Today is an important day because it’s the day our President gives his state of the nation address. It should be an interesting one and I heard there may even be autographed heaven cards for sale afterwards. It’s therefore important to highlight some issues our Jozi brethren currently face and ask whether they are getting a fair deal.
Huh. Well, alright. UK church officials have given the holy thumbs up to ‘Confession: A Roman Catholic App,’ which walks users through sacrament, having them admit their wrongdoings – and keep track of their sins. Please keep your comments until the end of the lecture, though, because this baby costs $1.99
To say it was an honour to have world-renowned pop artist, Imogen Heap in the studio for an interview on the morning of her first gig in Cape Town, would be an understatement. Imogen was a fantastic guest; intelligent, insightful, and quirky. 2oceansvibe Radio were the official media partners for Imogen’s Cape leg of her […]
In a bizarre story a young woman has died hours after undergoing a cosmetic procedure to enhance her bums appearance. This is the first time the procedure has come to my attention but apparently bumplants are nothing new in the world of very very good looking (Zoolander voice) people.
Well this is pretty awesome. Researchers at OkCupid waded through 776 million matches of questions and answers between would-be-couples, and matched those against relationships success rates – and come up with some bizarre, awesome data. Apparently beer drinkers put out more.

I don’t know if they are taking the piss or not in this video. I got sent it by 2oceansviber Emily B and she got it from the Jack & Jil Blog (overseas equivalent of PopYaCollar). So anyway the video – it’s basically a bunch of male models giving it a full rev. You know […]
A valiant effort was made late last Wednesday by two daring would-be Mexican immigrants. The two, suited up in full wetsuits, made an assault on Imperial Beach, just a few kilometres south of San Diego with the aid of dive scooters. Until a US Customs and Border Protection helicopter crew spotted them.
In a great example of irony, two McDonald’s executives have decided to throw the concept of fast food on its head and launch a chain of healthy restaurants. However, more ironic is the name that has been given to the chain: Lyfe. You are not going to believe this.
That special day is around the corner and we all want to be unique when it comes to telling our partners we love them. And even though teddy bears with hearts for stomachs were last cool in 1996, at least it won’t ruin your girlfriend’s day like this gesture. Hint: Trying to attach a banner to a bridge across a freeway is a stupid idea.
If you haven’t heard of the Good Work Gig then you’re in for a treat. The GWG will be hosted by the Grand Cafe on Camps Bay beach, and is in aid of The Good Work Foundation. Keeping in spirit with its name, the Good Work Foundation is a charity dedicated to helping the young […]
Beer. Nectar of the Gods. Liquid Grace was crafted for humankind to take the edge off any week. We all know that, but just how strong do ‘they’ make it? Well it turns out that the World’s Strongest Beer went on sale yesterday and the name will bring a wry smile to one member of the Sharks squad.
“And you can tell everybody, he is your boyfriend.” See what I did there? Kids today can’t actually remember a time when Elton John still pretended to be straight. But times have changed, and this list of the Top 50 Gay Male Musicians includes members of Vampire Weekend, Bloc Party, and Sigur Rós.
2oceansvibe has a multitude of suppliers for every conceivable service and product. Now while the list certainly is extensive, I didn’t really ever need a Cape Town electrician. And boy have I been messed around! FINALLY, I have found someone I want you to know about – so you don’t have to go through the […]
Rafael Nadal and Kevin Spacey have a knock at the Laureus World Sport Awards Nadal Wins Top Honours At Laureus Awards – The Spanish armada triumphed at the Laureus World Sports Awards last night, with tennis superstar Rafael Nadal leading the charge. As some consolation for his quarter-final exit from the Australian Open, Nadal was named […]
It seems Mango cannot get enough of Scarlett Johansson and have kept her on for the 2011 Spring collection. She has been their spokesperson since 2009 and nothing looks set to change anytime soon. The collection is called Modernist Resort. Check it out after the jump.
