When the Duchess of Cambridge’s hot sister, Pippa Middleton, isn’t appearing on best body part lists all over the world, she’s informing other equally important global trends. Such as baby names. Naming guide website, Nameberry, says Pippa’s recent rise to fame has led to her topping the most popular girl’s name list for 2011.
When it comes to the food industry, one must always be on the lookout for exciting, new trends. As you know, Ass-Flavoured Products are very “in” right now and it therefore makes perfect sense for the Caltex garage at the Waterfront to launch a titillating new range of Pieman’s ass flavoured pies.
2 December sees the South African release of Real Steel, featuring Hugh Jackman. It is about boxing, but instead of humans we are talking robots in the fighting ring! We can bring you the very first South African look at images from this “gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future.” You are welcome.
My friend Lara is a vet in training and spent most of this month putting her hands in animals. Whilst out fiddling with animals in the Kruger Park, she noticed that even the parksboard is trying to cash in by introducing various ass-flavoured products.
Nudity does not suit model Candice Boucher’s image in South Africa. No-one in SA will ever see Candice strip off, capisce? (Apart from the thousands of South Africans who saw this nude photo shoot online when she was US Playboy’s April cover girl last year, I suppose).
The Diversity High school in Alberton certainly lives up to its name when it comes to punishing their learners. In this shocking cell phone video the headmaster can be seen viciously beating a Grade 8 boy with a hosepipe. In another video a teacher forces a pupil’s hand into a bucket of cold water before striking the girl’s hands with a chalkboard duster.
Tokyo Sexwale made it fairly clear yesterday that the Julius Malema notion of land redistribution is not what he has in mind for South Africa, as Human Settlements Minister. Oh, and he also called Julius a loud-mouth.
Some of us will probably always be enthralled by the way Heston Blumenthal, world renowned scientific food chef, comes up with what he does. Now, a New York grocery store has started applying one of Heston’s techniques. Namely, pairing real food with artificial scents infused into the air in the store via scent machines, to induce sales.
We all have our lapses of judgment. But some of us make such horrendously poor decisions that one simply has to ask, “What were they on?”. Every week we bring you three contenders in what can only be described as a battle of small wits. So, with great pleasure we present this week’s three La […]
Do you want a bottle of Jack Daniels in your hands? You can, and it’s so simple. Tweet a picture of yourself chilling-out today with hashtag #jackfriday, OR mail us the self-same picture – the best one WINS! Here’s an example of a past winner: This competition is a weekly one, held every Friday. Once […]
One of the last things you expect when heading off to la la land is to wake up with a one-metre wide, 17-metre deep sinkhole beneath your bed, unless your name is Inocenta Hernandez. The city of Guatemala also happens to be built on volcanic deposits and highly prone to sinkholes, which rules out the possibility of nightfarts, although they too can be rather devastating.
Are you a man (or a woman) who is able to turn menial, everyday tasks into a spectacular event? Then you most certainly have a place in our hearts here at 2oceansVibe. Our latest hero is a guy who makes chapatti (also known as roti) like a boss. Check out his mad skills inside.
BBC News Magazine recently ran a feature on American words and turns of phrase which have entered into language in the UK. This prompted hundreds of responses from people who gave further examples and naturally complained about most of them. Some, in true British style, were truly scathing and really rather entertaining.
Local cyclists concerned about how some people treat them on the road, should take note of a new initiative launched overseas. The ‘Give Respect, Get Respect’ campaign in Philadelphia, is aimed at socially unacceptable behaviour – something we have been quite vocal about here at 2oceansvibe. The Give Respect, Get Respect campaign aimed at promoting […]
After a brief leaked appearance on Tuesday, the trailer for “”The Amazing Spider-Man” is back online for eager movie-goers to see. If you thought the crappy version of the franchise should never have been made, like I do, you’re in for some well-deserved relief: it looks quite good.
Mini Cape from Timmy Henny on Vimeo.
A short film made by Capetonian film maker, Tim Henny, has just been selected as a finalist for the San Fransisco International Festival of Short Films, from over 1 600 entries. The film, titled “Mini Cape”, has been selected for screening at the Short and Sweet London festival, and has also been submitted to various […]
The last time a 500kg, three-metre long Great White jumped into my boat, I woke up safely under my duvet, with my great white cat playing bouncy castle on my bed. You have to hand it to these boys though, not only did they escape this situation unscathed but they had to shack up with sharky, while being towed to Mossel Bay harbour.
The infamous Foxconn factory in Shenzhen, China, has claimed another life, when a 21 year-old male worker “fell to his death” from the sixth floor of a factory dormitory. More than a dozen similar fatalities by falling were reported last year.
Bridget Moleboheng was due to give birth over December and was taken to the Sebokeng Hospital in the Vaal Triangle. But when the time came she was forced to deliver her own baby. The only “help” she received from the nurses on duty was when they took time out of laughing and chatting in the corridor outside her room to tell her to keep quiet.
Every now and then it’s important to share news that makes one rethink the definition of the word “gross”. This was the first word that came to mind when I read about this latest medical marvel: the first time a fully formed nipple has been found on a woman’s foot.
The world of ridiculous internet trends is a highly competitive one. There’s photo bombing, fail videos, planking, and most recently owling – all highly popular in their day, but now quickly becoming old news. I’m told the current meme flavour is called “leisure diving”, and involves jumping into a body of water whilst striking a “leisure pose” in mid-air. Examples inside.
By now you are probably familiar with the chaos surrounding Rupert Murdoch’s empire of media companies, including the hacking scandal that has seen “The News of the World” shut its doors after more than 150 years. So it’s only a matter of time before someone makes a movie out of the whole debacle. This is what it would look like.
This will be the last time you will get to witness this phenomenon as it’s been reported that Atlantis will undock earlier than planned from the International Space Station tomorrow. This will earmark its return from its final mission into space ahead of the start of privatised space courier services next year.
Like bootleggers from the olden days, three American girls recently set up an illegal lemonade stand. They actually had the audacity to try and pawn their goods off to the unsuspecting public WITHOUT a city food and beverage permit! Luckily, good police work took care of that and the girls’ illegal and dodgy activities have now been brought to an end.
Yesterday, the Sunday Times carried a story about a dog attack. A four-year-old girl was mauled by a Rottweiler in the upmarket Hyde Park shopping centre last Monday. But what was unique about this? The dog’s handler is a dog whisperer and also claims to be “Africa’s number one dog expert.”
Fox News’ Eric Bolling recently decided that one of the guests on his show was being too mean to George W. Bush. So he spoke up in defense of the weapons of mass destruction eff up. Try spotting the slight error in this statement: “America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don’t remember any terrorist attacks on American soil during that period of time.”

Yesterday we received this harrowing report from Europe by a brave 2oceansViber. Before you continue, note that we indemnify ourselves from any angst or emotional complications that you may suffer as a result of reading the following letter.
When he’s not letting us know that he’ll be on holiday, President Jacob Zuma harnesses the power of the presidential twitter feed to promote the dramatic accomplishments of his progeny. Sweet, man. Check out the tweet after the jump.
There cannot possibly be a cooler animal than this: A mutant snake with two heads. And now, for your entertainment, you can see one. All you have to do is go to the Ukraine, famous for the beautiful nuclear-wasteland, Chernobyl.
