And when I say “SA”, I mean Saudi Arabia. Of course, I couldn’t possibly be talking about the South Africa “SA”. We don’t sever the spinal cords of our criminals. We send them to cooking school. But enough of such tom foolery. Where were we? Ah yes. Corporal punishment. You see, they’re quite keen on […]
My God, when we announced the Boschendal Cooling Towers competition, we didn’t expect anything this world class to appear! We asked you, the 2oceansvibe readers to send your best footage of the Athlone Cooling Towers (or, rather, the “Ladies of Athlone” – a title which I have NEVER heard before) going down last Sunday. Obviously […]

James: Doesn’t take hints well Every now and then Bond movies get a little bit carried away with themselves, and throw the baby out with the bath water. The baby would be logic, and the bath water would be narrative. Remember Quantum of Solace? Or the airport scene from Live and Let Die? Remember any […]

We picked up this video on PopYaCollar, featuring La Muse backstage at Cape Town Fashion Week! Check it out: Very cool! And well done to verster-cohen photography for doing the vid!
Word is afoot that a film version of my all time favourite childhood comic, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is in the works, with the writers of the Iron Man franchise on the case. Although, whether this film will work for the generation that actually cared about the comic remains to be seen. After all, […]
The Guardian reports that an Italian soccer show, Quelli Che il Calcio (of course), has been used as a communications hub by the Mafia to communicate with the Men of Respect doing hard time in the chookie. You know those shows where illiterate viewers text in with their cell phones, and the show scrolls the […]
Exxon Mobil positions it’s brand at the vanguard of innovating clean energy for the world. It has a clean, 21st century look. The employees on it’s corporate advertising posters are friendly, sharply dressed, multi-ethnic. It produces print advertisements in National Geographic like this: And they like to chat quite a bit about water on their […]
Feeling a little bit wonky… When their students aren’t quibbling over gay kissing, UCT and Stellenbosch University are waging beer war. And beer is most certainly worth waging war over. Consider these wise words of wisdom from greater men than I: “You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline […]
Being a rapper is good for business. Or rather, “bidness, yo”. So much so that Forbes has compiled a list of the top ten highest-grossing rap artists of the last year, subtly titled “Hip Hop Cash Kings” And it goes somethin’ a little like THIS, fool.
Online encyclopedia and paragon of humankind’s collective knowledge, WikiPedia, has proven it’s unbridled accuracy once again. Remember the story about WikiPedia referring to Sepp Blatter as a dickhead? And how the South African presidency made the fatal error of pulling that corrupted biographical info from WikiPedia and pasted it on their site? Well, we hope […]
The greatest Canadian scourge since Brandon Huntley Celine Dion, Justin Bieber stirs grown men to panic. The vapid, androgynous, lesbo-chic music has taken the pubescent world by storm, and the boy girl with the pudding bowl kop chop seems to wield genuine power. As demonstrated by his latest foray into social networking, where he tweeted […]
It’s not everyday I follow in the footsteps of the 2oceansvibe Weather Girls – but I couldn’t resist the chance to shoot the breeze with Julz, who has previously featured the likes of Cape Town’s very own smoking hot sex kitten, Lyndall Jarvis on her show! And that’s before we even get into Julz herself […]
Are you a business executive? Do you find yourself tempted to remain at work until the wee hours of the morning, churning out directional missives, illuminating memos and pep-rousing employee bulletins? You may be adding too much douche to your vocab. Not sure? Test yourself. Do you, or have you ever used one of these […]
It’s that time of year again, my friends, as the cream of South Africa’s blogger crop goes head to head for the industry’s highest honour. As a previous winner of the blog awards, 2oceansvibe encourages all blogs, big and small, to get involved *blog owners should click here to get a nomination badge. The 2010 […]
If you don’t know about Chat Roulette by now, you are not only very emboerrissing, but you are also missing out on one of my greatest inventions. We have already featured it a number of times on these hallowed pages – including David Thorne’s own experiences with said “portal.” I’d check that one out if […]
Since I started writing for 2oceansvibe, my mom calls me every day for proof of life! – SilverStreak, 2oceansvibe Blogger. Does sun, sand, surf, champagne, vaguely-journalistic blogging, relationships with models, musicians and international dictators sound like a good time to you? Can you string a recognisable written English sentence together? Do you find yourself endlessly […]
I’m just going to put this out there. If your father has political ambitions of the presidential kind, don’t be short sighted and follow him into the vote-collecting game. Go into mine management. It can be very, very lucrative. Ask Duduzane Zuma. But be sure to make an appointment. He may be very busy cuddling […]
If you pop over to the Maldives in the next few years (as one is prone to do), you might be inclined to hit an extended hang out at the airport in lieu of finding accommodation. Haptic Architects (London) and Narud Stokke Wiig Architects (Oslo) have teamed up to provide a design for the Maldives […]
You may have read on this morning’s spice that Rupert Murdoch has laid claim to the “Sky” in “Skype”, right after Skype announced its plans to float on the Nasdaq stock exchange in New York. The world’s most deliciously-evil media magnate has justified his claim by arguing that NewsCorp derivative BSkyB was established before Skype, […]
There has been so much press about the new iPhone 4 and its various pros and cons, that I doubt I need to educate you about them. The point is that people who have had the last two or three iPhones don’t give a toss about anything but owning the new one. And that includes […]
We’re pretty blown away by the response to the “Seth Song” we’ve been playing fairly regularly, over at 2oceansvibe Radio. It’s not only a damn funny tune, but I tell you what – it’s got the heads bopping too! Apparently The Assembly lost their minds to it last Saturday! The guys behind the tune are […]
There are only a handful of genuii (first-person masculine plural) who can pull off classified ads that rival that classic Australian BMX ad we featured back in Feb oh niner. A lot of peeps out there try their best but they just don’t get you in the same way – they’re trying too hard. Unlike […]
In this crazy, crazy world of hyper-consumption, brands are putting a lot of emphasis on consumer loyalty. And the best way to nail down consumer loyalty? Get to your consumer before anyone else does. We all know that the combination of Klipdrift brandy and Coke is quite a big deal north of the Vaal. If […]
If the original Top Gear is sex, then Top Gear USA is sex with a dead person. Mechanically speaking, you’re doing the same thing, but it’s wrong, and you should never, ever do it, and society will hate you for it, and you’ll always be remembered as the guy who took something fundamentally awesome and […]
If you’re in an executive position (as most of you LSM 12-14 vibers will be), then this is the kind of boss that you should aspire to be. Clearly, this man has been taking management lessons from one Seth Rotherham, esq. I mean, look at this company memo. Solid gold leadership, ey? There’s oh so […]
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of the latest example of South African Police Service Force overkill. Journalist Mzilikazi wa Afrika was arrested for a yet-to-be-defined offense rather uncomfortably soon after the same journalist leveled serious corruption allegations against Police Brigadier General His Worship The Most Reverend Doctor His Honour Bheki Cele. Read on for […]
Some of our parliamentary readers will be aware that yesterday the South African parliament was the scene of a death for the the first time since the the 1966 assassination of one Hendrik Verwoerd, esq. Louisa Phumela Zama, 27, was one of three people in a delegation representing a KwaZulu-Natal Reserve Force unit, the Durban […]
Denzel Washington certainly does have a unique presence on screen and tends to throw around a certain vibe. Just last week we gave you a rad video clip of Kevin Spacey impersonating Al Pacino. Someone left a comment under that article and directed our attention to this clip of a guy impersonating Denzel Washington. He […]
