Have I explained why you should forget about everything else being released this year and get excited about Tron: Legacy? I haven’t? Jeeze, I’m sorry, that’s my bad. This movie has Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde in it. It’s also the sequel to the film that defined your childhood’s idea of how ‘cyberspace’ worked. Daft Punk is doing the soundtrack. Do you need more time?
Phone calls are, by their very nature intrusive, and downright offensive for the majority of the occasions that you’re determined to suffer them. But we won’t go in to that in too much detail right now. All you need to know is that your sperm are on our side, and they hate you for all that calling you’ve been getting up to.
A brilliant ad campaign promoting the Movember testicular-cancer awareness drive has popped up at Moustaches Make A Difference, reminding us of the fact that moustaches are what make great men great. Check out the full gallery after the jump – it’s awesome.

Zombies are everywhere. They’re in your movies, in your video games, in your Jane Austen, in your head (in your head) – and then some brilliant young mind decided that we needed a zombie-based television series. Wonderful – way to keep those fresh ideas coming. Except The Walking Dead might be the franchise to put this whole ‘undead’ craze to rest for a while.
According to bladefighting.com, what we have on the left hand side here is “A triangle of Pekiti-Tirsia Kali generations.” And what a wholesome collection of obscure Philippino martial art generations it is. Thus, please enjoy the backyard demonstrations of simulated knife murder, as suffered by cardboard cutouts.
‘So, you’re in love with one of your friends, but she has a boyfriend and probably wouldn’t have sex with you anyway’ is pretty descriptive, as titles go. You probably don’t need much more to go by than that. It’s funny and you should watch it. The fireman here knows what I’m talking about.
Watch as George Takei calls out former Arkansas School Board member Clint McCance for such charmingly homophobic statements as “I enjoy the fact that [homosexuals] often give each other AIDS and die.” There isn’t any real recovery from being called a douchebag by Captain Sulu.
It’s Friday, you should look at this. A classy young John Lydon walks through London in proto-hipster gear, talking about the disintegration of the Sex Pistols and general punk things. He knew the vibe.

A blog post written by Monica Gaudio was copied entirely and published in a for-profit magazine, Cook’s Source, without permission or payment. On contacting the publication, Ms. Gaudio was informed that “the web is considered ‘public domain'” and that she should compensate Cook’s Source for editing her work. Things have not gone well for Cook’s Source since then.
There’ve been a couple of Inception spoofs floating around the interwebs lately, mostly centered on how ridiculously convoluted the plot is. That’s cool and all, but what about the real question – what would you really do if you could mess with people’s heads using a dramatic soundtrack and Ellen Page? This video answers that.
Have you seen these awesome kids who are on a sketch-show called The Saffas? They act like security guards and speak in what is supposed to be a South African accent. It’s actually pretty damn funny.There are a few more at The School of Comedy Television Show. [video]
Did you parents ever yell at you for spending all your time recreating famous movie scenes with your toys instead of doing something real that would get noticed? No, me neither. But maybe Alex Eylar did, and if so, now’s his chance to tell his parents that his carefully-reconstructed LEGO reproductions amounted to something after all.
There are very few stories these days that leave me amazed. Especially when it comes to prison inmates. But this guy…wow! What a story. A prisoner at Douglas Prison, Larry Joe will be released on December 13th 2010, the same day his album will be released. [video]
Last week, malibu showed you how awesome people can be – which is great, but we strive for objectivity here at 2oceansvibe, so here’s a video showing you some of our recent failures. Remember – the only thing better than seeing some cool people is seeing how much cooler you are than other people.

What do you reckon is shown in this picture? If you said “household dust under high-powered electron microscope”, you would be correct. A book by Brandon Broll hits us with stunning electron microscope images of insects, human body parts and household items, making even things like the bacteria on your tongue look pretty amazing. More inside.
Are you feeling lonely? Need some affection? You could always seek out a Cuddle Party. A safe place ‘to touch,and to be touched’. I’m thinking NO!
Ladies, if you’ve been thinking to yourself, “I could really use a USA Green Card but all I have to offer is a Kawasaki Ninja and my ‘hotness factor’”, fear not, for I am about to make your day.
In a shockingly innovative move, Dutch clothing company Suit Supply has released an ad campaign showing ruggedly handsome men wearing suits while in the company of half-naked women. Now everybody’s buzzing about how sexist the campaign is, which I’m sure has Suit Supply’s advertising department terribly upset. Maybe they’ll ask some half-naked women to calm them down. Careful, it gets quite steamy after the jump…
You might remember a post on The Oatmeal’s issues with phone calls? Well, following on from that, I give you their issues on emails. And I know that this is something that our 2oceansvibe readers will really appreciate.

God, I love living in the future. Don’t you? Four driverless, electric vans arrived in Shanghai yesterday after a 13,000km ‘test drive’ from Italy. They had no maps, and they stopped to pick up a hitchhiker on the way.
There are some products that offer depressing insight into the kind of marketplace we’re living in today. Sandwiches that use chicken for bread; drinks that give teenagers heart attacks; fixie bikes. But every now and then a product comes along that tells you it’s all going to be okay – and this, friends, is that product.
It’s one more sleep till the weekend and I know that if you are feeling anything like I am, it just cannot come fast enough. So I thought I would pick you up a bit and give you some awesome inspiration – either that or you are just going to feel even more like shit after this video, realising you will never be this awesome. But, I am willing to take that risk for this video.
Axe Cop is different to every other comic, if for nothing else than it’s written by Malachai Nicolle, whose name probably means nothing to you because he is only five years old! With characters like Avocado Man and Dinosaur Soldier, it’s a shoe-in to become my new favourite thing.