Look, there’s no doubt that a fine dining experience can be a memorable occasion. But there comes a time in a man’s working week, and sometime’s in a woman’s, even, when a sinking realisation settles in the pit of your stomach. We’re talking about the need to have a “chow” and where you can get one with a draught beer for under fifty bucks.
Feeling bad about buying, say, “Ass” products for example, and the related ethical practices involved in their manufacture? Well, you no longer need to worry my friends, because as usual, there is now an app available to clear up any confusion you may have had prior to deciding on your now, ethical purchase.
The Malawian government has had enough of people farting wherever they want. Malawian lawmakers will next week debate a law change that will make letting one rip in public a criminal offence. They’re not trying to be funny – they just want people to fart in toilets. They’ll get around to delivering those toilets when they’ve sorted out the farting.
Ha. Some kid called Jack Weppler broke up with his girlfriend, so she put a truckload of embarassing Lolcat-style photos of him online – and tweaked it so that they’d all show up if somebody tried to Google him. So hey, that’s something new to worry about.
It is not known what sparked off this very-public in-store mockery, but Pick n Pay has clearly got something against Tiger Brands and, in particular ‘Enterprise’ – their meat products range. Apparently Pick n Pay reckons that Enterprise Renown “Spreads Ass.” We caught up with Enterprise Foods’ Marketing Executive, Sonja Botha, for comment. Click link […]
Awesome: The Vietnamese recently celebrated a lunar New Year. Not so awesome: The power went out. Awesome: Some friends improvised by pulling an actual car into the house and letting it run in order to jam some tunes. Not so awesome: No one thought to open a window.
The British may have invented the missionary position but boy do they deserve credit for the latest kinky curio to celebrate their Royals. Self proclaimed leading supplier of heritage prophylactics, Crown Jewels Condoms Of Distinction, produced and already sold 1 000 purple boxes of condoms featuring a picture of Prince William staring lovingly into Kate’s eyes. Tasty.
It’s always great when your buddies are out there doing it in a big way, and I’m sure local creatives would also be interested to know that my buddy Colin Jeffery (The Advertising Guy – ex King James) is Creative Director at David&Goliath in LA, who shot the highly acclaimed “One Epic Ride” SuperBowl commercial […]
Nasa has discovered a new habitable planetary system. Needless to say, calling the new system part of the Kepler-11 is mildly ironic considering what is being sent to orbit the pitches and dressing rooms of the approaching Cricket World Cup. But we won’t go there and that’s not what this is about either, it’s much more important.
While our Facebook photos from the event can give you an idea of the awesomeness of the vibe that day, it can never do it justice. That is why I invented the ‘moving picture’ and, subsequently, this video. Jump in and re-live that day with us. Feel the vibe throughout your body, not just through […]
Local video producer, Jaco Wolmarans was lucky enough to engage in a spot of aerial photography and videography recently. He was acting, quite literally, as the wing man (keeping an eye on the horizon for oncoming air traffic) for a colleague of his who was shooting the planes. In between playing lookout he shot this clip.
With the Radlantic continuing its game of lake-lake as far as Windguru will forecast (7 days ahead, actually), rumours of your plastic water bottle causing cancer are bound to peak. No doubt reaching for a sun exposed bottle of warm water will be met with upturned noses and precautionary words. So, hit them with the truth.
Wow. I’m not sure what the appropriate response is here. Finnish folk referring to themselves as the ‘Food Liberation Army’ have ‘kidnapped’ a statue of Ronald McDonald, and are threatening to execute within a week if their questions concerning the quality of McDonald’s food production are not answered.
In November ’09, Aids activist group Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) launched a campaign to remove an ad on ETV by the Christ Embassy church. In the ad the church claims they cure Aids. This week, finally, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) managed to force ETV to pull the ad. A little too late as it turns out.
If you see powder falling from your roses this Valentine’s Day don’t assume it’s pollen – it’s probably cocaine. Smugglers in South America are head over heels about this time of year when they can hide their product in tons of roses heading for the overseas market. Border Control is trying to keep up but it’s tough – those roses have thorns.
