Say what you like about the zeffest kids from Oranjezicht, what cannot be denied is the excellence of their merchandise. Please enjoy this fan, enrobed in this magnificent garment, spotted by 2oceansviber, Clinton. Click through for quality humour.
Today’s game involves a car that was spotted on the streets of Cape Town. This is a given, as it has a stunning WP numberplate. But the big question is, WHERE in Cape Town was it spotted? More to the point, what suburb? Follow the link to see the answer!
Now your chocolate hoovering habit is propping up the revenues of would-be dictators, more specifically, the regime of the Ivory Coast’s political limpet, Laurent Gbagbo. Feel bad. Feel very bad. And fat. Evil and fat.
I thought it only fair to start my year off back at 2oceansvibe with a Detroit Auto Show roundup. It’s what I do best you see, sort of. After the jump you will see some of the highlights of this year’s North American Motor Show.
That’s a pretty big call. I know. Alright then, I’ll hedge my bets. He’ll definitely murder either Daniel Radcliffe or JK Rowling. After long, protracted periods of stalking, high court judgments, and coincidental midnight run-ins on apartment stair wells, this here guy will eventually figure out that he has been jilted. And he will be pissed off.
Strange. We just had one. As sad as this is, this is likely to unfortunately cement in international tourists’ subconscious that old cliche of Africa as beautiful and exotic, but dangerous. On the face of it there are some differences here to the Anni Dewani murder – the victim was strangled, not shot, and it happened in Mauritius, not Gugulethu. Nevertheless, the couple was on honeymoon. The wife got murdered, in Africa.
Yesterday we had a comment on our story, Rob Taylor Took The Ultimate Jump which prompted us to do a little extra digging. Professionals suggest that his unusual behaviour leading up to his death may have been a result of drug use or a mental health ailment.
A judge put his foot down and ended the trial between the Associated Press and Shepard Fairey, the artist who painted 2008’s most famous image. The AP said the dead beat (their words) artist took their photograph and copied it with crayons and pens and things. He said are you crazy, it’s art. They said are you crazy, it looks exactly the same. I don’t think the judge had a choice.
Michael Douglas has beaten cancer and says it’s largely thanks to the strong genes bestowed upon him by his father, Kirk. Kirk Douglas is 94 and still as strong as a canary. Michael Douglas’s mother is pushing 90. If my calculations are correct that means he will live for at least 30 more years.
Chatter on the street is that Prince William’s stag party is going down at the Fez in Cape Town. Nothing’s confirmed at this point, but the rationale for the speculation is rather convincing. Click through for more.
Soon after we published the story that property development tycoon, Rob Taylor, was suspected of having perished by suicide by leaping off Table Mountain, online conversations around the incident began to reveal a number of curious, if not unnerving details of the circumstances leading up to Taylor’s death.
Rob Taylor, the property tycoon from Howick (KZN) who donated his R2,03 million Audi R8 to two car guards at the base of Table Mountain in January of 2010, is suspected of committing suicide by leaping from the base of the top cable car station on Sunday evening.
The folks at the Super Top Secret advertising firm are taking any Ed Hardy or Affliction t-shirt you send them and donating the clothing to the homeless. We like to keep our bird/stone ratio pretty solid here at 2ov, so the possibility of lowering the global douchebag quotient and helping out the lower-income brackets appeals.
Paul Mason, once the most grossly obese man on the planet, wants to sue Britain’s National Health Service for “letting him grow”. At one stage Mason weighed in at very nearly 410 Kg, but after gastric-bypass surgery the virtually waif-like Mason now weighs 235 Kg.
This is a novel idea from our ruling party: Move the end of year party to the start of the year, stretch it out over a weekend and end the whole thing with a concentrated celebration bash at the Moses Mabhida stadium. Add class to the event by serving Jack Daniel’s honey-glazed boerewors and subsidising the liquor. Now who said governing shouldn’t be fun?
