx’ and getting really excited, but believe me when I tell you that this is almost 99% technology news. Pornography is sort of besides the point here, so to speak. But click through, anyway.
Employing a visual “shock factor” has long been a staple of effective television advertising. But damn this is a nice change. The Australian Office of Road Safety published this ad and it could be just as powerful a prevention as the explicitly showing blood, guts and gore on the road.
A report about a month ago attributed that South Africa indeed stared a water crisis directly in the eye. Experts told the inaugural South African Water and Energy Forum in Johannesburg that we even face the possibility of chronic water shortages as early as 2020. Now Eskom-esque tariff hikes loom too.
Don’t know if you caught The New Age‘s recent article about our new pirate tracking satellite service. It seems they believe that fashion designer extraordinaire, Karl Lagerfeld, is heading up the SA Maritime Safety Authority. Something I was unaware of. Follow the link for more.
Google has set up the first of its startup-funding offices in Cape Town, under the ‘Umbuno’ flagship. “Umbono” is isiZulu for ‘vision’ or ‘idea’. Google also showed that it knows how to make a girl feel special, saying it chose Cape Town because the city is in “the process of positioning itself as a hub for innovation and technology”.
One of the greatest pleasures Cape Town has to offer is free access to jaw-droppingly beautiful mountain walks. But please take care in the wild, kids. A tragic accident took place yesterday on a Table Mountain trail, resulting in a lethal fall for a local hiker.
On Friday we discussed what the no-fly zone over Libya meant and how it would be placed into effect by the international community. “But the UN resolution is limited in its scope. It explicitly does not provide legal authority for action to bring about Gaddafi’s removal from power by military means,” explained UK Prime Minister David Cameron.
About a week ago a video featuring an Australian victim of bullying, literally body slamming his much skinnier bully into the concrete, did the rounds on the interweb. Casey “The Punisher” Heynes received immediate hero status and has now had his say on events that led up to one of the more memorable fight backs in bullying history.
It was a matter of time before the wristwatch had its biggest redesign moment since the croc-like invasion of the big-faced bling disaster that took hold and made hipster fashion designers rich. Smart watches are on their way, but there’s one feature we’d include in ours, if we designed these things, which we don’t.
Unfortunately yes, you did read that correctly. Sam, a somewhat timid and reserved 19 year old, is standing up for what he feels is right. He has decided enough is enough and it’s time that he joined the rebel forces on the front line in the Libyan Desert.
Hear ye, hear ye! Today is Friday. You know what that means. That means that we knock off at 12h00. Do you know why we knock off at 12h00? Because we’re not lying to ourselves. “I”M NOT LYING TO MYSELF.” You shouldn’t either. No one is working productively after 12h00 on a Friday afternoon. The […]
Oh boy. The Nelson Mandela Foundation, which is apparently under some financial stress, is launching a Mandela-themed designer line, dubbed the 46664 Apparel line. Shwe-shwe material and brightly-coloured golf shirts feature prominently, because that’s what Mandela’s about.
Happy St Paddy’s Day. If you’re out and about making merry in Cape Town tonight, take a pause between sips of Guinness to have a look at the mountain. You may notice something different about it. Yip, those green-as-a-leprechaun floodlights. Table Mountain will be illuminated tonight from 8pm until midnight to mark Irish holiday St Patrick’s Day.
Described as a holy grail for South African historians, the gun Nelson Mandela buried almost 50 years ago is nowhere near being reunited with its original proprietor. The owner of the property where the gun is supposedly buried, originally part of Liliesleaf farm, is at loggerheads with museum officials representing the Liliesleaf Trust.
A grade 1 teacher from the Orchards Primary School just outside Centurion in Gauteng has been suspended by the schools governing body after pupils claim she called them k*****s. She now also faces a disciplinary hearing next week. Apparently she also called them “black monkeys”. But, has she been levelled with false accusations?