A massive congratulations must go to the organisers of the 150th running of the Queen’s Plate horse race, who put on an event second to none. With the day delivering an wild array of excitement and smouldering beauty, there was barely a moment to catch one’s breath before Locnville, Zebra & Giraffe and Gizelle hit the stage for an evening concert to rival any international event. Photo gallery and celebs after the jump.
Having never met before, SA cricket captain, Graeme Smith and SA surf champ, Jordy Smith, finally met at Cafe Caprice this week. Apparently they were downing 2oceansvibe cocktails all night. Because that’s how they….? *Have you spotted any celebs around town? Send ’em through and you will be rewarded 😉
At 12:00PM on Saturday, the 8th of January 2011, three monstrously tough unicyclists and their support car will arrive in at Mouille Point lighthouse after completing a 44-day off-road tour, from Durban to Cape Town, on UNICYCLES.
You probably read in this morning’s spice about the Saffer who played Obama’s mama in a movie and then got busted. Now, we’re used to hearing of Saffers smuggling contraband abroad but never against the backdrop of a movie featuring a young Obama playing albasters. So here, free of charge, is that movie’s trailer. An indie flick. Made in Indo. Starring a model junkie. Compulsory viewing, really.
OBVIOUSLY we wouldn’t skip the annual L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate ticket competition. And with Saturday looming, you haven’t got much time to spare – so best you enter ASAP! We have 10 PAIRS of standard tickets and 2 PAIRS of VIP tickets to giveaway. So if you want to be a winner, then follow the link […]
Man, am I glad I’m not a 2010 matric. Sure, they got the holiday of their lives when the World Cup came along, but that was quickly followed by their teachers striking for months. It wasn’t very long after that the self-same teachers said right, let’s sit some exams. Naturally the press is alleviating the stress of this situation by telling matriculants that they won’t find jobs.
Joao Silva, who can easily be described as one of South Africa’s most accomplished photographers, is on the mend in the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre after losing both of his legs below the knee while on assignment for the New York Times in Afghanistan. The next stage of his recovery is physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Gwyneth Paltrow opened up recently and said she felt like a zombie after giving birth to her son in 2006. She said this is weird because she felt, like, on top of the world after her first baby was born in 2004. Well Gwyneth, I’m afraid that’s exactly what’s going to happen if you give birth to organisms named Apple and Moses.
RIP Gerry Rafferty, composer and performer of the 1978 hit, Baker Street, best known for its iconic sax line.
Have you always wanted to get into rap music but never did because you don’t understand the lyrics? Well that’s now been taken care of by William Buckholz who took it upon himself to pen a book that “explains all the confusing lyrics and terms in rap songs via language that even your elderly relations can understand”. Finally.
It was just a month ago that a reader sent in proof that Stodels Nursery was selling ‘Ass Succulents.’ We agreed that this made sense, giving the current demand for Ass Products. But Ass Succulent sales were clearly off the charts, as Stodels is now also selling Pear Ass and Peach Ass. Who would have thought? Check it out after the link.
Umbrellas are flying in Klopse circles about this year’s march not happening when or where it should have. Klopse leaders Richard “Pot” Stemmet (no relation) and Melvyn Matthews – who were once dik pelle in Victor Verster – are now bitter rivals one accusing the other of “selling out to white people”. That last point is a bit puzzling.
Most of you will be well aware that 2oceansvibe’s energy drink of choice is none other than 100% natural Pussy Energy Drink. We’ve been supporting the flavoursome drink for a couple years – ever since we started drinking it that time in Los Angeles. So anyway it looks like we aren’t the only ones – […]
Christians everywhere, present company included, are feeling various levels of indignity, ranging from mild irksomeness to apoplectic rage, and they’re directing those emotions toward the much beloved BBC television show, Top Gear. The show depicted the Stig as Baby Jesus, which is just plain wrong. We already know Baby Jesus, and he;s not the Stig.
The woman who inspired the Rosie The Riveter/”We Can Do It” WWII allied propaganda poster, Geraldine Doyle, has died at 86 years of age. After WWII, the poster became a feminist standard for independent womanhood. And girl mechanics.
